Minimum System Requirements

Router User’s Guide

Introduction

•Virtual Private Network

Virtual Private Network allows remote users to establish a secure connection to a corporate network by setting pass-through of the three most commonly used VPN protocols: PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.

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 Router. UPnP is supported by Windows Me, XP, or later, operating systems.

Advanced Router 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.

•Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding provides flexibility by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.

•Session Tracking

Some protocols, such as FTP, require secondary network connections on ports other than the main control port. These connections are usually made using port numbers in the dynamic range (> 1024). The firewall allows traffic on secondary sessions without manual configuration.

At a minimum, your computer must be equipped with the following to successfully install the Router. Your Internet Service Provider may have additional requirements for use of their service.

•Ethernet connection method

−A network interface card (NIC) that supports Ethernet 10/100Base-T full-/half-duplex.

−Operating system that supports TCP/IP.

−Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator versions 5.0 or later.

•USB connection method

−32 MB RAM

−Pentium-compatible 166 MHz processor (or faster).

−12 MB available hard disk space.

−Windows 98 or later operating system.

General Safety Guidelines

When using the SpeedStream Router, observe the following safety guidelines:

•Never install telephone wiring during a storm.

•Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. Lightening increases the risk of electrical shock.

•Do not install telephone jacks in wet locations and never use the product near water.

•Do not exceed the maximum power load ratings for the product.
