1.2 Setting Up the SpeedTouch™

Wall mounting Part of the package is a wall mounting assembly which allows you to conveniently mount assembly the SpeedTouch™ on a wall. See “7.2 Using the Wall Mounting Assembly” on page 76

for more information.

SpeedTouch™ variants Two ADSL variants of the SpeedTouch™ exist:

•The ADSL/POTS variant connecting to an analog Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) line

•The ADSL/ISDN variant connecting to a digital Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line

You can identify your variant by checking the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™.

Use only the SpeedTouch™ variant which is appropriate for the DSL service provided to your premises. Check with your Service Provider to determine whether your SpeedTouch™ is adapted to ADSL service requirements.

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.

Connect the DSL line The DSL port on the SpeedTouch™ is marked “Line”.

Use the DSL cable provided to wire the SpeedTouch™ DSL port to your telephone wall outlet or distributed filter.

Connect the power Always check first whether the power supply adapter provided is suitable for the local supply power specifications. Contact your Service Provider in case of any doubt.

The power inlet on the SpeedTouch™ is marked “AC”.

Plug the adapter's coaxial jack into the SpeedTouch™'s power inlet and plug the power supply into a power socket outlet.

1 SpeedTouch™ Installation

Turn on the	Once all previous steps are completed, you can turn the SpeedTouch™ on (I) with the
SpeedTouch™	power switch.
	The SpeedTouch™ is ready for service as soon as the start-up procedures are
	completed, the Power On Self Test (POST) is passed and both Power/Alarm and Line
	Sync LEDs on the front panel are constantly lit green.
	Note	You can follow the start-up procedure progress on the PWR/Alarm LED.
		See “ Front panel LEDs” on page 6 for more information.

For troubleshooting startup failures, see “7.6 Troubleshooting” on page 91.

Local networking setup The SpeedTouch™ offers two local networking solutions:

•Wired Ethernet

The SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet port(s) on the back panel allow(s) you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with installed Ethernet card.

•In case of a single Ethernet port SpeedTouch™, you will need an external hub or switch to connect multiple computers.

•In case of a SpeedTouch™ switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.

Note If an external hub or switch is used for wired Ethernet networking, please follow the installation instructions supplied with the hub for connections and Ethernet cabling.

•Wireless Ethernet

The SpeedTouch™ wireless access point allows multiple computers to connect to your local network over the SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment.

To be able to connect the computers, make sure that:

•A Wireless Ethernet client adapter (WLAN client) is installed on each of the computers you want to connect via the Wireless Ethernet.

•In case you purchased a SpeedTouch™545, the wireless upgrade card is installed as described in “7.1 Upgrading a SpeedTouch™545 for Wireless Networking” on page 74.

For more information on how to proceed for associating WLAN clients, see “4 Wireless Connectivity” on page 41.

Internet connection To continue with preparing the SpeedTouch™ for Internet connectivity, see setup “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 11.

1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup

Internet connectivity Some configuration may be required to prepare the SpeedTouch™ for Internet connectivity.

Before setting up the SpeedTouch™ for Internet connectivity, make sure that the SpeedTouch™ is prepared as described in “1.2 Setting Up the SpeedTouch™” on page 9.

You can configure the SpeedTouch™:

•Over the traditional wired Ethernet network

•Over the SpeedTouch™ wireless Ethernet network

If you want to configure the SpeedTouch™ over the wireless interface, make sure that your computer’s WLAN client is correctly associated with the SpeedTouch™ wireless network according to “4.1 First-time Wireless Client Association” on page 43 before proceeding.

What you need from You might need a user account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for Internet your ISP access. For this user account, your ISP will provide you with:

•A user name (logon ID).

•A password.

Other information may be required, depending on the ISP’s specific requirements and

Service profile selection.

SpeedTouch™ The method for configuring the SpeedTouch™ via the Setup configuration files depends configuration options on the Operating System (OS) of your computer system.

If your computer system runs:

•A Microsoft Windows Operating System:

The SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard, included on the SpeedTouch™ Setup CD-ROM, will automatically guide you through the configuration of both the SpeedTouch™ and your PC for setting up the appropriate configuration.

Proceed with “1.3.1 Microsoft Windows SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 12.

In addition it is recommended to install Dr SpeedTouch™. See “3 Dr SpeedTouch™” on page 37 for more information.

•Another Operating System (e.g. Apple Mac OS, UNIX, Linux, etc.):

2 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

2 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

Introduction This chapter provides information on how to configure your SpeedTouch™ according to your preferences and how to access the Internet.

Access methods As soon as the SpeedTouch™ and your computers have been configured as outlined in “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 11, you are able to connect to the Internet.

Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:

•Direct access

As soon as the initial configuration has been performed, continuous and immediate access is available via the DSL line.

•Dial-in access

Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by “dialing” into a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS).

The applied connection protocol model depends on the Service profile you selected to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider's requirements.

Dial-in access Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via:

•The SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with embedded PPP client.

See “2.1 Internet Connections via SpeedTouch™’s Embedded PPP Dial-in Client.” on page 24 for more information.

•A broadband dial-in client on your computer.

See “2.2 Connect to the Internet via a Host PPPoE Dial-in Client” on page 29 for more information.

Your Internet Regardless of whether a direct access or a dial-in access method is used to make your connection connection, once the connection is established, opening your web browser is enough to

access the World Wide Web (WWW) or Internet.

Note In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.

E-DOC-CTC-20030814-0001 v1.0	23

2SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

2.1Internet Connections via SpeedTouch™’s Embedded PPP Dial-in Client.

Introduction The SpeedTouch™ supports both most popular connection methods: Routed PPP over ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).

The connection method depends on the Service profile you selected to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s requirements.

To use:

•the embedded Routed PPPoA dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for the Routed PPPoA Service.

•the embedded Routed PPPoE dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for the Routed PPPoE Service.

Both Services are available via the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or via the embedded

Easy Setup.

Using SpeedTouch™ SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet connec- embedded PPP dial-in tion for all (or a selection of) computers residing on your local network, using only one

client computer of the network to control the client. If this computer runs:

•MS Windows XP,

you can use MS Windows XP’s Internet Gateway Device Control Client.

See “2.1.1 Using the MS Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client” on page 25 to proceed.

•another Operating System,

you can use the SpeedTouch™ web pages.

See “2.1.2 Using the SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 27 to proceed.
