1.3.3 Access via FTP

File Transfer Protocol

(FTP)

You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), in order to:

Restore or backup configuration files, templates or language packs. Upgrade your configuration or firmware.

File system The SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on nonvolatile memory, and contains the SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.
FTP session To open an FTP session:

1 Open a Command Prompt window. In Windows XP for instance:

1On the Windows task bar, click Start.

2Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

2At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™ (default is 192.168.1.254).

3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.

The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.

4 The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:

File system structure The structure of the file system is very simple: It consists of a single root directory called root and two subdirectories called active and dl.

The root directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly the active and the dl directories

The active directory contains the active software image.

The dl (download) directory contains the passive software image.

If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl subdirectory.

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 100 Base-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.

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.

Ethernet link check LED indicators allow you to check your Ethernet. See “1.2 SpeedTouch™ LED Behaviour” on page 8 for more information.

Device settings Once you’ve connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings. For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 19.

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).

2.2 Wireless Ethernet

Introduction The SpeedTouch™ Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless access point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward compatible with 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.

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.

2.2.1 Wireless Basics

Introduction In this section some key wireless concepts are explained.

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.

Wireless Fidelity The Wi-Fi certification ensures that your SpeedTouch™ will interoperate with any WiFi certified 802.11g and 802.11b compliant wireless device.
Access Point The SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN Access Point (AP) behaves as a networking hub allowing to wirelessly interconnect several devices to the local (W)LAN and to provide access to the Internet.
Network Name or SSID 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. Wireless clients must be part of this SSID environment in order to be able to communicate with other clients on the (W)LAN - including the SpeedTouch™.
Radio channels The 802.11g standard allows several WLAN networks using different radio channels to be co-located. The SpeedTouch™ supports multiple radio channels and is able to select the best radio channel at each start-up.

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:
