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
Ethernet Setup.
