  • Page 15: Preface

    About Your Prestige Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 782M G.SHDSL Bridge. The Prestige is a high-performance modem for Internet/LAN access via a telephone line. Your Prestige supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and transparent bridging for other protocols. The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 72Kbps up to 2320Kbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the type of xDSL service you subscribe to.

    P782M G.SHDSL Bridge Our Read Me First is designed to help you get up and running right away. It contains a detailed easy-to-follow connection diagram, default settings, handy checklists and information on setting up your network and configuring for Internet access. ZyXEL Glossary and Web Site Please refer to www.zyxel.com for an online glossary of networking terms and additional support documentation.

  • Page 17: What Is Dsl

    DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) technology enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. There are actually seven types of DSL service, ranging in speeds from 16 Kbits/sec to 52 Mbits/sec. The services are either symmetrical (traffic flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity).
