Hardware Installation
You may position the Siemens broadband router at any convenient location where it will be well ventilated. Do
not stack it with other devices or place it on the carpet. You can connect the router to an existing Ethernet port
on your computer.
To connect the SpeedStream device via the Ethernet interface, your
computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network
interface card, or NIC) installed. If your computer does not have this
adapter, install it before proceeding further. Refer to your Ethernet
adapter documentation for complete installation instructions. Once you
verify installation of an Ethernet adapter, perform the following
procedure to connect the router to your computer.
1. With the PC powered off, connect the Ethernet cable to an
Ethernet port on the router.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
port on the PC.
3. Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the
DSL port on the rear of the router. To reduce the risk of fire,
use only 26 AWG gauge telecommunication cord to
connect your DSL port on your router to a DSL telephone
jack.
4. Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack.
5. Connect the power adapter to the rear of the router.
6. Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.
7. Flip the power switch on the router.
8. Power on all connected computers.
You can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the
PC Configuration
section.
