1 DSL: Connect the Prestige to a telephone jack using a telephone wire.

2 LAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN 10/100M port for initial configuration and/or
Internet access.
3 POWER: Use the included power adaptor to connect the POWER socket to an appropriate power source
(see the User’s Guide for power adaptors specifications by region).

After you’ve made the connections, push in the power button to turn on the Prestige. Look at the front panel
LEDs. The PWR/SYS LED blinks while performing system testing. The PWR/SYS and/or WLAN LEDs then
turn steady on if the testing is successful. The LAN LED turns on if the LAN port is properly connected.

3 Wireless Configuration
WPA-PSK encryption is preferred to WEP because it has user authentication and improved data encryption. If
you don’t have WPA-capable wireless clients, configure WEP encryption.

Note: Wireless clients and the Prestige must use the same SSID, channel ID, WEP or WPA-PSK key (if
enabled).

4 NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) means the translation of an IP address in one network to
a different IP address in another. For example, you could translate one public IP address to multiple private IP
addresses on your LAN (SUA Only).
