CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router. Siemens is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. About the SpeedStream 2614 The SpeedStream 2614 provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account.
Applications The SpeedStream 2614 by Siemens provides many advanced features and functionality: • LAN Access – The SpeedStream 2614 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 xDSL, cable, ISDN or PSTN connection.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE SPEEDSTREAM 2614 Before installing the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents,” and that you have all the necessary cabling. If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact Technical Support (see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting”). After installing the SpeedStream 2614, refer to the subsequent chapters for additional instructions: • Chapter 3, “Configuring the SpeedStream 2614” to configure the router settings.
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.
System Requirements You must have access to a network that meets the following minimum requirements: • Internet access from your local telephone 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.
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.
If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or cable modem, use unshielded or shielded twistedpair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the SpeedStream 2614. Use either straight-through or crossover cable depending on the port type provided by the modem (see Appendix B, “Cables”). For ISDN or PSTN service, attach the access device to the RS232 serial port on the SpeedStream 2614 4. Connect a printer.
7. Configure the SpeedStream 2614. Configure the SpeedStream 2614 as detailed in Chapter 3, “Configuring the SpeedStream 2614.”. 8. Configure TCP/IP. Configure the TCP/IP protocol on your network computers as detailed in Chapter 4, “Configuring Client TCP/IP.” If TCP/IP is not on your system, this chapter also includes installation instructions. 9. Install the Printer Port Monitor and configure printer services.
CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURING THE SPEEDSTREAM 2614 Before you can configure the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router, the TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all computers on your network. If you need to install TCP/IP, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing and Configuring TCP/IP.” After TCP/IP is installed and configured on your network computers, you can configure the SpeedStream 2614 from any Java-supported Web browser, including Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 4.0 or above.

Security Log Displays any illegal attempts to access your network.
2. On the Simple Setup menu, click Set Time Zone. 3. On the Set Time Zone screen, select the correct time zone in the drop-down list box. 4. Click Enter to save the setting and continue. Configure the WAN Connection You must specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP): • Dynamic IP Address - IP address is obtained automatically. • Static IP Address - Your ISP has assigned you a static (or fixed) IP address.
Static IP Address (Fixed IP) If your selected Static IP Address as your WAN connection type, the Simple Setup | WAN | Fixed IP screen displays when you click More Configuration. 1. In the IP address assigned by your ISP boxes, enter your IP address. 2. In the Subnet Mask boxes, enter the subnet mask for the SpeedStream 2614: 255, 255, 255, 0 3. In the ISP Gateway Address boxes, enter the gateway address of your ISP.
fill in the relevant fields under Secondary Dial-up. Figure 3-3. Simple Setup | WAN | Dial-up Modem 1. In the Check if you only use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet checkbox, click to select it if the serial port is used for primary Internet access. If not selected, this connection will only be used for backup access if the primary WAN link fails. 2. In the Dial-Up Service Phone Number boxes, enter the access phone numbers provided by your ISP. 3.
address for you to use, select Yes and enter the designated IP address and subnet mask. Advanced Setup Procedures After completing the Simple Setup menu options, you will next move to the Advanced Setup options. You may also go directly to any of these screens by clicking that option on the main menu.
