Figure 3-11 Menu 3.1 - General Ethernet Setup

1. Ethernet Interface - The Prestige supports two types of Ethernet

connections, the AUI (15-pin) or the connection for the 10BaseT
network (looks like a bigger telephone plug). Determine which type
you are using and select the appropriate option in this field.

2. Input and Output Filter Sets - Filter sets are used to block

certain packets to reduce traffic and to prevent a security breach.
Filtering is a very involved subject, so leave these fields blank for
the time being. After you have studied filtering in Chapter 10, come
back and define the filter sets.

TCP/IP Ethernet Setup and DHCP

If you are setting up your network for the first time, read Chapter 4,
Configuring for Internet Access, before proceeding. The chapter
contains important information on how to assign IP addresses for your
network.

From Menu 3 - Ethernet Setup, enter 2 to go to Menu 3.2 - TCP/IP
