The SpeedTouch™ offers two local networking solutions:
•
Wired Ethernet
The SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet port(s) on the back panel allow(s) you to connect
the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or
more) computer(s) with installed Ethernet card.
•
In case of a single Ethernet port SpeedTouch™, you will need an external
hub or switch to connect multiple computers.
•
In case of a SpeedTouch™ switch, you can create a local Ethernet network
of up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.
If an external hub or switch is used for wired Ethernet networking,
Note
please follow the installation instructions supplied with the hub for
connections and Ethernet cabling.
•
Wireless Ethernet
The SpeedTouch™ wireless access point allows multiple computers to connect to
your local network over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment.
To be able to connect the computers, make sure that:
•
A Wireless Ethernet client adapter (WLAN client) is installed on each of the
computers you want to connect via the Wireless Ethernet.
