Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the Gateway's features and capabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new SpeedStream SS6000 Series Wireless DSL Gateway
(“Gateway”). The Gateway is a multi-function device providing the following services:
Built-in DSL Modem
provides shared Internet access for multiple users.
Five-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch
for 10Base-T or 100Base-T connections.
Custom Controls
that allow you to configure the SpeedStream DSL Gateway to best meet your
specific security and Internet-sharing needs.
802.11 Wireless Expansion Slot
(Model 6200) that allows you to add a wireless interface. Your unit
may include a wireless card. If it does not, contact your Internet Service Provider for details and
availability of expansion cards.
Built-in Wireless Interface
(
Model 6300) that provides a wireless interface built into the unit. (If you
attempt to access or alter the unit components, any warranties may be voided.)
Features of the Wireless DSL Gateway
The SpeedStream SS6000 Series Gateways incorporate many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Network (LAN) Features
1.
Five-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch
The SpeedStream Gateway incorporates a five-port 10/100 Ethernet switch, making it easy to create
or extend your network. Optionally, you can configure the fifth port as a WAN port for connection of
another broadband device.
2.
DHCP Server Support
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a dynamic, “upon request,” IP address to
computers and other networked devices. Your SpeedStream Gateway can act as a
DHCP Server
for
devices on your local network.
3.
Network Status and Statistics
Using these diagnostic tools, you can easily monitor the status of each network connection and
evaluate network performance.

Security Features
24.
Password-protected Configuration
Password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the Gateway’s
configuration data and settings.
25.
NAT Protection
An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all
your network users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each computer
is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the SpeedStream
DSL Gateway.
26.
Stateful Inspection Firewall
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting
your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
27.
DoS Attack Protection
DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid data packets and
connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes
unavailable. The DSL Gateway incorporates protection against DoS attacks as well as other common
hacker attacks.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup
Use your Web browser for quick and easy configuration.
UPnP Support
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the SpeedStream
Gateway. UPnP is by supported by Windows Me, XP, or later operating systems.
Advanced Gateway Functions
DMZ
One computer on your local network can be configured to allow unrestricted two-way communication
with servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs that are
incompatible with firewalls.
Firewall “Snooze”
Temporarily disable firewall protection to limit interference with games and other applications
incompatible with firewalls.
Content Filter
Use the Content Filter to block user access to undesirable Web sites.
Time of Day Use Restrictions
Limit the time of day during which individual users have access to the Internet.
Advanced Wireless Controls
The SpeedStream 6300 model has a built-in wireless interface, and the 6200 model offers an
