P841 VDSL Modem Syntax Conventions in this Guide The Prestige 841 Modem may be called the P841 or the Prestige in this guide. About Your Prestige The Prestige is a high-performance cost-effective VDSL (Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line) modem. Your Prestige can access the Internet/LAN via a telephone line. The Prestige supports multi-rate data transmission speeds of up to 16.67 Mbps upstream and downstream. The actual rate depends on the copper category of your telephone wires, distance from the central office and the type of VDSL service you subscribe to. Its 10/100M auto-negotiating LAN interface enables fast data transfer of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps in half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network. See the following section for more background information on VDSL. Your Prestige is easy to install. You do not need to set any switches to configure it. About VDSL VDSL is the next generation of DSL technology that offers a much higher bandwidth than most DSL technologies. VDSL is the only feasible solution for bandwidth-demanding and video-rich applications such as video-on-demand, high definition television, tele-medicine, surveillance systems and other switched video services. VDSL supports both symmetric and asymmetric applications using existing copper wire (telephone wire) and therefore saving the cost of using traditional T1/E1 service for small/medium-sized business and residential users.
