Connecting the Console Port
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use a terminal emulator on a computer and connect it to
the Prestige through the console port. To connect a computer to the console port, you must use a null modem. The
console port is a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device and not a DCE (Data Communications Equipment), thus
a null modem is needed to connect it to the COM port of a computer, which is also a DTE device. Connect the 9-
pin (smaller) end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a null
modem and connect the null modem to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer. You
can use an RS-232 cable extension if the enclosed one is too short.
After you complete the initial setup, you can modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections or via a
modem connection. If a modem is used, connect it directly to the Prestige console port without a null modem.
Connecting WAN Devices
1. Connect a WAN device such as a CSU/DSU, to the WAN port on the Prestige using an appropriate cable.
Please consult the documentation of your WAN device for detailed information when making the connections.
2. Connect a broadband Internet access device (e.g., Prestige 642 ADSL router) to an Ethernet switch port (1-14)
on the Prestige using an appropriate cable. Please consult the documentation of your broadband Internet access
device for detailed information when making the connections.
Connecting The Integrated Switch and Router
To connect the integrated switch and router, connect the LAN port of the Prestige to Ethernet switch port 16 using a
Category 5 UTP with RJ-45 connectors.
