48 Chapter 1 Getting To Know Your Prestige
The built-in Ethernet switch consists of four auto-negotiating 10/100BASE-T, auto-crossover
RJ-45 ports (either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can be used) for connecting
to your local computers.
Note: The Prestige is ideal for high-speed Internet browsing and making LAN-to-LAN
connections to remote networks. The Prestige is an ADSL router compatible
with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. Maximum data rates attainable by
the Prestige for each standard are shown in the next table.
Note: The standard your ISP supports determines the maximum upstream and
downstream speeds attainable. Actual speeds attained also depend on the
distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides easy management.
1.1.1 Features of the Prestige
The following sections describe the features of the Prestige.
Built-in Switch
The 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating Ethernet ports allow the Prestige to detect the speed of
incoming transmissions and adjust appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data
transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending
on your Ethernet network. The ports are also auto-crossover (MDI/MDI-X) meaning they
automatically adjust to either a crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable.
High Speed Internet Access
Your Prestige ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ router can support downstream transmission rates of
up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of 1 Mbps. Actual speeds attained depend on
ISP DSLAM environment.
PSTN Lifeline (“L” Models Only)
The Prestige “L” models allow you to connect a PSTN line. You can receive incoming PSTN
phone calls even while someone else connected to the Prestige is making VoIP phone calls.
You can dial a (prefix) number to make an outgoing PSTN call. You can still make PSTN
phone calls if the Prestige loses power.
