The Integrated Switch

The integrated switch consists of 16 ports with VLAN capability. Ports 1 to 14 are logically independent and are
invisible to each other. In factory default, all ports are visible to port 15 (reserved to connect a local application
server) and port 16 (reserved to connect the switch to the Prestige routing module).

Connect to Networking Devices Example

In a multiple switch system, you link the uplink port of each switch (see your switch documentation) to a Prestige
integrated Ethernet switch port (1 to 15) using a straight through Category 5 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable
with RJ-45 connectors.
The following figure shows you a Prestige – phoneline switch connections example which might be seen in a large
building. The tenants' computers have phoneline PCI cards installed.
Tenants connect to the 1Mbps phoneline network using a phoneline PCI card such as ZyXEL's PPC-10 or a
phoneline Ethernet Converter such as ZyXEL's PEC-50. The phoneline switches are connected to a Main
Distribution Frame (MDF) from which all tenants already have phone line connections. You may connect up to 15
switches (14 if you wish to connect a local application server to port 15 of the integrated Ethernet switch) to the
Prestige, easily meeting multiple tenant Internet access requirements. See your phoneline switch manual for details
on switch connections.
