Internet Access Using P660M
If the ISP limits some specific computers to access Internet, that means
only the traffic to/from these computers will be
forwarded and the other will be filtered. In this case, we use P660 which works as an
ADSL bridge modem to connect to the ISP. The ISP will generally give one Internet account and limit only one computer to access the
Internet. See the figure below for this setup.

To connect your computer to the Prestige's LAN port, the computer must have an Ethernet adapter card installed.

To manage the P660 by Telnet. You have to configure the computer with the same subnet as the LAN interface of P660. The default IP address for LAN interface of P660 is 192.168.1.1.
