Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Xpeed 320R SDSL to Ethernet Router.
The 320R enables you to share with other users on the Local Area Network
(LAN) a high-speed SDSL line that may be intended for a single user.
This user’s guide will help you understand the features of your 320R and
guide you in the installation and configuration.
1. WHAT IS SDSL?
SDSL is an acronym for Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line, which is a technol-
ogy that improves the amount of information that can be transmitted on existing
copper phone lines. With SDSL, users can connect to the Internet at speeds up to
2.3 Mbps, which is about 50 times faster than a connection over a 56K analog
modem.
SDSL is symmetric, because both upstream and downstream speeds are the same.
This differs from Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) which usually has
a higher downstream rate than upstream rate. ADSL is best suited for applications
such as multimedia, where the user is mostly receiving large volumes of informa-
tion but transmitting only a small amount of information. SDSL, on the other

hand, is symmetric so users can send and receive at equally high rates. This allows
applications such as email server, web server, and video conferencing.
2. THE X320R
The Xpeed X320R is an integrated SDSL to Ethernet IP router providing high-
speed WAN connectivity for home offices and small businesses. The X320R is
based on SDSL technology, providing businesses a reliable symmetric connection
critical for day to day operation. In addition, the X320R is an IP router supporting
features such as Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall that are part of
the core of a business connection.
3. MAJOR FEATURES
The X320R is a DSL access device for high speed connectivity. It is built to pro-
vide users with several business class features, focusing on the most important
ones. Some of the major features of the X320R are listed below.
•Up to 2.3 Mbps speed
•Frame Relay
•Integrated four port hub
•NAT/PAT

•One touch firmware upgrades
•Firewall
•PAP/CHAP
4. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The X320R comes in a sturdy compact chassis that can be stacked or wall
mounted. It should be placed as close as possible to the DSL jack to reduce noise
and interference. PCs may be connected directly to the X320R or through Ether-
net hubs.
•Width: 7 3/4 in (20 cm)
•Depth: 5 1/8 in (13.5 cm)
•Height: 1 1/8 in (3 cm)
•Holes for wall mounting: 3 15/16”(10 cm) center to center
The X320R has four LEDs on the front to indicate system status.

If your modem is not functioning properly, please refer to the Trouble Shooting
section in the Appendix for detailed directions on using the LEDs to help locate
your problem.
The X320R has the following ports on the back:
10BaseT Ethernet interface is the connection to the LAN. The four ports func-
tion as a built-in hub, allowing up to 4 PCs to be connected directly to the X320R.
Additional PCs may be added by connecting one or more of the ports to an exter-
nal hub. Please refer to the Network Planning section for more information. This
interface does not support 100BaseT.
Each Ethernet port has a set of LEDs to indicate link status and data activity. The
green top left LED is lit when an Ethernet connection is established with another
device, either an Ethernet adapter in a PC or an external Ethernet hub. The yellow
LED at top right flashes to indicated data activity on that port.
Serial Interface is used to manage and configure the X320R through a RS232-
based terminal application.
Note: On versions of the X320R that have a metal chassis, the connector is a male
DB9. On plastic versions, the connector is a female DB9.

Power Supply is connected to the enclosed 9 VDC wall transformer. Use only the
wall transformer supplied with your product.
SDSL Interface is the port that connects to the SDSL line provided by your ISP.
5. SPEEDS SUPPORTED
The X320R supports an SDSL interface to the WAN. This allows the X320R to
connect at speeds up to 2.3 Mbps in either transmit or receive directions. How-
ever, the actual speed that the X320R will operate will depend upon the type of
service that you selected through your ISP. If you find that you need a faster con-
nection, please contact your ISP to discuss the options available to you.
6. ROUTER CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT
The X320R may be configured by four methods: Quick Start, web browser, serial
port terminal emulation, and remote TELNET session. The Quick Start and web
browser interfaces are graphical and intended for getting users started fast. The
serial port and TELNET interfaces are based on the powerful Command Line
Interface (CLI) and is intended for advanced users.

3. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The X320R is best suited for use in a multi-user Ethernet based LAN environ-
ment. The LAN layout should be a network of PCs interconnected by Category 5
Ethernet cables.
Each PC must be able to communicate with the network. The PC may use an
Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) or some other form of Ethernet adapter. In
addition, the PC must be setup with TCP/IP.
If you want to connect an external hub to the X320R, you may require a cross-
over Ethernet cable. However, you can use a standard Category 5 straight-thru
cable if the hub has an Uplink switch to implement the cross-over functionality.
You may also need a DB9 Serial Cable to configure the X320R via the serial port.
However, if you do not have a serial cable, you can use any of the other methods
to manage the X320R including TELNET, web interface, and Quick Start.

Setting up the X320R
Once you have all the information that you will need, you can follow the steps
below to begin the installation and setup of the X320R.
1. HARDWARE SETUP
1. Locate a secure spot for your X320R router so people do not trip
over it loosening any cables. It should be located as close as pos-
sible to the DSL jack to reduce possible interference. Note: you
may use the holes on the bottom of the X320R to mount it on a
wall.
2. Plug the wall transformer to a 110 VAC socket. Then power the
X320R by connecting the wall transformer to the 9VDC jack on
the back of the X320R. You should immediately see the power
LED turn on.
3. Connect the SDSL Line to the DSL port on the back of the X320R.
You should see the Link LED start to blink and eventually light
solid green. If this LED does not turn solid after 5 minutes,
please check to make sure your connectors are properly seated.

4. Connect the X320R to your LAN. If you have less than four PCs in
your network, you can connect them directly into the integrated
4-port hub on the X302R. However, if you have more than 4
PCs, you will have to use one of the ports for an external Ether-
net hub.
