Hardware Installation and Setup 2-3
Step 3. Connecting the Power Adapter to your Prestige
Connect the power adapter to the port labeled POWER on the rear panel of your Prestige.
Step 4. Connecting the Console Port
For the initial configuration of your Prestige, you need to use a terminal emulator software on a
workstation and connect it to the Prestige through the console port. Connect the 9-pin (smaller)
end of the console cable to the console port of the Prestige and the 25-pin (bigger) end to a serial
port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your workstation. You can use an extension RS-232
cable if the enclosed one is too short.
After the initial setup, you can also modify the configuration remotely through telnet connections.
See the chapter Telnet Configuration and Capabilities for detailed instructions on using telnet to
configure your Prestige.
2.3 Prestige Network Commander
You can also setup the Prestige using the Prestige Network Commander (PNC). The PNC is a
Windows-based tool that provides a quick and simple way to configure your Prestige. For more
information on installing PNC insert the PNC installation disc in the relevant drive of your
computer and follow the on-screen directions.
Note: You cannot access the PNC if you use the RS232 cable. You must use only the Ethernet
cable.
