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

situated in the inline receptacle. This port connects the SpeedTouch™ to the ADSL
highway.

Service Provider You must have a user account at an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for Internet access:
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.
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.

Two installation
methods
Windows OS
differences
As your SpeedTouch™ is a true Plug-and-Play device you can use two different installation procedures:
• The SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) Installation
By inserting the SpeedTouch™ 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 SpeedTouch™ to your
PC's USB port.
It does not matter which method you use, both are equally valid.
In this section, the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) 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.
The installation procedures might be slightly different depending on the Microsoft
Windows OS you are using:
• Some windows will look differently
• On Windows 98/98SE no 'Digital Signature' window will pop up
• For Windows 98/98SE, at the end of the installation procedure, you may be asked
to enter an area code for Dial-up connections.
