Prestige on LAN with Server
When your Prestige is being connected to a LAN with an existing
NetWare server station, you will not need to configure it as a seed
router, and hence the network number parameter in the Ethernet
Setup Menu. Rather, your Prestige will learn the network number of
the network it is attached to through the regular RIP broadcasts
sent by the server and add this route to its routing table.

Prestige on LAN without Server
If your Prestige is connected to a LAN without an existing
NetWare server station, then it needs to create a unique external
network number to apply to that frame on the LAN. Your Prestige
must then be configured as a Seed Router, and the network number
can be configured in the Ethernet Setup Menu. The network
number must be unique and not used anywhere else on the entire
network.
