About Your Prestige
Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router.
The Prestige is a high-performance router for Internet/LAN access via a telephone line. Your Prestige
supports multi-protocol routing for TCP/IP and Novell IPX, as well as transparent bridging for other
protocols.
The Prestige supports symmetrical multi-rate data transmission speeds from 144Kbps up to 2320Kbps. The
actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the
type of xDSL service you subscribe to. Its 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data
transfer of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your
Ethernet network. See the following section for more background information on xDSL.
The Prestige uses TC-PAM line code with echo cancellation for high data rate transmissions over a single-
twisted telephone wire pair without being affected by bridge taps or mixed cable links. It also provides high
immunity from background noise.
Your Prestige is easy to install. You do not need to set any switches to configure it. Manage the Prestige via
the SMT (System Management Terminal), a menu-driven interface, that you can access from either a
terminal emulator or telnet. Or, use the CI commands that allow users to diagnose and test the Prestige
using a specified set of commands.
