Local Network Setup 2.1 Wired Ethernet Local network 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.
128 MB of memory 30 MB of free disk space Prerequisites It is strongly advised to remove any SpeedTouch™ USB driver installation that may reside on your computer before you install USB drivers from the SpeedTouch™ Setup CD delivered with your SpeedTouch™ product.
Page 30
Chapter 2 Local Network Setup Installing Windows USB The first time you connect the SpeedTouch™ to your computer through the USB port, as soon as you plug the USB cable into the computer, you will be prompted for a driver USB driver.
Page 31
Proceed as follows: Insert the blue USB cable provided into the SpeedTouch™ USB port marked with the USB logo. An USB logo looks like this: The other end of the USB cable fits in (one of) the USB port(s) of your computer.
IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can coexist in the same wireless network. The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network.
The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists between the SpeedTouch™ and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Service Set ID (SSID), also referred to as Network Name.
Page 34
Chapter 2 Local Network Setup Antennas Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. If for example the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured. Please note that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that is by reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings.
The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID). This default network name (SSID) is printed on the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device. It consists of the concatenation of the word “SpeedTouch” and 6 hexadecimal characters, without any spaces, for example SpeedTouch123456.

Low (Security disabled, the default): No security; the data will not be encrypted, no authentication process will be used. Medium: Use WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt the traffic between the SpeedTouch™ and the clients by sharing a pre-defined 64-bit or a 128-bit Network key for secure communication with legacy 802.11b clients.
The SpeedTouch™ searches for new wireless stations that use the encryption key of the SpeedTouch™ Access Point. The SpeedTouch™ takes you to the Home Network. The new station will be shown next to the name of the SpeedTouch™ WLAN. Click the name of the new station.
The SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need to use the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your wireless clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™ or the one of your wireless repeater.
