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.

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

If your service provider requires that you use PPPoE, you will need a PPPoE software client (Enternet300, RASPPPoE, etc.) or a broadband router that supports PPPoE to establish a connection. If your provider offers a true "Bridged" connection, no additional software is necessary.

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.

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:•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.
•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.

No, the 5360 does not have a telnet or web browser interface.

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.

Efficient Networks does not make them available through their web site. The modem and client software are typically supported through your ISP. Check their DSL support web pages.
These are only two that are known:

The "5360" is not a single kind of modem. The one labeled as part number
"060-5360-023" on the bottom is very different from its
predecessor: 060-5360-002. The 5360-023 was made as a simplified unit that
removes certain diagnostic access to prevent user-inflicted
problems. However it suffers from an Ethernet port bug.
Fortunately there is an easy workaround and a cure.
Simple Workaround:
1. Power on the 5360-023 and allow the unit to fully boot.
2. Power off and then back on very quickly.
The Firmware Cure: Re-flash the Modem:
See http://kb.efficient.com/article.asp?article=45494&p=351
for the procedure and files required. This requires an MS Windows
machine. Modems re-labeled as part 060-5360-123 are already
re-flashed.
The problem is caused by a 10/100 autonegotiation flaw. The unfixed
modem works with some 10/100 connections and few, if any,
10-base-T ports. For some it works better to the user's
ISP's sites than elsewhere.
Note: Alternate Download Location
