Prestige 650 ADSL Router
xviii Preface
Preface
Congratulations on your purchase of the Prestige 650 ADSL Internet Access Router.
There are two Prestige 650 models, one for ADSL over POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) and one for
ADSL over ISDN (Integrated Synchronous Digital System). Both models are discussed together in this
guide.
The P650 ADSL router can run maximum upstream transmission rates of up to 832Kbps and maximum
downstream transmission rates of 8Mbps. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone
wire, distance from the central office and the type of ADSL service subscribed to. See the What is DSL
section for more background information on DSL and ADSL.
The P650's 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or
100Mbps in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Your Prestige is easy to install and configure. All functions of the Prestige are software configurable via the
SMT (System Management Terminal) and web configurator. Advanced users may configure the Prestige
using CLI (Command Line Interface) commands.
Don’t forget to register your Prestige (fast, easy online registration at
www.zyxel.com) for free future product updates and information.
