1 Introducing the Prestige
The Prestige is a broadband sharing gateway with a built-in wireless LAN access point and four-port 10/100
Mbps switch that makes it easy for people to set up a small home/office network and share Internet access via
a broadband (cable/DSL) modem. Key features of the Prestige include media bandwidth management, an
embedded 802.11g wireless LAN security, One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology, firewall, VPN,
content filtering, NAT and UPnP. See your User’s Guide for more details on all Prestige features.
You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
LAN 10/100M Use an Ethernet cable to connect at least one computer for initial Prestige configuration. These
ports are auto-negotiating (can connect at 10 or 100Mbps) and auto-sensing (automatically
adjust to the type of Ethernet cable you use (straight-through or crossover)).
WAN 10/100M Connect your cable/DSL modem to this port with the cable that came with your modem.
POWER 12 VAC Connect the end of the included power adaptor (use only this adapter) to this power socket.
After you’ve made the connections, connect the power cable to a power supply and look at the front panel LEDs.
RESET You only need to use this button if you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password. It returns the
Prestige to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN IP address 192.168.1.1. See your User’s
Guide for details).

3 Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address
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.
Skip this section if your computer’s IP address is already between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Your computer must have a network 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. Refer to the Setting
Up Your Computer’s IP Address appendix for other operating systems.
