Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your 
Prestige.
1.1  Introducing the Prestige 
Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-
speed ADSL port into a single package. The Prestige is an ADSL Ethernet Gateway 
compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. It allows super-fast, secure Internet 
access over the analog (POTS) or digital (ISDN) telephone line (depending on your model). 
Maximum data rates attainable by the Prestige for each standard are shown in the next table.

Note: The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and 
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the 
distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
Models ending in "1", for example P-660R-T1, denote a device that works over the analog 
telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models ending in "3" denote a device 
that works over ISDN (Integrated Synchronous Digital System).  Models ending in "7" denote 
a device that works over T-ISDN (UR-2).
Note: Only use firmware for your Prestige’s specific model. Refer to the label on the 
bottom of your Prestige.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides easy management.
