Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
You may position the Siemens broadband router at any convenient location where it will be well ventilated. Do
not stack it with other devices or place it on the carpet. You can connect the router to an existing Ethernet port
on your computer.
To connect the SpeedStream device via the Ethernet interface, your
computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network
interface card, or NIC) installed. If your computer does not have this
adapter, install it before proceeding further. Refer to your Ethernet
adapter documentation for complete installation instructions. Once you
verify installation of an Ethernet adapter, perform the following
procedure to connect the router to your computer.
To set up the harware connections:
1. With the PC powered off, connect the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the router.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PC.
3. Connect your router’s WAN port to the DSL phone jack using the remaining RJ-45 cable. To reduce the
risk of fire, use only 26 AWG gauge telecommunication cord.
4. Connect the power adapter to the rear of the router.
5. Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.
6. Flip the power switch on the router.
7. Power on all connected computers.
You can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the PC Configuration

Configuring the Router
The Siemens Business Class Router family of products provides two user interfaces: a Web Management
Interface and a console-based Command Line Interface (CLI). The Web Management Interface uses an HTTP
server housed in the router. Using this server, you can connect to and manage the router using your Web
browser. The Web Management Interface is accessible through most HTML browsers, though Internet
Explorer 4.0 or Netscape 4.0 and higher are recommended. Refer to the Technical Reference Guide for details
on managing the router through the CLI.
Establish Connection
To establish a connection from your computer to the router through your Web browser:
1. Open your Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator Web browser.
2. In the Address bar, enter the default router IP address: 192.168.254.254. This displays the Login Dialog
page.
3. Enter the administrative User name and Password. The default settings are User name: superuser and
Password: admin. This displays the Router Information page.

Chapter 3 Easy Setup
This chapter describes how to define router configuration settings using the Easy Setup Wizard. These
settings control access to the Wide Area Network (WAN) and Local Area Network (LAN). During the Easy
Setup procedure, you will be prompted to specify configuration parameters that may require information from
your service provider.
Access Easy Setup Wizard
To access the Easy Setup Wizard, click Easy Setup in the left navigation pane of the Router Information
window. This wizard will walk you through the configuration screens necessary to setup the router. You can
exit the Easy Setup Wizard at anytime by clicking Cancel on the bottom of the configuration page. If the wizard
is cancelled, no changes will be made and you will need to begin again.
Select Protocol
When you click Easy Setup in the left navigation
pane of the Router Information page, the WAN
Interface page is displayed. This page is used to
enter and review information about Wide Area
Network (WAN) settings.
To configure the WAN interface:
1. In Data PVC, enter the ATM Permanent Virtual
Circuit (PVC) information: VPI / VCI.
2. From the Wan Protocol list, select the protocol
to use for the WAN connection.
3. Click Next to continue. This displays the page
required to configure the selected protocol. In
the list below, click on the protocol you
selected to jump to the appropriate page.
• Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (VC
Multiplexing)
• Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (LLC
Encapsulation)
• Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet over PPPoA
• Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet over RFC1483
• RFC 1483 (Multiprotocol Encapsulation LLC/SNAP)
• RFC 1483 (VC Multiplexing Routed)

to-Point Protocol page is displayed when you click Next.
To configure Point-to-Point Protocol:
1. Enter PPP User Name and Password to use for authentication when establishing a WAN connection using
PPP protocol.
2. Select one or more of the following PPP Networking options:
• Bridging Enabled:
Forward all traffic for remote hosts that is not routed to the WAN (non-IP). If bridging is enabled, you can
optionally select Only bridge PPPoE traffic. If selected, only PPPoE traffic is bridged; all other traffic is
stopped.
3. IP Routing Enabled:
Route all IP traffic to remote hosts.
4. If you enabled IP routing, select one of the following methods for configuring IP routing:
• Obtain configuration automatically from WAN
IP routing parameters are obtained from the WAN.
• Configure IP Routing manually
IP routing parameters are set manually. If you select this options, you must provide the Source WAN IP
Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.

5. If you enabled IP routing, optionally select one or more of the following:
• NAT Enabled:
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple workstations on your LAN to share a single, public
IP address. All outgoing traffic appears to originate from the router’s IP address.
• Block Net BIOS Traffic:
NetBIOS is a PC networking protocol that can keep network connections open inadvertently. To avoid
excess connection charges, such traffic should be blocked on any metered network service.
