The Prestige supports high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, movies on demand, on-line gaming, video and Voice over IP (VoIP).

2 Checking the Connections

When you turn on the Prestige,
•The PWR light turns on if the power is okay.
•The ALM light is off normally, and it turns on if there is a hardware error. The ALM light also blinks once if the VDSL connection is dropped (for any reason).
•The VDSL light blinks slowly while it is waiting for a VDSL connection, and it turns on when the VDSL con­nection is established. The light blinks quickly when it is transmitting or receiving.
•The LAN lights turn on if the corresponding LAN ports are properly connected to computers, and they blink when the corresponding LAN port is transmitting or receiving.
P-872H Quick Start Guide
If the PWR, VDSL, and LAN lights are on, you have set up the Prestige correctly. Test your Internet connection by visiting www.zyxel.com (or another Web site).
If the lights behave differently or if you cannot connect to the web site, see Troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
The PWR light is not on when I turn on the Prestige.
The ALM light is on.
You might be using the wrong power adaptor. Use the included power adaptor only. Refer to the power specifications.
If you are using the correct power adaptor, disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor, and turn on the Prestige again.
If the PWR light is still not on, use a different power outlet.
If the problem continues, contact your local vendor.
The ALM light blinks once if the VDSL connection is dropped. If the ALM light stays on, however, contact your local vendor.

The PWR light is on, and the ALM light is off--but the VDSL light is blinking slowly.
The PWR light is on and the ALM light is off--but the LAN light(s) is also off.
I cannot connect to the Internet.
Check the connection from the LINE port to the telephone jack or wall outlet.
Connect the LINE port to a different telephone jack or wall outlet.
If the problem continues, contact your DSL service provider.
LAN lights are off if you have not connected a computer to that LAN port.
Check the Ethernet connection between the Prestige LAN port and computer.
If the connection is secure, inspect the Ethernet cable for damage.
If the Ethernet cable does not appear to be damaged, check the length of the cable. Ethernet cables must be less than 100 meters.
There might be a problem with your VDSL settings or phone line. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and/or telephone company.
