1-2 Hardware Installation & Initial Setup

1.3 Rear Panel and Connections of the P642M

The following figure shows the rear panel connectors of your Prestige.

The On/Off switch is optional with some Prestige Models

Step 1. Connecting the ADSL Line

Connect the Prestige directly to the wall jack using the included ADSL cable. OPTIONAL: connect a

microfilter between the wall jack and your telephone(s). A microfilter acts as a low pass filter (voice

transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz bandwidth). A telephone microfilter is an optional purchase.

Step 2. Connecting a Workstation to the Prestige 10/100M LAN port

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

642M 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 PWR on the rear panel of your Prestige.

Step 4. Connecting the Console Port

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 end of a console cable to the console

port of the Prestige and the 25 or 9 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 cable you are using is too short.
