1 Get Acquainted to the Speed Touch USB
1.1First Steps
Delivery check Check your STUSB package for the following items:
The Alcatel Speed Touch USB
2m DSL cable (RJ11/RJ11, RJ14/RJ14)
The STUSB Installation CD rom.
Damaged or missing items
Other materials
Your STUSB
In the event of damaged or missing items, contact your local product dealer for further instructions.
Your STUSB shipping carton may also include release notes, safety and conformity declarations and other materials.
Unlike most traditional modems, the electronic circuitry of the STUSB has been shaped into a stylish body. The input/output wiring is moulded in an ergonomically designed pigtail.
On the rear end of the pigtail you find the USB connector. That's the interface which connects the STUSB to your Personal Computer (PC). The ADSL Line port is situated in the inline receptacle. This port connects the STUSB to the ADSL highway.
Note: As you notice, there is no separate mains plug, cord, or power adapter. This is because the STUSB is powered via the USB connection.

1.2What You Need
ADSL and telephone service
WARNING
Service Provider
PC or computer
ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper pair, you need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Contact your Service Provider for more information.
In all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about splitter/filter installation !
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose.
Other splitter/filters may only be installed by qualified service personnel.
You must have a user account at an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for Internet access:
For this user account, it will provide you:
A user name (logon ID)
A password.
Note: The STUSB supports two connection services: PPPoA and PPPoE. Depending on the preferences of your Service Provider, the connection service suitable for your connectivity to the Service Provider, hence the Internet will be installed by the Installation CD Rom delivered with your
STUSB.
Your PC or computer must be equipped with an USB port capable of powering attached USB devices. You may also use an USB hub to connect the STUSB.
Note: Make sure you are not using low powered USB ports to connect the STUSB. In case you are not sure of the type of USB port, see the User's Guide of your PC or USB port hub.

2 Speed Touch USB for Microsoft Windows
2.1Installing the Speed Touch USB
Introduction This section will assist you in installing the STUSB and preparing your PC for your Internet connectivity.
Microsoft Windows One of the following OSs must be readily installed on your PC:
DMicrosoft Windows 98/98SE or Microsoft Windows ME
DMicrosoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
You may need the Windows installation CD rom during installation.
For Windows98/98SE/ME:
D Pentium processor 166 MHz, or higher (or compatible) D 32 Mega Byte (MB) of memory, or more.
For Window2000/XP :
D Pentium II processor, or higher (or compatible) D 64 MB of memory, or more.
30 MB of free disk space
Microsoft Dial Up Networking (default installed with the OS)
A Web browser, e.g. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, ... for surfing the Internet.
Two installation methods
As your STUSB is a true Plug and Play device you can use two different installation procedures:
The Alcatel Wizard Installation
By inserting the STUSB Installation CD rom, a wizard automatically guides you through all needed installation steps.
The Plug and Play Compliant Installation
The installation procedure is initiated by connecting the STUSB to your PC's USB port.
It does not matter which method you use, both are equally valid.
In this section, the Alcatel wizard installation is fully described. In case you experience problems with this installation, you can try the Plug and Play compliant installation, shortly described at the end of this section.
