Prestige 661H/HW Series Quick Start Guide

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

2LAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN 10/100M port for initial configuration and/or

Internet access.

3POWER: 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 LEDs turn on if the (corresponding) LAN ports are properly
connected.

2 Configuration for Internet Access

You may configure the Prestige for Internet access in any one of these ways:

• Configuration Genie

• Zero Configuration

• Web Configurator Internet Access Wizard

Prestige 661H/HW Series Quick Start Guide

2.1 Configuration Genie

From the included CD, click “Multimedia Auto Provisioner” (the installation and configuration assistant) and
then click “Installation Tutorial”. After you’ve viewed the tutorial, click “Configuration Genie” at the end of the
installation tutorial or from “Multimedia Auto Provisioner” in the CD.

2.2 Zero Configuration

Launch your web browser and
navigate to any web site (for
example, www.zyxel.com). The
Prestige automatically detects
and configures your Internet
connection. This may take about
two minutes.

If you have a PPPoE or PPPoA
connection, a screen displays
prompting you to enter your
Internet account information. Enter the username, password and/or service name exactly as provided. Click

Apply.

Note: Configuration Genie or Zero Configuration are only able to configure the device automatically for

Internet access if you are using PPPoE, PPPoA or ENET ENCAP encapsulation with a
dynamically-assigned IP address from your ISP.

If you’re not using these Internet access settings, then use the Web Configurator Internet

Access Wizard to manually configure the device.

2.3 Accessing the Web Configurator

1 Launch your web browser. Enter

“192.168.1.1” as the web site address.

3.1 OTIST

Configure this screen only if you have OTIST-aware wireless clients. OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security
Technology) allows you to transfer your Prestige’s SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK security settings to wireless
clients that support OTIST and are within transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate
a WPA-PSK key for you if you didn’t configure one manually.

Click Advanced Setup, Wireless LAN and then click OTIST. To change the Setup key enter up to eight
printable characters. To have OTIST automatically generate a WPA-PSK key select the Yes check box. If you
manually configured a WEP key or a WPA-PSK key and you also selected this check box, then the key you
manually configured is used.

Note: The AP and wireless client(s) MUST use

the same Setup key

In each wireless client ZyXEL utility, click the Adapter tab. Select the OTIST check box, enter the same

Setup Key as your Prestige’s and click Save.

Note: You must click Start in the Prestige OTIST web configurator screen and in the wireless client(s)

Adapter screen all within three minutes (at the time or writing). You can start OTIST in the

wireless clients and Prestige in any order but they must all be within range and with OTIST
enabled.

Cannot access the Internet. Verify the Internet connection settings in the wizard. Make sure you entered the

Make sure that you have the correct power adaptor connected to the Prestige, it
is plugged into an appropriate power source and the Prestige is turned on.

Check all cable connections. If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a
hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.

Check the cable connection from your computer to the Prestige.

Make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the Prestige’s
IP address (see Section 7.1 on page 12).

Ping the Prestige from a computer on the LAN. Make sure your computer’s
Ethernet adapter is installed and functioning properly. In the computer, click

Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the
Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the Prestige’s LAN IP

address (192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The Prestige

If the Prestige’s IP address has changed, then enter the new one as the URL.

Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later with
JavaScript enabled.

Make sure you enter the password correctly (the field is case sensitive).

If you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password, use the RESET button. Press the
button in for about 10 seconds (or until the PWR/SYS LED starts to blink), then
release it. It returns the Prestige to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN
IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).
