You are able to align the external antenna to optimise the wireless link. The antenna
characteristics are such that wireless links perpendicular to the antenna are
favoured. When the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are
favoured.
Please note that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, for
example by reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advised to
use the received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to
optimise the antenna position for the link to a given client.

1.2 Setting up the SpeedTouch™
ADSL service The appropriate DSL service must be available at your premises:
ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the
same copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for
decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Always contact your Service Provider when installing splitters/filters!
!
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only
install splitter/filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose.

radio channels and is able to select the best radio channel at each start-up.
The different channels are overlapping. To avoid interference with another
WLAN make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency, this is channel
number) is as high as possible. It’s recommended to keep at least 3
channels between 2 different WLAN’s. For example, if there is an access
point at channel 5 and an access point at channel 11, then the
SpeedTouch™716g will select channel 1.
The SpeedTouch™716g supports all channels allowed for wireless networking
according to your region’s regulations.
However, depending on local regulations, the number of channels actually allowed
to be used may be additionally restricted. As shown in table below:

Make sure that:
The SpeedTouch™716g is powered on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™716g is in its default configuration.
If needed, reset the SpeedTouch™716g to its default configuration as
described in “8.3 Reset to Defaults” on page 102.

The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP
configuration (DHCP).
Usually this is the default TCP/IP configuration for (wireless) Ethernet
interfaces of your computer.
The wireless client is correctly configured for associating to the
SpeedTouch™716g wireless access point (See below).
To be able to connect to the SpeedTouch™ wireless network, your wireless client
must be correctly configured for the default network name. As the
SpeedTouch™716g broadcasts its network name to the wireless clients, you can
select the SpeedTouch™716g wireless network (for example SpeedTouch012345)
from a list of available networks. Depending on your wireless client a wireless icon
may become green or a message similar to the following may pop up:
“Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch012345”.
Some wireless clients do not automatically join a wireless network. In this
case, follow the instructions for the wireless client software to initiate

2.4.2 WEP
Definition The Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) relies on a secret key that is shared between
the wireless client (for example a laptop with a wireless client) and the
SpeedTouch™716g. The fixed secret key is used to encrypt data before being
transmitted.
Configuring WEP on the
SpeedTouch™
Proceed as follows:
1 Open the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
For more information, see “5.1 Accessing the SpeedTouch™ Web
Pages” on page 44.

4 Following fields appear:
Authentication Type:
The SpeedTouch™716g supports two authentication types:
Open System:
All wireless clients are able to authenticate. The WEP key is only
used to encrypt/decrypt data.
Shared Key:
Only wireless clients using a correct SSID and WEP key are able to
authenticate. The WEP key is used to authenticate and to encrypt/
decrypt data.

2.4.3 WPA
Definition WPA Enterprise is a part of the Wi-Fi Protected Access standard. In this mode,
authentication is done by a dedicated authentication server, which is normally not
available for residential use.
RADIUS Server Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) is a protocol for carrying
authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network
Access Server which desires to authenticate its links and a shared Authentication
Server.
Chapter 2
Configuring WPA on the
SpeedTouch™
Proceed as follows:
1 Open the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
For more information, see “5.1 Accessing the SpeedTouch™ Web
Pages” on page 44.
2 Browse to Wireless > Security.
3 In the Wi-Fi Protected Access list, click WPA.
4 Following fields appear:
WPA Group Rekey Interval:
The time for the WPA group rekey interval in seconds.
RADIUS Server IP Address:
The IP Address of the RADIUS Server.
RADIUS UDP Port:
Port 1812 is the reserved RADIUS-authentication port described in
RFC2138. Earlier RADIUS clients use port 1945.
RADIUS Shared Secret:
A share secret is like a password, which is used between Internet
Authentication Service (IAS) and the specific RADIUS client to verify
identity. Both IAS and the RADIUS client must be use the same shared
secret for successful communication to occur. Enter the words for the
share secret.
Data Encryption (WPA):
Select the data encryption for the WPA mode. Following encryption
types are available:
TKIP:
The Temporal Key Integration Protocol (TKIP) takes the original
master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys
mathematically from this master key. Then it regularly changes and
rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will be
never used twice.
AES:
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides security
between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a
mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes
of 128, 192 or 256 bits.
TKIP+AES:
Combines the features and functions of TKIP and AES.
