Introduction
About the 5260 LAN Modem
The SpeedStream 5260 ADSL LAN modem provides high-speed
connectivity between a local Ethernet network segment and an
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) segment.
The ADSL segment provides for a single Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) permanent virtual circuit (PVC) used for connectivity to Wide
Area Network (WAN) devices.
The 5260 is designed to “plug and play.” Setup of the 5260 is as simple as
connecting it to a PC that is equipped with an Ethernet adapter card or to a
hub on an Ethernet LAN and then connecting it to a DSL wall jack.
ADSL Data Rate Support
The 5260 uses Discrete Multi Tone (DMT) data transmission technology.
When the unit is powered on, it will connect to your service provider.
Once this connection is established, the unit will negotiate the highest
possible data rate. This process is transparent to the user and rates
achieved are dependent upon the data rates supported by your service
provider.
What Systems are Supported?
The 5260 can be connected to any 10Base-T Ethernet networking device
such as a hub, PC, workstation, or laptop equipped with an Ethernet
network interface card (NIC). The 5260 also requires a telephone line that
supports ADSL.
