Prestige 661H/HW Series Quick Start Guide

1 DSL: Connect the Prestige to a telephone jack using a telephone wire.

2 LAN: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN 10/100M port for initial configuration and/or

Internet access.

3 POWER: Use the included power adaptor to connect the POWER socket to an appropriate power source

(see the User’s Guide for power adaptors specifications by region).

After you’ve made the connections, push in the power button to turn on the Prestige. Look at the front panel

LEDs. The PWR/SYS LED blinks while performing system testing. The PWR/SYS and/or WLAN LEDs then turn steady on if the testing is successful. The LAN LEDs turn on if the (corresponding) LAN ports are properly connected.

2 Configuration for Internet Access

You may configure the Prestige for Internet access in any one of these ways:

• Configuration Genie

• Zero Configuration

Web Configurator Internet Access Wizard

If you have a PPPoE or PPPoA connection, a screen displays prompting you to enter your

Internet account information. Enter the username, password and/or service name exactly as provided. Click

Apply.

Note: Configuration Genie or Zero Configuration are only able to configure the device automatically for

Internet access if you are using PPPoE, PPPoA or ENET ENCAP encapsulation with a dynamically-assigned IP address from your ISP.

If you’re not using these Internet access settings, then use the Web Configurator Internet

Access Wizard to manually configure the device.

3.1 OTIST

Configure this screen only if you have OTIST-aware wireless clients. OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security

Technology) allows you to transfer your Prestige’s SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA-PSK key for you if you didn’t configure one manually.

Click Advanced Setup, Wireless LAN and then click OTIST. To change the Setup key enter up to eight printable characters. To have OTIST automatically generate a WPA-PSK key select the Yes check box.

Setup Key as your Prestige’s and click Save.

Note: You must click Start in the Prestige OTIST web configurator screen and in the wireless client(s)

Adapter screen all within three minutes (at the time or writing). You can start OTIST in the wireless clients and Prestige in any order but they must all be within range and with OTIST enabled.

7 Troubleshooting

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION

None of the LEDs turn on when you connect the Prestige’s power.

Make sure that you have the correct power adaptor connected to the Prestige, it is plugged into an appropriate power source and the Prestige is turned on.

Check all cable connections. If the LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.

Cannot access the Prestige from my computer.

Check the cable connection from your computer to the Prestige.

Make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the Prestige’s

IP address (see Section 7.1 on page 12 ).

Ping the Prestige from a computer on the LAN. Make sure your computer’s

Ethernet adapter is installed and functioning properly. In the computer, click

Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the

Command Prompt window, type "ping" followed by the Prestige’s LAN IP address (192.168.1.1 is the default) and then press [ENTER]. The Prestige

should reply; otherwise see Section 7.1 on page 12 .

Cannot access the Internet.

If the Prestige’s IP address has changed, then enter the new one as the URL.

Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later or Netscape Navigator 7.0 and later with

JavaScript enabled.

Make sure you enter the password correctly (the field is case sensitive).

If you’ve forgotten the Prestige’s password, use the RESET button. Press the button in for about 10 seconds (or until the PWR/SYS LED starts to blink), then release it. It returns the Prestige to the factory defaults (password is 1234, LAN

IP address 192.168.1.1 etc.; see your User’s Guide for details).

Verify the Internet connection settings in the wizard. Make sure you entered the correct user name and password if you are using PPPoE or PPPoA.

For wireless clients, check that both the Prestige 661HW and wireless client(s) are using the same SSID, channel and WEP or WPA-PSK keys (if configured).

7.1 Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address

This section shows you how to set your Windows NT/2000/XP computer to automatically get an IP address.

This ensures that your computer can connect with your Prestige. Refer to your User’s Guide for detailed IP address configuration for other Windows and Macintosh computer operating systems.

1 In Windows XP, click start, Control Panel. In Windows 2000/NT, click Start, Settings, Control Panel.

2 In Windows XP, click Network Connections. In Windows 2000/NT, click Network and Dial-up

Connections.
