LABEL DESCRIPTION
1.
LAN 10/100M
Use an Ethernet cable to connect at least one computer for initial Prestige configuration. These
ports are auto-negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-sensing (automatically adjust
to the type of Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover)).
2.
WAN 10/100M
Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.
3.
POWER 9 VAC
Connect the end of the included power adaptor (use only this adapter) to this power socket.
After you’ve made the connections, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs.
CON/AUX switch
CON/AUX port
Just connect this port if you want to configure the Prestige using the SMT via console port or set
up a backup WAN connection; see your
User’s Guide
for details.
Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the
CON/AUX
port as a console port for local device
configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console cable to the console
port of the Prestige and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) on your
computer. Your computer should have a terminal emulation communications program (such as
HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
and 9600 bps port speed.
Set this switch to the “AUX” side to use the
CON/AUX
port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN
connection. Use the included CON/AUX converter, with the console cable to connect the
CON/AUX
port to your modem or TA.
RESET
You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password. It returns the Prestige
to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, terminal emulation settings
as described above etc.; see your
User’s Guide
for details).
The Front Panel LEDs
The
PWR
LED blinks while performing system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The
CON/AUX
,
LAN
, and
WAN
LEDs turn on if they are properly connected. Refer to the
User’s Guide
for
more detailed LED descriptions.
