  • Page 15: Preface

    There are two Prestige 642 manuals. This manual discusses the Prestige 642 Full Rate and G.Lite routers (see What is ADSL ahead for more details). We will refer to the Prestige 642 router as the P642 or simply the Prestige from now on.

    About This User's Guide This user's guide covers all aspects of the Prestige 642 operations and shows you how to get the best out of the multiple advanced features of your ADSL Internet Access Router using the SMT. It is designed to guide you through the correct configuration of your Prestige 642 for various applications.

    Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router What is DSL? DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) enhances the data capacity of the existing twisted-pair wire that runs between the local telephone company switching offices and most homes and offices. While the wire itself...
  • Page 19 Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router Over 100 times faster than 56 Kbps modems 70 times faster than 128 Kbps ISDN 5. Both residential and businesses properties around the world are already running out of spare lines on existing installed telephone cables. ADSL provides service providers with the capability to use one line to provide new data services while maintaining the telephone service on the same line, thus leveraging the existing infrastructure.
  • Page 20 Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router For example, if there were no constraints of the Internet backbone or if fast servers were located in every telephone central office, an ADSL modem could download the entire Encyclopedia Britannica to a user's laptop in 16.6 minutes, compared to 6.4 days using a typical modem speed of 14,400 bps.
  • Page 21 Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router The G.Lite version of ADSL is a subset of ADSL service. Its key goal was to develop a technology that could be easily installed by end users. G.Lite allows telcos to provision DSL and customers to set up G.LITE DSL connections on their own - without the delay and expense of a telco service visit.
  • Page 22 Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router Drawing 2 It is the sharing of the telephone and ADSL signals on the same in-house wiring that seemed to be the greatest potential for difficulty with G.Lite. Noise generated from a telephone in the same frequency range as the ADSL signal can be disruptive to the ADSL signal.

    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.

    Bridging bases the forwarding decision on the MAC (Media Access Control), or hardware address, while routing does it on the network layer (IP or IPX) address. Bridging allows the Prestige 642 to transport packets of network layer protocols that the Prestige 642 does not route, e.g., SNA, from one network to another.
