Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige 642 to a computer directly. Use straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub and then connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the NIC on the workstation.
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge No parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit. Flow Control set to None After the Prestige has been successfully connected to your network, you can make future changes to the configuration through telnet application. Connecting a POTS Splitter This is for the P642’s following the Full Rate (G.dmt) standard only.
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge Telephone Microfilters Telephone voice transmissions take place in the lower frequency range, 0 - 4KHz, while ADSL transmissions take place in the higher bandwidth range, above 4KHz. A microfilter acts as a low-pass filter, for your telephone, to ensure that ADSL transmissions do not interfere with your telephone voice transmissions.
When you power on your Prestige, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. After the initialization, the Prestige asks you to press Enter to continue, as shown.

Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge Chapter 3 Internet Access This chapter shows you how to configure the LAN as well as the WAN of your Prestige for Internet access Factory Ethernet Defaults The Ethernet parameters of the Prestige are preset in the factory with the following values: IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge You can obtain your IP address from the IANA, from an ISP, or assigned from a private network. If you belong to a small organization and your Internet access is through an ISP, the ISP can provide you with the Internet addresses for your local networks.
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge LANs & WANs A LAN (Local Area Network) is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. A WAN (Wide Area Network), on the other hand is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge 3.6.1 VC-based multiplexing In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit, e.g., VC1 carries IP, VC2 carries IPX, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.

Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge Chapter 4 Remote Node Configuration In this chapter, we discuss how to configure a remote node. A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use Menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring one of the remote nodes.
Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge 4.1.2 Encapsulation & Multiplexing Scenarios For Internet Access you should use the encapsulation and multiplexing methods used by your ISP. For a LAN-to-LAN application, e.g., branch office and corporate headquarters, prior mutual agreement on methods used is necessary because there is no mechanism to automatically determine encapsulation/multiplexing.
