parity, one stop bit and flow control set to none. The password will also be reset to “1234” and
the IP address to 192.168.1.1.
To upload the configuration file, do the following:
1
Connect to the console port using a computer with terminal emulation software. See
Section 3.1.1 on page 35
for details.
2
Disconnect and reconnect the Prestige’s power to begin a session. When you reconnect
the Prestige’s power, you will see the initial screen.

Press any key to enter Debug Mode within 3
seconds ...
” press any key to enter debug mode.

” message.
