Prestige 642 ADSL Bridge

Connecting the ADSL Line

Step 1.

Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. Connect the micro filter(s)

(supplied – see Figure 2-4 Connecting a Microfilter) between the wall jack and your telephone(s). The

micro filters act as low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth).

Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige 10/100M LAN port

Step 2.

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.

Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Connecting the Console Port

Step 4.

For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a workstation

and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable (9-pin to

25-pin console cable supplied) to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin end to a serial port (COM1,

COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232 cable if the enclosed

one is too short.
