Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

The built-in Ethernet switch consists of four auto-negotiating 10/100BASE-T, auto-crossover 
RJ-45 ports (either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can be used) for connecting 
to your local computers.

Note: The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN 

connections to remote networks. The Prestige is an ADSL router compatible 
with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. 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.

The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides easy management.

The following sections describe the features of the Prestige. 

The 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports allow the Prestige to detect the speed of 
incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data 
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending 
on your Ethernet network. The ports are also auto-crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning they 
automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.

Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of 
up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 1 Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on 
ISP DSLAM environment.

The Prestige “L” models allow you to connect a PSTN line. You can receive incoming PSTN 
phone calls even while someone else connected to the Prestige is making VoIP phone calls. 
You can dial a (prefix) number to make an outgoing PSTN call. You can still make PSTN 
phone calls if the Prestige loses power.
