Prestige 314 PLUS Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch
If you have more than four computers, you must use an external hub. Connect a 10/100M LAN port on the
Prestige to a port on the hub using a crossover Ethernet cable.
The Uplink button allows you to reverse the role of LAN port 4. Pushing the Uplink button in ("on") lets
you connect LAN port 4 on the Prestige directly to a computer using a crossover Ethernet cable. If the
Uplink button is not "on", you must use a straight-through cable for this connection.
When connecting the Prestige LAN port 4 to an external hub, pressing the Uplink button allows a straight-
through Ethernet cable to be used instead of a crossover cable.
Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect one end of the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.
To prevent damage to the Prestige, make sure you have the correct power adapter.
See the Power Adapter Specification Appendix for regional specifications.
Step 5. Grounding the Prestige (Optional)
Ground the Prestige by connecting a grounded wire to the F.G. (Frame Ground) of the Prestige.
