Applications

The SpeedStream 2614 by Siemens provides many advanced features and functionality:

•

LAN Access

create a network in small offices or homes.

•

Internet Access

connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communication s with end users, the SpeedStream 2614 includes a built-in PPPoE client, eliminating the need to install this service on your computer.

•

Shared IP Address

shared IP address. Using only one ISP acc ount, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.

•

Virtual Server

host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site via a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the SpeedStream 2614 can route the request to the appropriate server at another internal IP address. This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more fle xible management by allowing you to change inte rnal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

Description of Hardware

You can connect the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ45 WAN port or RS232 serial port. You can connect it directly to your computer or to a local area network using any of the four Fast Etherne t LAN port s. The SpeedStream 2614 can even function as a pri nt serv er.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. And PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the service and type of modem connected to your SpeedStream 2614, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports!

The SpeedStream 2614 includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indicators that simplify installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports on the front panel, and one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS232 serial port and one parallel printer port on the rear panel:

• (1) RS232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.

• (1) Parallel printer port that can be connected to a print er. This printer can then be shared by any LAN users.

• (4) RJ-45 LAN ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).

2-1

These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X, allowing these ports to be connected to any network device with straightthrough cable. The ports can be connected directly to a computer or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to a networkin g device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

• (1) RJ-45 WAN port for connection to an xDS L or cable modem. This port is fixed at 10 Mbps fullduplex and only supports MDI-X pin sign als. Consequently, you will have to use either a straightthrough or crossover cable, depend ing on the port type used with the modem.

System Requirements

You must have access to a network that meets the following minimum requirements:

• Internet access from your local telepho ne company or Internet Service Provider (ISP) using an xDSL modem, cable modem, ISDN TA, or PSTN analog modem. You may also have access over the telephone system to an analog modem at another site.

• A computer using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address assignment via DHCP, as well as a Gateway server address and DNS server address from your service provider.

• A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB -toEthernet converter.

• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer that needs to access the Internet.

• A Java-enabled Web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netsc ape Communicator 4.0 or above) installed on your host computer.

Hardware Installation

Before Starting

Please collect the following information from your ISP before setting up the SpeedStream 2614:

• An ISP account which includes ISP dial-up user name and password.

• ISP dial-up phone number.

• IP address for your ISP’s Gateway Serve r and Domain Name Server.

• ISP authentication type or script (if not PAP/CHAP).

• IP Address and Subnet mask (for fixed IP user s only).

You can position the SpeedStream 2614 at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with the following guidelines:

• Keep the SpeedStream 2614 away fro m any heating devices.

• Do not place the SpeedStream 2614 in a dusty or wet environment.

Installation Procedure

1. Power off all equipment. Before installing the SpeedStream 2614, turn off the power on your computer and DSL/cabl e modem. You can leave the modem c onnected to its phone line or c able outl et.

2. Connect the LAN. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2614 to your computer’s network adapter or to another network device.

Connect the SpeedStream 2614 LAN port to your computer, or to a hub or switch.

Figure 2-2. Connecting the SpeedStream 2614

Caution

Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the SpeedStream 2614. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

The four LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2614 can auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and can negotiate the transmission mode to half-duplex or fullduplex. The LAN ports also support auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/MDI-X), allowing you to use straight-through cable to connect the SpeedStream 2614 to any network device. (See Appendix B, “Cables” for details on wiring.)

Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2614 to an Ethernet adapter on your computer. You can also cascade any of the LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2614 to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your computer or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sur e th e tab on the plug cl ic ks int o posi t ion to ensur e pro per seating.

Note:

Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

3. Connect the WAN. Use an Ethernet cable to connect th e or Ethernet router; or use a serial

cable to connect the SpeedStream 2614 to an ISDN TA or PSTN

modem.
