Information for Canadian Users
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety requirements. The Industry Canada does not
guarantee that the equipment will operate to a user's satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the
local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company's inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The customer should be aware that the compliance with the
above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the
supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the
telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
For their own protection, users should ensure that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
NOTE
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in
the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.

1.1 Connecting Your Computer and Your Prestige
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, use the provided RS-232C cable and communication software to
configure your Prestige. After your Prestige has been successfully installed, you can modify the configuration through
a console port as well as a remote telnet connection.
Step 1. Connecting an IDSL Line to Your Prestige
Plug one end of the IDSL line included in your package into the socket on the rear panel of your Prestige labeled
LINE, and the other end into the IDSL wall jack or another Prestige.
NOTE: The IDSL jack is for IDSL line connections only. Connecting it to a regular phone
line may result in damage to your Prestige.
Step 2. Connecting the RS-232C Cable to Your Prestige
One 9-25 pin adapter is included with your Prestige. To connect an RS-232C cable, connect the 9-pin end of the cable
to the console port on the back panel of the Prestige. Connect the other end to the RS-232C cable connected to the
serial port (COM1, COM2, or any other COM port) of your computer.
Step 3. Connecting an Ethernet Cable to Your Prestige
The Prestige is equipped with a 4-port hub for you to build a 10Base-T Local Area Network (LAN). 10Base-T
networks use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable and RJ-45 connectors that look like a bigger telephone plug with
8 pins. Two types of Ethernet cables come with the package:
A. Straight-through cable (white tag) – connect your computers to your Prestige.
B. Crossover cable (red tag) – connect your Prestige to another 10Base-T hub.
Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to Your Prestige
Plug the 16VAC 1000mA power adapter into the outlet on the rear panel of the Prestige labeled POWER. At this
point you should have connected the RS-232C cable, the ISDN phone line, the Ethernet cable, and the power supply.
Step 5. Powering On
You can now power on your Prestige.
