Hardware Installation

you power cycle the P964, the next connection process will be faster.

2.5

Network Configuration of Your Computer

You must have a network interface card installed on your computer and configure the TCP/IP protocol stack

properly. For Windows® 95/98/NT/2000, please configure your computer as a DHCP client. The IP address

identifies the computer on the network and enables the headend CMTS to route data to and from your

computer.

For Windows

®

95/98, you can use the following command to verify the TCP/IP configuration.

Winipcfg

For Windows

®

NT/2000/XP, you can use the following command.

Ipconfig

2.6

Router Configuration

You do not need to ask your cable company for a special configuration. The Prestige can act as a DHCP client

to acquire an IP address from the headend. Besides, it can act as a DHCP server at the LAN port and assign an

IP address to your computers on the LAN subnet. What you have to do is to configure the LAN port with the

proper IP address and netmask. If you already have a DHCP server on your LAN subnet, you can disable the

DHCP server in the Prestige but you have to assign an IP address/netmask for the LAN port.

2.7

Power On Your Prestige

At this point, you should have connected at least one of the LAN ports and/or USB port, the cable port and the

power port to the appropriate devices or lines. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.

When connected, it is powered on, the Prestige executes an automatic installation procedure:

1.

Scans and locks on to the service provider’s downstream frequency.

2.

Obtains timing, signal, power level, authentication, addressing, and other operational parameters from

the headend CMTS.

3.

Downloads its configuration file and is then operational.

During the initialization, the LEDs on the Prestige turns on:

1.

The Power LED should be ON.

2.

The CABLE LED will be flashing on a 2 seconds on/off cyclic duration while scanning the downstream

channel and then on a 1 second on/off cyclic duration when it has locked on to a downstream channel

and is communicating with the headend CMTS. Once the cable connection is complete it will remain

ON.

3.

The DATA LED flashes when the cable downstream, cable upstream is receiving and transmitting data.

It will turn OFF when the connection is idle.

4.

The LAN1 to LAN5 or USB LEDs (depending on the port connected) will be ON if Ethernet/USB link

is successful and flashing while sending/receiving data.
