SpeedTouch™ Home
Install Wizard
The SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard has been designed to help you on the
Internet very quickly.
First, the wizard tries to detect your SpeedTouch™. As soon as you have connected
your SpeedTouch™ to your computer, the wizard configures your SpeedTouch™
and - if necessary - your computer.
The Home Install Wizard was designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems
and Mac OS X - in the latter case provided you use a wired connection to your
SpeedTouch™.
You can start the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard:
Automatically from the SpeedTouch™ Quick Install Wizard when you insert
the SpeedTouch™ Setup CD into a computer for the first time.
See “2.2 Installing your SpeedTouch™” on page 7 for more information.

the safety instructions on the Setup CD (see “2.2 Installing your SpeedTouch™” on
page 7). They may also be provided as a printed booklet.
DSL service The DSL service must be up and running on your telephone line.
If both conventional telephone and DSL service are simultaneously available from
the same copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for
decoupling DSL and telephone signals.
Computer requirements To connect computer(s) via Ethernet, make sure the computer(s) are equipped
with an Ethernet network interface card (NIC).
For wireless networking, you will need a wireless 802.11 b/g compatible client
adapter for each computer you intend to connect wirelessly.
Wireless client
adapters
You can use one of the following wireless client adapters:
SpeedTouch™110g CardBus
SpeedTouch™121g USB adapter
Any other Wi-Fi certified WLAN client
Internet connection
details
You need the following connection details from your Internet Service Provider (ISP):
Your ISP’s method for connecting to the Internet (for example PPPoE, IPoA)
The VPI/VCI (for example 8/35) and encapsulation type
Your user name and password to connect to the Internet for PPP connections
Your IP settings in case of static configurations
You must have received this information when you subscribed to DSL at your
Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will be prompted for this information at a given
step in the installation procedure.
!
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only try
to set up splitter/filters that have been designed to be installed by
unqualified personnel. For further assistance, contact your Internet Service
