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
