Getting To Know Your Prestige
This chapter describes the key features and applications of your Prestige.
1.1 Introducing the Prestige
Your Prestige integrates a high-speed 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating LAN interface and a high-
speed ADSL port into a single package. The Prestige is an ADSL Ethernet Gateway
compatible with the ADSL/ADSL2/ADSL2+ standards. It allows super-fast, secure Internet
access over the analog (POTS) or digital (ISDN) telephone line (depending on your model).
Maximum data rates attainable by the Prestige for each standard are shown in the next table.
Table 1 ADSL Standards
DATA RATE STANDARD UPSTREAM DOWNSTREAM
ADSL 832 kbps 8Mbps
ADSL2 3.5Mbps 12Mbps
ADSL2+ 3.5Mbps 24Mbps
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.
Models ending in "1", for example P-660R-T1, 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 Synchronous Digital System). 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 web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides easy management.
