CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the SpeedStream 2602 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 2602 The SpeedStream 2602 provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The most outstanding feature of the SpeedStream 2602 is the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or cable modem.
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.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLING THE SPEEDSTREAM 2602 Before installing the SpeedStream 2602 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 2602, refer to the subsequent chapters for additional instructions: • Chapter 3, “Configuring the SpeedStream 2602” to configure the router settings.
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. Figure 2-1. SpeedStream 2602 DSL/Cable Router Item Description Reset Button Resets the power and restores the default factory settings. LEDs Power, WAN and LAN port status indicators. LAN Ports Fast Ethernet ports (RJ-45). Connect devices on your local area network to these ports (such as a computer, hub or switch).
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 or cable modem. • 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.
adapter or to another network device. Figure 2-2. LAN Connections Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the SpeedStream 2602. Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards. The two LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2602 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.
Figure 2-3. WAN Connection Use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the SpeedStream 2602. Use either straight-through or crossover cable depending on the port type provided by the modem (see Appendix B, “Cables”). 4. Connect the power adapter and power up the router, modem and network computers. Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the SpeedStream 2602, and plug the other end into a power outlet.
CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURING THE SPEEDSTREAM 2602 Before you can configure the SpeedStream 2602 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 2602 from any Java-supported Web browser, including Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, versions 4.0 or above.

Simple Setup Procedures The management interface will guide you through sequence of steps required to configure the SpeedStream 2602 for use with an ISDN TA or 56k, cable or DSL modem. As you click Enter on each screen to accept the settings you enter, the next screen in sequence will display. You can, of course, jump from one topic to another by simply clicking that topic in the main menu. • Change Password – Set or change the administrator password. • Set Time Zone – Select the local time zone.
To begin configuring your WAN connection: 1. From the main menu, click Simple Setup; then click WAN. 2. On the Simple Setup | WAN screen, click to select the correct connection type: Dynamic IP Address (DHCP), Static IP Address (Fixed), or PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). 3. Click More Configuration to provide the detailed configuration parameters for that type, as detailed in the next sections.
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. The SpeedStream 2602 DSL/Cable Router supports advanced functions including hacker attack protection, virtual servers, special applications configuration, virtual server, client filtering, and remote management. We highly recommend you keep the default settings.
Enable Firewall Protection From the Advanced Setup | Firewall screen, you can enable the SpeedStream 2602 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.
4. Tto enter that information in the Public Port boxes on the designated line, click Copy to. Network Address Translation (NAT) Network Address Translation, or NAT, is automatically enabled when you enable multi-user Internet access or enable the Virtual Server function. NAT provides multiple users with access to the Internet via a single user account, or maps the local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public address.
information. 4. Click Copy to to enter that information in the Public Port boxes on the designated line. 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.
Caution: If you specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage the SpeedStream 2602. • IP Address of Virtual DMZ Host – You may encounter a client PC that cannot properly run Internet applications from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function. This feature allows you to open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host.
Set the Time Zone The time zone setting is used for log entries and client filtering. 1. On the main menu, click Tools; then click Set Time Zone. 2.
