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.
•
Chapter 4, “Installing and Configuring TCP/IP” to install and configure the TCP/IP protocol on network
computers.

Description of Hardware
You can connect the SpeedStream 2602 DSL/Cable Router to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-
45 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 straight-
through 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-

duplex and only supports MDI-X pin signals. Consequently, you will have to use either a straight-
through or crossover cable, depending on the port type used with the 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 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-to-
Ethernet converter.
•
TCP/IP network protocol installed on each computer that needs to access the Internet.
•
A Java-enabled Web browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape
Communicator 4.0 or above) installed on your host computer.
Hardware Installation
Before Starting
Please collect the following information from your ISP before setting up the SpeedStream 2602:
•
An ISP account which includes ISP user name and password.
•
IP address for your ISP’s Gateway Server and Domain Name Server.
•
ISP authentication type or script (if not PAP/CHAP).
•
IP Address and Subnet mask (for fixed IP users only).
You can position the SpeedStream 2602 at any convenient location in your office or home. No special
wiring or cooling requirements are needed. You should, however, comply with the following guidelines:
•
Keep the SpeedStream 2602 away from any heating devices.
•
Do not place the SpeedStream 2602 in a dusty or wet environment.
Installation Procedure
1.
Power off all equipment.
Before installing the SpeedStream 2602,
turn off the power
on your
computer and DSL/cable modem. You can leave the modem connected to its phone line or cable outlet.
2.
Connect the LAN.
Connect the SpeedStream 2602 LAN port to your computer, or to a hub or switch.
Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2602 to your computer’s network

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 full-
duplex. The LAN ports also support auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/MDI-X), allowing
you to use straight-through cable to connect the SpeedStream 2602 to any network device. (See
Appendix B, “Cables” for details on wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect either of the two LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2602 to an Ethernet
adapter on your computer. You can also cascade the LAN ports on the SpeedStream 2602 to an
Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect your computer or other network equipment to the hub or
switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure proper
seating.
Note:
Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
3.
Connect the WAN.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the
SpeedStream 2602 to a cable or xDSL modem
or Ethernet router

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. Check the Power indicator on the front panel to be sure it is on. If the Power indicator does not
light up
, refer to Appendix A, “Troubleshooting
.”
5.
Verify the port status.
Confirm that all connections are successful by checking the
power and port
status indicators as shown in the following table
.
