About Your ADSL Internet Access Router
Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 641 ADSL Internet Access Router.
The Prestige 641 (P641) is an ADSL router used for Internet/LAN access via an ADSL line. The Prestige
641 supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and Novell IPX, as well as transparent bridging for other
protocols. We will refer to the Prestige 641 as the P641 or simply the Prestige from now on.
The P641 can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 640Kbps and downstream maximum
transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wire,
distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed. See the sections below for more
background information on DSL and ADSL.
The P641's 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or
100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Your Prestige is easy to install and to configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via
the SMT (System Management Terminal) Interface.
