2.2.2 One Auto-sensing, Auto-negotiating LAN 10/100M Port

Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 that look like a

bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. The LAN port is auto-sensing, so you may use a crossover or a straight-

through Ethernet cable to connect your Prestige to a computer or an external hub.

The auto-negotiating feature allows the Prestige to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust

appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-

duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

When the Prestige is on and properly connected to a computer or a hub, the LAN

Resetting the Prestige deletes your entire custom configuration.

Restore the default configuration file by holding this button in for more than five seconds.

Step 1.

Connecting the DSL line

Connect the RJ-11 DSL port on the Prestige to the POTS splitter using the included DSL cable (telephone

wire). Connect the micro filter(s) (optional– see 2.5 Telephone Microfilters) 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).

Step 2.

Be careful not to plug an RJ-11 connector into the RJ-45 port.
