Prestige 100MH Quick Start Guide

Chapter 1

Before You Begin

1.1 Purpose Of This Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to setup your new Prestige and Windows 95/NT workstations for Internet access using the Prestige Web Configurator (PWC).

The Prestige Web Configurator provides a quick, simple, and intuitive way to configure your Prestige. Using a “point-and-click” Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), you can configure, save, monitor, and diagnose your Prestige from any workstation on your LAN.

1.2 Who Should Not Use This Guide:

If the intended application for your Prestige is other than Internet access for Window 95 or NT workstations, then this guide is not for you. Please refer to the Prestige User’s Guide for details on other applications.

1.3 Package Contents

This first thing you should do is check all items you received with your Prestige against this list to make sure nothing is missing. The complete package should include:

θ One Prestige 100MH Router/Hub θ One Power Adapter: 16V AC Output

Prestige 100MH Quick Start Guide

θ One Telephone Cable with RJ-11 Connectors

θ One DB -25(male)/DB-9(female) Converter θ One Console RJ-45/DB-25(female) Cable

θ One Ethernet 10Base-T cable θ One Prestige Web Configurator CD ROM θ One Prestige Series User's Manual θ One Warranty Registration Card θ One Prestige Web Configurator User’s Guide θ This Prestige Quick Start Guide

1.4 Information From Your I SP

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) should provide information needed to setup your Prestige, usually in the form of an account configuration sheet. The information includes:

l User name and password l ISP’s access phone number. l IP address of ISP’s DNS (Domain Name System) server(s). l Will the ISP be providing you with a static IP address?

Ø If yes, what is the range of IP address and subnet mask dedicated to your account?

l Does the ISP support Multi-Link PPP (MP)?

If your Internet access is not through a commercial ISP, e.g., your corporate dial-in server, please consult with your network administrator for the above information.

1.5 Prestige’s Default TCP/IP Settings

1.5.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask

Your Prestige is pre-configured in the factory with IP Address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (Class C).

1.5.2 DHCP Setting

Your Prestige has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP allows the individual wor kstations on a network to obtain their TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server (in this case, the Prestige ).

The Prestige’s DHCP server is enabled by default. The server has a pool of 32 IP addresses ranging from 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. To minimize your workload, we recommend that you leave the DHCP server enabled, unless you already have another DHCP server running or other specific reasons.
