Applications

The SpeedStream 2602 by Siemens provides many advanced features and functionality:

•LAN Access – The SpeedStream 2602 provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

•Internet Access – This device supports Internet access through an xDS or cable connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the SpeedStream 2602 includes a built-in PPPoE client, eliminating the need to install this service on your computer.

•Shared IP Address – The SpeedStream 2602 provides Internet access for up to 253 users with a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.

•Virtual Server – Virtual Server allows Internet users to access Web, FTP, and other servers on your LAN from remote locations.

•User-Definable Application-Sensing Tunnel – You can define special applications that require multiple connections such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. The SpeedStream 2602 will then sense the application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it.

•DMZ Host Support – The SpeedStream 2602 allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when the special application-sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.

•Security – The SpeedStream 2602 supports security features that can deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services the administrator does not want to serve. The SpeedStream 2602’s firewall can also 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.

•Virtual Private Network – The SpeedStream 2602 supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols: PPTP, L2TP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, any of these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet. The VPN protocols supported by the SpeedStream 2602 are briefly described below:

-Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.

-Layer Two Tunneling Protocol includes most of the features provided by PPTP, but has less overhead and is more suited for managed networks.

-IP Security provides IP network-layer encryption and can support large encryption networks, such as the Internet, by using digital certificates for device authentication.

Description of Hardware

You can connect the SpeedStream 2602 DSL/Cable Router to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ45 WAN port. You can connect it directly to your computer or to a local area network using either of the two Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

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.

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 2602, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.

The SpeedStream 2602 provides an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indicators, simplifying installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides two RJ-45 LAN ports on the front panel and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel:

•(2) RJ-45 LAN ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). 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 networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

•(1) RJ-45 WAN port for connection to an xDSL or cable modem. This port is fixed at 10 Mbps full-

2-1

duplex and only supports MDI-X pin signals. Consequently, you will have to use either a straightthrough or crossover cable, depending on the port type used with the modem.
