Local Network Setup
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.
Standard wiring Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to one procedure of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™ to an external hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
Managed Ethernet 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.
The managed Ethernet switch allows you to configure a Virtual Local Area Network (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 information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).

Local Network Setup
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.
To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter (WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.
Wireless client All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b, will be able to
requirements communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™ (W)LAN environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless
clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the SpeedTouch™.
It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™ certified to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.

802.11b/g 802.11b is an IEEE standard, operating at 2,4 GHz at a speed of up to 11 Mb/s.
802.11g, a newer IEEE standard also operating at 2,4 GHz, gives you up to 54 Mb/s speed, more security and better performance.
You can choose to set the channels automatically or manually.
The different channels are overlapping. To avoid interference with another
access point, make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency) is as high as possible. It’s recommended to keep at least 3 channels between 2 different access points.
The SpeedTouch™ supports all channels allowed for wireless networking. However, depending on local regulations, the number of channels actually allowed to be used may be additionally restricted, as shown in the table below:
