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 GIn all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about splitter/filter installation !
Service ProviderThe 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 computerYour 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.

3.1.Installing the SpeedTouch™
IntroductionThis section will assist you in installing the STUSB and preparing your PC for your
Internet connectivity.
Microsoft Windows•One of the following OSs must be readily installed on your PC:
•Microsoft Windows 98/98SE or Microsoft Windows ME
•Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP
You may need the Windows installation CD-rom during installation.
•For Windows98/98SE/ME:
•Pentium processor 166 MHz, or higher (or compatible)
•32 Mega Byte (MB) of memory, or more.
•For Window2000/XP :
•Pentium II processor, or higher (or compatible)
•64 MB of memory, or more.
•30 MB of free disk space
•A Web browser, e.g. Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer, ... for surfing the
Internet.
Bridged PPPoEIn case of Bridged PPPoE a PPPoE session client application must be readily installed on
your PC. The installation software must be provided by your Service Provider.
Two installation
methods
As your STUSB is a true Plug-and-Play device you can use two different installation
procedures:
By inserting the STUSB 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 STUSB 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 subsection.
10
Windows OS
differences
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.

The SpeedTouch Setup
wizard (application)
installation
In case the STUSB was already installed on your system, the SpeedTouch Setup wizard
(application) allows also an upgrade, removal or repair of the existing STUSB installation.
StepAction
1Insert the STUSB Installation CD-rom in your PC's CD-rom drive.
The SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) will start automatically.
Note: In case the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) does not start automatically, open a 'Run' window via Start > Run from the Start menu and enter
following path: D:\Setup.exe, where D stands for the drive letter of your
CD-rom drive.
2The STUSB Setup program prepares the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (applica-
tion):
As soon as the preparation is finished, the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) will start automatically.

Note: Depending onto which pins of the wall socket the ADSL signals are
assigned, it might be necessary to plug in an RJ11 interchanger into the wall
socket prior to connect the ADSL cable.
10Plug the STUSB's USB connector into the PC's USB port.
An USB port can be easily located, it is marked with the typical USB symbol:
11The 'Windows found New Hardware' wizard will automatically continue with
the installation of the STUSB ADSL modem device:
12The installation finishes with setting up STUSB's ADSL Wide Area Network

compliant installation
As an alternative to the SpeedTouch Setup wizard (application) installation you can also
install the STUSB using the Plug-and-Play compliant installation.
StepAction
1Connect the STUSB to the ADSL wall socket and the PC.
Note: ADSL must be available, as well as the appropriate central splitter or
distributed filters.
2Windows will automatically recognize the STUSB.
The Windows 'Found new Hardware' wizard pops up. This wizard will guide
you through the installation procedure.
Follow all the instructions. In most cases you only have to click Next to
proceed with the installation procedure.

PPPoE session clientTo use your STUSB for Bridged PPPoE, you will need a PPPoE session client application,
readily installed on your PC. This application will build connection icons for easy
connectivity to your Service Provider.
If your Service Provider requires you to use Bridged PPPoE, it should provide you with
the PPPoE session client application.
If they did not do so, contact your Service Provider for more information.
Creating and using a
PPPoE session instance
Using the PPPoE session client application, you will be able to build PPPoE session icons,
representing all the connection parameters, just like creating Dial-Up icons with
Microsoft's Dial-Up Networking application.
All you need is your user name and password for your account; although sometimes
also a service name is required. Check with your Service Provider which service name
to choose, if any.
For further details on how to fill in these parameters, and use additional functionality,
consult the manual of your PPPoE session client application, or follow the instructions
of your Service Provider.

Solving problemsThis appendix provides information on how to identify and correct some common
problems you may encounter when using the STUSB.
In most cases the described solutions will solve the problem.
However, if the problem keeps persistent, reinstallation of your STUSB might solve the
problem.
If reinstallation has not resolved the problem, contact the company from which you
purchased the STUSB for assistance.
STUSB LEDsYour STUSB is equipped with two Bi-colored LEDs . These indicators indicate the status
of the STUSB. Checking the STUSB status may be a first step in isolating the problem.

Verify the STUSB connections.
Check if the STUSB's cord is damaged in any way.
When using a portable computer in battery mode, it is
possible that its USB port is not powered. Refer to the
portable's User's Guide for more information.
Check if the STUSB is not connected to a low-powered
USB hub port. Refer to the USB hub's User' Guide for
more information.
Verify your computer is running one of the supported
OSs and that it meets the according minimum requirements.
Check whether the STUSB is not connected to a
low-powered USB hub port. Refer to the USB hub
User's Guide for more information.
Your USB port congests, meaning that too much traffic is
passing through the port. Avoid using multiple high
speed USB devices, e.g. scanners, speaker, etc. during
heavy duty, e.g. a data download.
