Introduction

About the 5600 Series Router

The SpeedStream 5600 Ethernet to DSL router provides ATM-based
network access for home users, telecommuters, or remote offices over
existing telephone lines.

Through its Ethernet and DSL ports located on the back of the router, the
5600 provides local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN)
connectivity. The router connects to the LAN through its Ethernet port and
connects to the WAN through its DSL port.

Although the 5600 is referred to in this manual primarily as a router, it
can be used as either a router or a bridge. Instructions for changing from
router mode to bridge mode are included on page 18.

About this Installa ti on Guide

This manual provides all the inform ation necessary to install and co nfigure
the router, as well as details on using the various user interfaces available
on the router.

Installation Requirements

To use the 5600 router, you will need the following:

• A computer equipped with an Ethernet network interface card OR an

Ethernet hub

• A DSL-ready telephone line

• If you want to configure the router via the serial port, you will need a

computer that has terminal emulation software such as Microsoft
HyperTerminal
