Prestige 645M-A1 ADSL Bridge
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 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.
