Before You Begin
1.1 Purpose Of This Guide
This guide provides instructions on how to setup your new Prestige and Windows 95/NT
workstations for Internet access using the Prestige Web Configurator (PWC).

Prestige. Using a “point-and-click” Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), you can
configure, save, monitor, and diagnose your Prestige from any workstation on your LAN.
1.2 Who Should Not Use This Guide:
If the intended application for your Prestige is other than Internet access for Window 95 or NT
workstations, then this guide is not for you. Please refer to the Prestige User’s Guide for details
on other applications.

1.4 Information From Your ISP
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) should provide information needed to setup your Prestige,
usually in the form of an account configuration sheet. The information includes:
lUser name and password
lISP’s access phone number.
lIP address of ISP’s DNS (Domain Name System) server(s).
lWill the ISP be providing you with a static IP address?
ØIf yes, what is the range of IP address and subnet mask dedicated to your account?
lDoes the ISP support Multi-Link PPP (MP)?
If your Internet access is not through a commercial ISP, e.g., your corporate dial-in server,
please consult with your network administrator for the above information.

1.5 Prestige’s Default TCP/IP Settings
1.5.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Your Prestige is pre-configured in the factory with IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask
of 255.255.255.0 (Class C).
1.5.2 DHCP Setting
Your Prestige has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP
allows the individual workstations on a network to obtain their TCP/IP configuration at start-up
from a centralized DHCP server (in this case, the Prestige).
The Prestige’s DHCP server is enabled by default. The server has a pool of 32 IP addresses
ranging from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. To minimize your workload, we recommend that
you leave the DHCP server enabled, unless you already have another DHCP server running or
other specific reasons.
