After the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections.

address of 192.168.1.1 to telnet from your LAN PC to your Prestige 941.
2.4 Network Configuration of Your Computer
You must have a network interface card installed on your computer and configure the TCP/IP protocol stack
properly. For Windows® 95/98/NT, please configure your computer as a DHCP client.
For Windows® 95/98, you can use the following command to verify the TCP/IP configuration.
Winipcfg
For Windows® NT, you can use the following command.
Ipconfig
2.5 Router Configuration
While your Prestige operates in Router mode, you have to further configure it through the console port.
In router mode, you do not need to ask your cable company for a special configuration. The Prestige can act
as a DHCP client to acquire an IP address from the headend. Besides, it can act as a DHCP server at the LAN
port and assign an IP address to your computers on the LAN subnet. What you have to do is to configure the
LAN port with the proper IP address and netmask. If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN subnet,
you can disable the DHCP server in the Prestige but you have to assign an IP address/ netmask for the LAN
port.
