Prestige 782R G.SHDSL Router
Hardware Installation and Initial Setup 2-3
Connecting your Prestige to the LAN and xDSL network.
To prevent damage to the Prestige:
DO NOT connect the G.SHDSL line to the LAN port jack.
DO NOT connect your telephone line to the xDSL RJ-11 port.
Step 1. Connecting the xDSL Line
Plug the Prestige (port labeled xDSL) into the telephone jack using the RJ-11 cable (supplied).
Step 2. Connecting the Console Port
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use terminal emulator software on a computer and
connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin end of the console cable to the console
port of the Prestige and the other 9-pin end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your
computer. You can use an extension RS-232C cable if the enclosed one is too short.
Step 3. Connecting a Computer to the Prestige
Ethernet 10Base-T networks use Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that look like
a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use the crossover cable to connect your Prestige to a computer directly
or use straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to an external hub and then connect one end of the
straight-through Ethernet cable from the hub to the NIC on the computer.
Step 4. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.
To prevent damage to the Prestige, first make sure you have the correct DC power
adapter specifications for your particular region. (See the Appendix section)
2.4 Turning On Your Prestige
You can now turn on your Prestige by flipping the power switch to the on position (I is ON, O is OFF).
Step 1. Initial Screen
When you turn on your Prestige, it performs several internal tests as well as line initialization. After the
initialization, the Prestige prompts you to press [ENTER] to continue, as shown.
