Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Introducing the Prestige
The Prestige P2602R ADSL VoIP IAD (Integrated Access Device) combines high-speed
ADSL Internet access and Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities. They allow you
to use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls. By integrating DSL and NAT, the
Prestige provides ease of installation and Internet access. The Prestige is also a complete
security solution with a robust firewall and content filtering.
Models ending in “1”, for example P2602R-61, denote a device that works over the analog
telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). Models ending in “3” denote a device
that works over ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). Models ending in “7” denote a
device that works over T-ISDN (UR-2).
Note: Only use firmware for your Prestige’s specific model. Refer to the label on the
bottom of your Prestige.
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.

distance from your ISP, line quality, etc.
