Prestige 480 Dual BRI ISDN Router
Worksheet B
General Information
The Prestige requires certain system information. You can obtain all the pertinent information from your
network administrator.
System Name - This is the name given by you in Menu 1 to the Prestige for identification purpose.
Protocol Routing – This refers to the protocols used for moving information across different networks. P480
supports TCP/IP protocol.
ISDN Information
Refer to the section ISDN Setup Menus in the chapter Hardware Installation and Setup for further details.
Switch Type - This is the type of switch used by your telephone company.
B Channel Usage - Determine which connection is appropriate for your B channel and check the
corresponding option on the worksheet. For example, if your Prestige is the only device using the ISDN
lines, then configure B Channel Usage to Switch/Switch so that your Prestige will use both B channels to
communicate. If your Prestige is sharing the ISDN lines with other devices, then configure B Channel to
Switch/Unused. If your second B channel is a leased line, select Switch/Leased and so on.
Ethernet Information
Refer to the chapter Internet Access of this guide for more details.
IP Address -. The IP Address is the unique 32-bit number assigned to your Prestige. This address is written
in dotted decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods), e.g., 192.168.1.1.
IP Subnet Mask - This field is required for TCP/IP protocol. An IP address consists of two part s, the
network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask is used to specify the network ID portion of the address,
expressed in dotted decimal notation. The Prestige automatically calculates this mask based on the IP address
that you assign. Unless you have special need for subnetting, use the default mask as calculated by the
Prestige.
