Step 2: Connecting the Prestige to the Broadband Modem
Step 2a. Connecting the Prestige to the Cable Modem
Connect the WAN port on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on the cable modem using the
cable that came with your cable modem. The Ethernet port on the cable modem is
sometimes labeled "PC" or "Workstation".
Step 2b. Connecting the Prestige to the DSL Modem
Connect the WAN port on the Prestige to the Ethernet port on the DSL modem using the
cable that came with your DSL modem.
Step 3: Connecting the Prestige to your LAN
You can connect up to four computers directly to the Prestige. For each computer, connect the 10/100M LAN
port on the Prestige to the Network Adapter on the PC using a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag). If
you have more than four computers, you must use an external hub. Connect LAN port 4 (next to the Uplink
button) on the Prestige to a port on the external hub using a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) and
press the Uplink button. If you do not press the Uplink button (LAN port 4) or use LAN ports 1 to 3 to daisy
chain the Prestige to an external hub, then you must use a crossover cable (red tag).
Step 4: Grounding the Prestige
If you want to ground the Prestige then connect a grounded wire to the F.G. (Frame Ground) of the Prestige.
Step 5: Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.
Caution: To prevent damage to the Prestige, first make sure you have the correct AC power
adapter. Please see the Appendices for AC power adapter specifications for your region.
