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.
Once you've connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings.
For more information, see
Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN,
switch using priority queuing to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first and
in real-time. This feature maximizes your network performance.
You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more
information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).
