Introducing the Prestige

The Prestige 791R Router can be used for high-speed LAN-to-LAN connections or Internet access

through a G.SHDSL connection over the telephone line. You can use your Prestige for either IP

routing or bridging depending on your ISP (Internet Service Provider) configuration.

You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following

information.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

POWER Connect to a power source using the power adapter for your region (see your User’s

Guide).

RESET You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password. It returns the

Prestige to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, terminal

emulation settings as described above etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).

LAN 10M/100M Connect to a computer/external hub using an Ethernet cable. The LAN port is auto-sensing

which means either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable will do in either case.

LABEL DESCRIPTION

CON/AUX switch

CON/AUX port

Only connect this port if you want to configure the Prestige using the SMT via console port

or set up a backup WAN connection; see your User’s Guide for details.

Set this switch to the “CON” side to use the CON/AUX port as a console port for local

device configuration and management. Connect the 9-pin male end of the console cable to

the console port of the Prestige and the other end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other

COM port) on your computer. Your computer should have a terminal emulation

communications program (such as HyperTerminal) set to VT100 terminal emulation, no

parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control and 9600 bps port speed.

Set this switch to the “AUX” side to use the CON/AUX port as an auxiliary dial-up WAN

connection. Connect the 9-pin male end of the RS-232 Y-cable to the CON/AUX port and

use the included CON/AUX converter on the other 9-pin end of the cable to connect to a

modem or TA.

DSL Connect to a telephone jack using the included RJ-11 cable.

The Front Panel LEDs

Turn on the Prestige by pressing the ON/OFF button.

The PWR LED turns on when you connect the power. The SYS LED blinks while performing

system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The LAN,CON/AUX, DSL, and

PPP/ACT LEDs turn on if they are properly connected. Refer to the User’s Guide for more detailed

LED descriptions.

Setting Up Your Computer’s IP

Address

Skip this section if your computer is already set up to accept a dynamic IP address.

This is the default for most new computers.

The Prestige is already set up to assign your computer an IP address. Use this section to set up your

computer to receive an IP address or assign it a static IP address in the 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254

range with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This is necessary to ensure that your computer can

communicate with your Prestige.

Your computer must have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP installed. TCP/IP should already be installed

on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems.

Windows 2000/NT/XP

1. In Windows XP, click start, Control Panel. In Windows 2000/NT, click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

3. Right-click Local Area Connection and then click Properties.

4. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) (under the General tab in Win XP) and click Properties.

5. The Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties screen opens (the

General tab in Windows XP).

- To have your computer assigned a dynamic IP address, click

Obtain an IP address automatically.

If you know your DNS sever IP address(es), type them in the

Preferred DNS server and/or Alternate DNS server fields.

-To configure a static IP address, click Use the following IP

Address and fill in the IP address (choose one

from192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254), Subnet mask

(255.255.255.0), and Default gateway (192.168.1.1) fields.

Then enter your DNS server IP address(es) in the Preferred

DNS server and/or Alternate DNS server fields.

If you have more than two DNS servers, click Advanced, the

DNS tab and then configure them using Add.
