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.

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

Enable Firewall Protection

From the Advanced Setup | Firewall screen, you can enable the SpeedStream 2614 firewall to block
common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf
Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not
significantly affect system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your network users.

Enable Virtual Server

From the Advanced Setup s creen, you can enab le Virtual Server . If you co nfigure t he SpeedSt ream 2614 as
a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP
addresses can be a utomati call y redi rec ted t o local serve rs con figur ed with priva te IP a ddr esses. Dependin g
on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the SpeedStream 2614 redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server located at another internal IP address.

To use the Virtual Server, the WAN interface must have a fixed IP address. Some of the more common
TCP service ports include HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23 and POP3: 110.

Figure 3-5. Advanced Setup | Virtual Server

1. Specify the Private IP, Private Port, Type, and Public Port information.

information.

4. Click Copy to to enter that information in the Public Port boxes on the designated line.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Address Translation, or NAT, is automatically enabled when you enable multi-user Internet
access or en able the Virtual Server function. NAT provides multiple users with access to the Intern et via a
single user account, or maps the local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public address.
This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by
allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

Configure Special Applications

Use the Advanced Setup menu to configure applications that require multiple connections, such as
Internet games, video-conferencing, and Internet telephony. These applications may not work when
Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple
connections, use the following screen to specify the additional public ports to be opened for each
application.

If an application still cannot function correctly after enabling multiple ports via the Special Application
screen, you may need to use the Virtual DMZ Host option to open the client computer for full Internet
access. (Refer to the “Miscellaneous Services” section for instructions.)

Configure Client Filtering

You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP address, application type (i.e., HTTP port), and
time of day.

For example, the following screen indicates that clients in the address range 192.168.254.50 to

192.168.254.99 are permanently restricted from using FTP (port 21), while clients in the address range

192.168.254.110 to 192.168.254.119 are blocked from browsing the Internet from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,

ROUBLESHOOTING

This section describes common problems you may encounter and their possible solutions. Use the panel
indicators to monitor and identify problems with the SpeedStream 2614. If you cannot resolve any
connection problems after checking the indicators, refer to the following table.

Symptom Action

LED Indicators

Power LED is Off

Link LED is Off

• External power supply has failed or is disconnected.

• Check connections between the SpeedStream 2614, the external power supply, and
the wall outlet.

• If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may
have a problem with the power outlet, powe r cord, or external power supply.

• If the unit powers off af ter running for a while, check for loose power conne ctions,
power losses or surges at the power outlet.

• If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the external power supply may be
defective. In this case, contact Siemens Technical Support for assistance.

• Verify that the SpeedStream 2614 and attached device are powered on.

• Be sure the cable is plugged into both the SpeedStream 2614 and the corresponding
device.

• Verify that the proper ca ble type is used and that its length doe s not exc eed th e
specified limits.

• Be sure that the network interface on the attached device is configured for the proper
communication speed and duplex mode.

• Check the adapter on the attached device and cable connections for possible defects.
Replace any defective adapter or cable if necessary.

Network Connection Problems

Cannot ping the
SpeedStream 2614
from the attached
LAN, or the
SpeedStream 2614
cannot ping any
device on the attached
LAN

Management Problems

Cannot connect using
the Web browser

Forgot or lost the
password

• Verify that the IP addresses are properly configured. For most applications, you
should use the SpeedStream 2614 DHCP function to dynamically assign IP addresses
to any host on the attached LAN. However, if you manu ally configure any IP
addresses on the LAN, verify that the same network address (network component of
the IP address) and subnet mask are used for both the SpeedStream 2614 and any
attached LAN device s .

• Be sure the device you want to ping (or from which you are pinging) has been
configured fo r TCP/IP.

• Be sure you configure d the Spe edStre a m 2614 with a valid IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway.

• Check that you have a valid network connection to the SpeedStream 2614 and that the
port you are using has not been disabled.

• Check the network cabling be tween the management station and the SpeedStream

2614.

• Press the Reset button on the front panel (holding it down for at least five seconds) to
restore the factory defaults.

Table B-1. Cable Types and Specifications

Twisted-pair Cable

Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with

RJ-45 connectors that conform with FCC standards.

For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire
pair is identified by two different colors. An RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Except for the WAN port, all RJ-45 ports on the SpeedStream 2614 support automatic MDI/MDI-X
configuration, so you can use straight-through cable to attach the LAN ports to any network device.
However, when connecting the WAN port to a broadband modem, you will need to use either straight­through or crossover cable, depending on the port type used on the modem.

The figure below il lustr ates h ow the pi n numberi ng on the RJ-4 5 connec tor. Be sure to hold the connectors
in the same orientation when attachi ng the wires to the pins.

All LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2614 support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration. This means that
the pin signals in use will depend on whether the LAN port is operating in MDI or MDI-X mode. The
WAN port is configured only for MDI-X mode.
