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 SpeedTouch™ to your Personal Computer (PC). The ADSL Line port is
situated in the inline receptacle. This port connects the SpeedTouch™ to the ADSL
highway.
Note: As you notice, there is no separate mains plug, cord, or power adapter. This is
because the SpeedTouch™ is powered via the USB connection.

2.2. What You Need
2 Get Acquainted to the SpeedTouch™
ADSL and telephone
service
WARNIN G In all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about splitter/filter installation !
Service Provider The SpeedTouch™ supports two connection services: RFC1483 Bridging and RFC2516
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.
Bridged PPPoE. Depending on the preferences of your Service Provider, the connection
service suitable for your connectivity to the Service Provider and hence the Internet
will be installed by the Installation CD-Rom delivered with your SpeedTouch™.
In case of RFC2516 Bridged PPPoE a PPPoE client application must be installed on your
PC or computer. The PPPoE client software must be provided by your Service Provider.
Note: Although not required for making a physical connection to your Service Provider,
it may still ask for your credentials (user name and password) for accessing his
resources and the Internet.
PC or computer 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 SpeedTouch™.
Note: Make sure you are not using low-powered USB ports to connect the SpeedTouch™. In case you are not sure of the type of USB port, see the User's Guide of your
PC or USB port hub.
