2.1 Wired Ethernet

The Ethernet ports on the backpanel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an
existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with
installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of
up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/RJ-
45 Ethernet cable is included.
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to one
of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire an Ethernet port of your
SpeedTouch™ to any external Ethernet hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
LED indicators allow you to check your Ethernet. See

(VLAN), group ports or isolate a port, configure secure channel connections, define
Quality of Service (QoS), and you can configure port mirroring, allowing monitoring
from one port to another.
You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more
