Installation

 

The SpeedStream Gateway provides ports for either a USB or an Ethernet connection to your primary 
computer. Select the interface you will use to connect the Gateway, and follow the step-by-step 
instructions below for your chosen installation method.  

To connect the SpeedStream Gateway 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. 

1)  With your computer powered off, connect the Ethernet 

cable to an Ethernet port (1-4) on the Gateway. 

2)  Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the 

Ethernet port on your computer. 

3)  If desired, use standard 10/100 CAT5 Ethernet cables 

to connect additional computers to the remaining 
Ethernet ports on the Gateway.  

1)  Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the DSL port on the Gateway. 

2)  Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack. 

1)  Connect the power adapter to the rear of the Gateway. 

2)  Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet. 

3)  Flip the power switch to power on the SpeedStream Gateway.  

4)  Power on all connected computers. 

1)  For each active Ethernet connection, the LAN Link LED for the corresponding port number 

should be lit.  

2)  The DSL and Power LEDs should be lit. (For more information, refer to the 

 section in 

Chapter 1.) 

When using the Ethernet installation method, you do not have to install any software. Refer to your 
Internet Service Provider’s instructions for installing their software and/or connecting to the Internet. You 
can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the next chapter.
