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 Rj-45 of the console cable to the
console port of the Prestige and the 9-pin female 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 RJ-45 end of the console cable to the CON/AUX port and use the
9-pin end of the cable to connect to a modem or TA.
DSL Connect to a telephone jack using a telephone wire.

3 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.
