About This Manual
Getting Started covers the basic information you need to
install and configure your Prestige 2864I for connection to
the Internet through an ISP (Internet Service Provider).
For more details on this and other applications, please
refer to the Prestige 2864I User’s Manual.
Before You Start
To install your Prestige, you will need the following items
in addition to the contents of this package:
• An ISDN telephone line installed by your
telephone company.
• An Ethernet connection to your computer.
• A computer equipped with communications
software.
The communications software must be configured to the
following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 Baud rate
• No parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit
Make sure you have all of these components before you
attempt to install your Prestige.
Installing Your Prestige
Figure 1 shows a diagram of the right and rear panels of
the Prestige 2864I. To help avoid problems, refer to this
diagram when you are connecting the cables to your unit.
Warning: If the wrong cable is used, your Prestige may be
damaged.
Connecting the RS-232 Cable
One white RS-232 cable is included in your package. To
connect the RS-232 cable, first click open the door on the
right panel to reveal the port. Slide one end of the RS-232
cable (looks like a telephone jack) into the port until the

retainer clicks into place. Connect the other end of the
RS-232 cable to the serial port (COM1, COM2, or any
other COM port) of your computer.
Connecting ISDN Line
Plug one end of yourblackISDN phone line into the
socket on the rear panel of the Prestige labeled ‘ISDN’
and the other end into the ISDN wall jack.
Connecting Ethernet Cable
The Prestige supports two types of Ethernet connections.
The connection procedure differs for each one; please
follow the one that is appropriate for your installation.
UTP
The UTP port is used to connect to a 10Base-T network.
10BaseT networks use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
cable and RJ-45 connectors that look like a big telephone
plug with 8 pins. Two types of gray Ethernet cables come
with the package:
• Straight through cable (P/N 57-110-004290):
Connects your Prestige to a 10BaseT hub.
• Crossover cable (P/N 57-011-208400): Connects
your Prestige to your computer directlywithout a
hub.
Warning: If this cable is used to connect ISDN, it may
damage your Prestige.
AUI
The AUI port (the connector with 15 pins) is used to
connect the Prestige to a 10Base5 (thicknet) network.
If you have a 10Base2 network using BNC connectors and
thin coaxial cables, you will need a transceiver between
the AUI port and the 10Base2 cabling.

Connecting the Power Supply
There are two cords coming out of the power supply.
• Plug the smaller connector with 4 pins into the
power receptacle on the rear panel of the
Prestige.
• Plug the bigger, three-pronged connector in an
AC outlet. To turn on the power, press the switch
in the ‘I’ direction.
Configuring Your Prestige
After you have successfully connected your Prestige, you
can use your computer’s communications software to
configure your unit. Simply select the COM port to which
your Prestige is connected and turn the power on. After
the initial data, you will be asked to enter the password.
Enter the default passwordof “1234” and press enter.
