Setup Of Wireless Access; How To Set Up The Router - TDC Netopia User Manual

4. Setup of wireless access

Your Netopia ADSL router has an integrated wireless access point which is
activated if this has been ordered or is standard with the product ordered. Oth-
erwise, the wireless functionality has not been ordered, and you may skip this
section.
Physical location of the router if used with wireless functionality:
• The wireless functionality may interfere with medical equipment. Please note
the technical conditions applying in the relevant environment.
• Avoid placing the router in the immediate vicinity of radio receivers, televi-
sions, and microwave ovens as this may result in disruptions in the wireless
signal.
• Please note that reinforced concrete can weaken the wireless signal.
• The antenna must point upward in order to get optimum coverage.
If the router was ordered with the wireless functionality activated, TDC's man-
agement system handles the setup of the router in connection with the instal-
lation. You can see whether the wireless functionality has been activated by
checking whether the 'Wireless' LED is on.
If activation of the wireless functionality is ordered at a later point in time, you
will receive information on when it is ready on TDC's management system.

Switch the router off and on in order for it to be updated by the management
system. The router will then automatically contact TDC's management system
and download the correct configuration (this may take up to five minutes).
Information on the wireless functionality (encryption key, SSID) is available on a
secure TDC website.
Access to this website must be established from a computer which is connected
to the router's LAN port, which has Internet access, via the network cable (see
the 'Installation' section). The wireless functionality cannot be set up via a VPN
connection. This is because the security in relation to online configuration is
based on a check of the router's IP address.
Open a web browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, via the computer and use the follow-
ing self-service link: http://tts.tdc.dk/welcome.do. You will be asked to enter your
email address or your mobile phone number. Write the email address and/or the
mobile phone number on which you can receive emails or text messages at the
moment. Please note that you cannot use an email address from which you only
have access to reading emails via a VPN connection, e.g. your email address at
work. You will then receive an email or a text message with a password for the
website from which you can download information on your wireless configura-
tion. Follow the directions on the website.
