Efficient Speedstream 5360

What is the SpeedStream 5360?

The SpeedStream 5360 is a DSL Modem/bridge similar to a SpeedStream 5260. It claims to be an "improved" version. The only noticeable differences seen on the Spec Sheet is the addition of Multi-mode to the ADSL supported standards and up to 16 ATM virtual circuits.

Lights for a SpeadStream 5360

What connection ports does the 5360 offer?

The 5260 has one RJ11 port for the ADSL Line and one RJ45 port for the 10 MBps Ethernet connection.

Do I need any other hardware/software to use the 5360?

For a true "Bridged" connection (which LOCL .net provides), no additional software is necessary.

What does it mean when the pwr light is steady but all other lights flash?

This usually indicates a catastrophic failure of the modem. The quickest way to diagnose this problem is to unplug the Ethernet and ADSL connections and cycle the power. When the modem comes back on if, after a short diagnostic period (2 - 3 seconds), the lights continue to behave in this manner, you most likely have an unusable modem. The only known solution is to replace it. Apparently an incompatibility between the Enternet 300 software (at least version 1.5b) and the SpeedStream 5360 causes it to enter this catatonic state. Enternet functions known to trigger this problem include:

• Attempting to change the VCI/VPI settings with the Enternet software.
• Using the Enternet feature to "discover" the VCI/VPI settings of the modem.

Why can't I get a green 'enet' light?

First, make sure the ethernet cable is connected to the RJ45 jack on the modem. Try swapping cables if you can't verify it is a good cable. The two most common reasons for no Ethernet link (enet) light:

1. Depending on what you connect the modem to, you may need a cross-over cable. If you are connecting directly to a computer or the WAN/Modem port of a DSL router, a standard, straight-through Ethernet cable should work fine. If you connect to a network hub, you will either need to put it in an "uplink" port or use a cross-over cable.
2. The port on the 5360 will only work at 10 MBps. If you have a 100MBps hub or switch that doesn't support 10 MBps, it won't work. Also, if the network gear doesn't "auto-sense" the media but supports 10 MBps and 100 MBps, you may need to force it to 10 MBps. The same goes for computer network cards.
Your manufacturer's documentation or web site should describe how to do this.

What is the default IP address of the 5360?

The 5360 does not have an IP address. It has a MAC (layer 2) address, which is used for sending (bridging) the data traffic between the client side and the ISP side.
