Business HSI Basic Installation
NETGEAR 7550

Document Overview
Background
In September 2011, Frontier Legacy phased out the residential and business
class Sagem HSI modems (SE567 and SX762) and replaced them with the
Westell 7500. Although a good replacement for the Sagem modems, the
7500 is a temporary solution because it will be manufacturer discontinued in
2012. The final solution, which is similar to the 7500 but has many
improvements, is the Netgear 7550.
Note: Westell sold its modem technology to Netgear in early 2011 and
Netgear has rebranded the 7550 as a Netgear product. Except for the
name change the Netgear version is the same as the Westell version.
Replacing the 7500 with the 7550 results in several significant changes to
Frontier Legacy Business HSI installs:
• The 7550 replaces the 7500 for Business Class HSI products
• The 7550’s gateway address is 192.168.254.254
• The 7550 includes Wireless N
• The 7550 includes a second, “Guest”, wireless network which allows
customers to provide wireless access to their guests without the risk of
those guests accessing the customer’s network or the 7550’s
administrative features
• The 7550 can be setup without a DSL connection
