DSL variants Four DSL variants of the SpeedTouch™610 Business DSL routers exist:
•The SpeedTouch™610:
The ADSL/POTS variant connecting to an analog POTS(*) line.
•The SpeedTouch™610i:
The ADSL/ISDN variant connecting to a digital ISDN(**) line.
•The SpeedTouch™610s:
The SHDSL variant connecting to a dedicated SHDSL(***) line.
•The SpeedTouch™610v:
The SHDSL variant connecting to a dedicated VDSL(****) line.
Use only the SpeedTouch™610 variant which is appropriate for the DSL service deliv-
ered to your local premises.
Check at your Service Provider whether your SpeedTouch™610 variant meets the DSL
service requirements.
(*) Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
(**) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
(***) Symmetrical High speed Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL)
(***) Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL)
DSL Port
DSL service The appropriate DSL service must be available at your local premises:
•ADSL, SHDSL or VDSL service must be enabled on your phone line
•In case of ADSL, both POTS or ISDN and ADSL service are simultaneously avail-
able from the same copper pair. Therefore, you need a central splitter or distrib-
uted filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals
Always contact your Service Provider for splitter/filter installation!
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/
filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose. Other splitter/filters may only be
installed by qualified service personnel.

5After restarting your PC, the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard will appear again to
announce that the configuration has been successful:
Click Finish to close the wizard.
Most configuration profiles will enable SpeedTouch™610’s DHCP server - and a PC’s
Ethernet port is configured as DHCP client by default. Therefore, in most cases, no
additional configuration of your PCs must be done if you want to enable multiple PCs
on your local network for accessing the Internet via the SpeedTouch™610.
To make sure that all PCs are configured as expected (DHCP or fixed IP addresses) you
can re-run the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard on every PC and select the Change the LAN
configuration option.
For fixed IP configurations, or other advanced settings, please follow the instructions
provided by your ISP or network administrator.
