Applications for the Prestige 642R

The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports the TCP/IP protocol,

which the Internet uses exclusively. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber

Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a

backbone network interface/connection (e.g., T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay). Think of it as the

equivalent of a modem rack for ADSL. A typical Internet Access application is shown below.
