CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the SpeedStream 2614 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 2614

The SpeedStream 2614 provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The most outstanding feature of the SpeedStream 2614 is the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or cable modem, or an ISDN TA or PSTN analog modem. The SpeedStream 2614 provides extensive firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also provides print services for any client attached to a LAN port.

The SpeedStream 2614 supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN service, automatically connecting to the Internet when there are requests, and terminating the connection when no further requests occur. This dual- port design also supports fail-over Internet access through the secondary WAN port, which enables the serial port to be used for primary or backup Internet access.

This new SpeedStream 2614 technology provides many cost-effective functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure, and can be up and running in minutes.
