Getting to Know Your VDSL Modem
This chapter covers the key features and main applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Introducing the Prestige
The Prestige can be used for high-speed Internet access through a VDSL connection over the telephone
line. The Prestige supports data transmission speeds of 50 Mbps downstream and 30 Mbps upstream. The
actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the
type of DSL service you subscribe to. Its 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 configure using CLI (Command Line Interface) commands.
