Step 3.
Telephone/Fax Connection
The telephone line can be share between the internal modem and other equipment, e.g., a
telephone, an answering machine or a fax machine. Use the PHONE port to connect other
telephony machines to the
Prestige
. Be sure to follow the instructions of other machines when
connecting them to the
Prestige
.
Step 4.
Ethernet Connections
The Ethernet ports 1,2,3, and 4 at the rear panel to create an Ethernet 10Base-T network.
Connect a workstation to the
Prestige
using a straight-through 10Base-T cable, which is a
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone
plug with 8 pins.
Step 5.
Connect the Power Adapter to your
Prestige
Plug the power adapter into the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your
Prestige
.
2.4 Connecting External Hubs
The
Prestige
can accommodate up to 4 workstations on the built-in Ethernet hub, if you have
more than 4, then you need an external hub for the additional ones. If this is the case, connect
the external hub to the
Prestige
by using a straight-through cable from the uplink port of the
external hub to one of the 4 Ethernet ports of the
Prestige
. Please make sure that the uplink
port on the external hub is in the uplink mode (usually with a toggle switch). If your external
hub does not have an uplink port, then you must use a crossover cable to daisy-chain it to the
Prestige
.
