2.3 Wireless Ethernet
Introduction The SpeedTouch™ 716v5 WL Wi-Fi® certified IEEE 802.11g compliant wireless access
point allows multiple computers to connect wirelessly to your local network over the
SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN environment. The SpeedTouch™ is backward compatible
with IEEE 802.11b, which means 802.11b and 802.11g devices can coexist in the
same wireless network.
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) on your SpeedTouch™ allows you to extend
the range of your wireless network. To be able to use WDS, you will need to
introduce an additional WDS-enabled access point into your wireless network.
To be able to connect the computers, make sure that a wireless client adapter
(WLAN client) is installed on each computer you want to connect via the WLAN.
Wireless client
requirements
All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b, will be able to
communicate with the SpeedTouch™ and other members of the SpeedTouch™
(W)LAN environment. However, be aware that only 802.11g compliant wireless
clients are able to gain full profit of the 54 Mb/s (Max) bandwidth delivered by the
SpeedTouch™.
It is highly recommended to use only wireless client adapters that are Wi-Fi™
certified to ensure smooth interoperability with the SpeedTouch™’s WLAN.

Local Network Setup
2.3.1 Wireless Basics
Introduction In this section some key wireless concepts are explained.
802.11b/g 802.11b is an IEEE standard, operating at 2,4 GHz at a speed of up to 11 Mb/s.
802.11g, a newer IEEE standard also operating at 2,4 GHz, gives you up to 54 Mb/s
speed, more security and better performance.
Wireless Fidelity The Wi-Fi certification ensures that your SpeedTouch™ will interoperate with any Wi-
Fi certified 802.11g and 802.11b compliant wireless device.
Access Point The SpeedTouch™ Wireless LAN Access Point (AP) behaves as a networking hub
allowing to wirelessly interconnect several devices to the local (W)LAN and to
provide access to the Internet.
Network Name or SSID The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists
between the SpeedTouch™ and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow
unique identification of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Service Set ID
(SSID), also referred to as Network Name. Wireless clients must be part of this SSID
environment in order to be able to communicate with other clients on the (W)LAN including the SpeedTouch™.
Radio channels The 802.11g standard allows several WLAN networks using different radio channels
to be co-located. The SpeedTouch™ supports multiple radio channels and is able to
select the best radio channel at each start-up.
You can choose to set the channels automatically or manually.
The SpeedTouch™ supports all channels allowed for wireless networking. However,
depending on local regulations, the number of channels actually allowed to be used
may be additionally restricted, as shown in the table below.
The different channels are overlapping. To avoid interference with another
access point, make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency) is as
high as possible. It’s recommended to keep at least 3 channels between 2
different access points.
Regulatory Domain Allowed Radio Channels
China 1 to 13
Europe 1 to 13
Israel 5 to 8
Japan 1 to 14
Jordan 10 to 13
Thailand 1 to 14
USA 1 to 11

Local Network Setup
Antennas Direct the external antenna to allow optimization of the wireless link. If for example
the antenna is erect, wireless links in the horizontal plane are favoured. Please note
that the antenna characteristics are influenced by the environment, that is by
reflections of the radio signal against walls or ceilings. It is advisable to use the
received signal strength as indicated by the wireless client manager to optimize the
antenna position for the link to a given client.
Concrete walls will die down the radio signal strength and thus affect the
connection.

2.3.2 Connecting First-time Wireless Clients
Wireless default
settings
After every Reset-to-Defaults, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point configuration
is returned to its initial default settings.
These default settings are:
Security level is low (security disabled) for an easy first use, meaning the data
will not be encrypted. Wireless security settings are described in
“2.3.3 Wireless Security” on page 30.
The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID).
This default network name (SSID) is printed on the identification label located
on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device. It consists
of the concatenation of the word “SpeedTouch” and 6 hexadecimal characters,
without any spaces, for example SpeedTouch123456.
The radio channel number is set to ‘automatically scan for the best radio
channel’.
Registration is not activated. New stations are allowed automatically. The
Access Control List is open and empty. No wireless client will be denied
access to the SpeedTouch™ based on its physical hardware address.
Preparing first-time
wireless clients
Make sure that:
The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.
If needed, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration (See “7.4 Reset
to Factory Defaults” on page 123 for more information).
A wireless client adapter is installed on your computer.
The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP
configuration (DHCP) - this is usually the default. For more information, see
the documentation of your wireless client adapter.
Configuring first-time
wireless clients
The wireless client must be correctly configured for the default network name. As
the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name to the wireless clients, you can select
the SpeedTouch™ wireless network 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 SpeedTouch123456”.
First-time association
example
In the example below is shown how the SpeedTouch™ wireless network is presented
towards a Windows XP Service Pack 2 system.
The default wireless settings may differ from the settings listed above

2.3.5 Extending the Range of Your Wireless
Network
WDS The SpeedTouch™ features Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality. This
feature allows you to extend the range of your wireless network by introducing one
or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless network.
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) enables data packets to pass from one
wireless access point to another, just as if the access points were ports on a wired
Ethernet switch. WDS allows you to extend the range of your SpeedTouch™ by
means of one or more wireless repeaters, like for instance a SpeedTouch™180. The
following illustration depicts two WDS-enabled devices communicating via WDS.
Preconditions Check on following:
Your wireless repeater must be WDS enabled.
Both your SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater must use:
The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.
The same fixed channel.
The SpeedTouch™ allows you to add up to four wireless repeaters.
Repeaters extend the coverage area of your wireless LAN, however bear in
mind that throughput is reduced for wireless clients that are connected
through a repeater.
SpeedTouch™180 SpeedTouch™716v5 WL

5.5.11 Firewall
Overview The Overview page summarizes the overall security policy configured on your
SpeedTouch™.
Configure The Configure page allows you to select the security level of the SpeedTouch™.
Select one of following security levels:
Block All:
To protect your network from all attempts of incoming (from untrusted site)
connection requests and to perform checks on outgoing (from trusted site)
connections. This level is meant to prevent incoming malicious traffic.
Standard:
To protect your network from all incoming (from untrusted site) connection
requests while permitting safe outgoing connections. This is the default.
Disabled:
To allow all incoming and outgoing traffic. This does not mean the complete
SpeedTouch™ firewall is disabled. It means all traffic coming in on one interface
and going out on another is allowed, but access to the embedded services of
the SpeedTouch™ (as TELNET, web interface,...) is only allowed for clients
residing on the LAN side, so the SpeedTouch™ itself stays protected.
