Preface

About Your ADSL Internet Access Router

Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 645R ADSL Internet Access Router.
The Prestige 645R is an ADSL router used for Internet/LAN access via an ADSL line. We will refer to the

Prestige 645R router as the P645R or simply the Prestige from now on.
The P645R can run upstream maximum transmission rates of 800 Kbps and downstream maximum

transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the type of ADSL service subscribed to, the copper
category of your telephone wire and the distance from the central office. See the following sections for
more background information on DSL and ADSL.

The P645R's 10/100M LAN interface enables fast data transfer of 10Mbps or 100Mbps in either half­duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.

Your Prestige is easy to install and to configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via
the SMT (System Management Terminal) interface.

What Is ADSL?

About AD S L

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides high-speed data access across regular
phone lines (copper wires) by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band.
By placing the ADSL signal above the frequency of voice signals, ADSL service is able to coexist on the
same line with your telephone service. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it provides a higher downstream
data rate transfer (up to 8Mbps), than in the upstream transfer (up to 832 Kbps). Asymmetric operation is
ideal for typical home and small office use where files and information are downloaded more frequently than
uploaded.

Advantages of ADSL

1. ADSL provides a private (unlike cable telephone and modem services where the line is shared),

dedicated and secure channel of communications between you and your service provider.

2. Because your line is dedicated (not shared), transmission speeds are not affected by other users. With

cable modems, transmission speeds drop significantly as more users go on-line because the line is
shared.

3. ADSL is "always on" (connected). This means that there is no time wasted dialing up the service several

times a day and waiting to be connected; ADSL is on standby, ready for use whenever you need it.

2.2 Prestige 645R Rear Panel and Connections

The following figure shows the rear panel connectors of your Prestige.

Figure 2-2 Prestige 645R Rear Panel Connections

2.2.1 Using the Reset Button

The reset button restores the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, as well as
the default SMT password of 1234. The DHCP server will also be reset to server mode with a pool of 32 IP
addressed starting at 192.168.1.33.

In order to prevent accidental use of the reset button, it only works as follows. To use the reset button, turn
off the Prestige and insert a small pointed object (like a pen) into the reset hole to push the reset button.
Next, turn on your Prestige and keep the reset button pressed for one minute.

2.2.2 Making the Connections

Step 1. Connecting the ADSL line

Connect the RJ-11 DSL port on the Prestige to the POTS splitter using the incl uded ADSL cable (telep hone
wire). Connect the micro filter(s) (optional– see

2-2 Hardware Installation & Setu p

Prestige 645 ADSL Internet Access Router

Figure 2-4 Connecting the Microfilter) between the wall jack and your telephone(s). The micro filters act as
low pass filters (voice transmission takes place in the 0 to 4KHz band width).

Step 2. Connecting a computer to the Prestige 10/100M LAN port

Be careful not to plug a RJ-11 connector into the RJ-45 port.

Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T networks use Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable with RJ-45 connectors that
look like a bigger telephone plug with 8 pins. Use a crossover cable (red tag) to connect your Prestige 645R
to a computer directly. Use a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) to connect to an external hub and
then connect one end of a straight through Ethernet cable (white tag) from the hub to the Network Interface
Card (NIC) on the computer.

Step 3. Connecting the power adapter to your Prestige

Make sure that you use a P/N DV-121AACS (rated 12VAC

1.0A) or equivalent power supply.

Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.

2.3 Additional Installation Requirements

In addition to the contents of your package your computer must have a properly installed and enabled
Ethernet 10Base-T/100Base-T NIC.

2.4 Connecting the POTS Splitter

You may purchase an optional POTS splitter for use with the Full Rate (G.dmt and ANSI T1.413)
standards. One major difference between ADSL and dial-up modems is the need for a telephone splitter.
This device keeps the telephone and ADSL signals separated, giving the capability to provide simultaneous
Internet access and telephone service on the same line. Splitters also eliminate the destructive interference
conditions caused by telephone sets. The telephone splitter has to be installed on the line at the point of
entry to the residence.

Noise generated from a telephone in the same frequency range as the ADSL signal can be disruptive to the
ADSL signal. In addition the impedance of a telephone when off-hook may be so low that it essentially
shunts the strength of the ADSL signal. When a POTS splitter is insta lled at the entry point where the line
comes into the home, it will filter the telephone signals before combining the ADSL and telephone signals
transmitted and received. The issues of noise and impedance are eliminated with a single POTS splitter
installation.

A telephone splitter can be installed as shown in the following figure.
