Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige

47

This chapter describes the key features and applications of your 

Prestige.

The Prestige 2602H/HL/HW/HWL-C are ADSL VoIP IADs (Integrated Access Device) with 
a built-in switch. They combine high-speed Internet access and Voice over IP (VoIP) 
communication capabilities. They allow you to use a traditional analog telephone to make 
Internet calls. By integrating DSL and NAT, the Prestige provides ease of installation and 
Internet access. The Prestige is also a complete security solution with a robust firewall and 
content filtering.

At the time of writing, this guide covers the following Prestige models (this guide abbreviates 
“Prestige” to “P” in the model name as in P2602H for example).

In the Prestige product name, “H” denotes an integrated 4-port hub and “W” denotes wireless 
functionality. The P2602HW has an embedded mini-PCI module for IEEE 802.11g wireless 
LAN connectivity.

Note: All wireless features in this guide pertain to the P2602HW/HWL series only.

“L” denotes models that include the PSTN  (Public Switched Telephone Network) lifeline 
feature. PSTN lifeline lets you have VoIP phone service and PSTN phone service at the same 
time. 

Models ending in “1”, for example P2602HW-61, 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 Services Digital Network). 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
