Filters are not required for your Prestige to function properly. However, input and output filter
sets may be useful to block certain packets, reduce traffic, and prevent a security breach on
your Ethernet.

If you have a need for filters, read about

Chapter 7 - Filter Set Configuration,

then return to

this menu to define the appropriate filter sets.

3.2 TCP/IP Ethernet and DHCP Setup

3.2.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask

The Prestige is pre-configured in the factory with an IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0 (Class C). This setup should work fine for the basic Internet access
application. It is strongly recommend that you do not change them, unless your ISP or
network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses.
