Internet Access With Zero
Configration
With the Prestige’s Zero Configuration, you can access the Internet easily. Simply
connect a computer to the Prestige and access the Internet without changing the network
settings (such as the IP address and subnet mask) of the computer.
Step 1.
Make the hardware connections and turn on the Prestige (refer to the
Rear
Panel Connections
section).
Step 2.
Wait until the
DSL/PPP
LED turns steady on.
Launch your web browser
and navigate to a web site (for example,
www.zyxel.com
). The Prestige
automatically detects and configures your Internet connection. This may
take about two minutes.
Step 3.
If you have a PPPoE or PPPoA connection type, a screen displays
prompting you to enter your Internet account username and/or password.
Enter the username, password and/or service name exactly as provided by
your ISP. Click
Apply
.
You should be able to access the Internet.
Otherwise, follow the on-screen instructions
to solve the problem(s). Refer to the rest of this guide or the
User’s Guide
to manually
configure your Prestige for Internet connection and other advanced settings.
