Prestige 791R G.SHDSL Router Quick Start Guide Version 3.40 May 2003 Prestige 791R Introducing the Prestige The Prestige 791R Router can be used for high-speed LAN-to-LAN connections or Internet access through a G.SHDSL connection over the telephone line. You can use your Prestige for either IP routing or bridging depending on your ISP (Internet Service Provider) configuration. You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information. INTERNET ACCOUNT INFORMATION Your device's WAN IP Address (if given): __________________ DNS Server IP Address (if given): Primary __________________, Secondary _________________ Virtual Path Identifier (VPI): ____________ Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI): ____________ Multiplexing (VC-based or LLC-based): Encapsulation: Transfer Rate: Standard Mode: RFC 1483 ENET ENCAP PPPoA PPPoE Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway IP Address: ____________________ User Name: ____________ Service Name: ____________ User Name: ____________ Password: ____________ Password: ____________ VC LLC 2 Prestige 791R Quick Start Overview Hardware Installation............................................................................................................. 3 Setting Up Your Computer's IP Address.............................................................................. 5 Configuring Your Prestige ..................................................................................................... 6 Hardware Installation Rear Panel LABEL POWER RESET DESCRIPTION Connect to a power source using the power adapter for your region (see your User's Guide). 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, terminal emulation settings as described above etc.; see your User's Guide for details). Connect to a computer/external hub using an Ethernet cable. The LAN port is auto-sensing which means either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable will do in either case. LAN 10M/100M 3 Prestige 791R LABEL CON/AUX switch CON/AUX port DESCRIPTION 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 9-pin male end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the other 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 9-pin male end of the RS-232 Y-cable to the CON/AUX port and use the included CON/AUX converter on the other 9-pin end of the cable to connect to a modem or TA. DSL Connect to a telephone jack using the included RJ-11 cable. The Front Panel LEDs Turn on the Prestige by pressing the ON/OFF button. The PWR LED turns on when you connect the power. The SYS LED blinks while performing system testing and then stays on if the testing is successful. The LAN, CON/AUX, DSL, and PPP/ACT LEDs turn on if they are properly connected. Refer to the User's Guide for more detailed LED descriptions. 4 Prestige 791R 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. Windows 2000/NT/XP 1. 2. In Windows XP, click start, Control Panel.

If you enable Rate Adaption, the Prestige will connect at the optimal transfer rate between the min and max rates below. If you disable Rate Adaption, it will attempt to connect at the maximum transfer rate configured. If that rate can't be attained, the connection will not be established. Next, select transfer rates from the Max Rate and Min Rate drop-down list boxes. For back-to-back applications make sure that your Prestige and its peer have the same Transfer Max Rate and the same Transfer Min Rate. If your Prestige is a server, then select the mode that applies to your region: ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). If your Prestige is a client, select the same Standard Mode that the server side selects. Step 2. Click Next to go to the second Wizard screen. From the Mode drop-down list box, select Routing or Bridge based on the information from you ISP. Select the encapsulation type your ISP uses from the Encapsulation drop-down list box. The choices are PPPoA, RFC1483, PPPoE and ENET ENCAP. PPPoE and ENET ENCAP are available only when you select Routing in the Mode field. Select the multiplexing method used by your ISP from the Multiplex drop-down list box. The choices are LLC and VC.
