Local Network Setup
2.1Wired Ethernet
Local networkThe Ethernet ports on the back panel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an
existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with an
installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of
up to two devices, without needing extra networking devices.
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/
RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to
one of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire an Ethernet port of your
SpeedTouch™ to any external Ethernet hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
Ethernet link checkDepending on the SpeedTouch™ model, LED indicators allow you to check your
Ethernet. See “1.1 SpeedTouch™ LED Behaviour” on page 4 for more information.
Device settingsOnce you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings.
For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 15.
Managed Ethernet
switch
Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN,
using priority queuing to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first
and in real time. This feature maximizes your network performance.
The managed Ethernet switch allows you to configure a Virtual Local Area Network
(VLAN), group ports or isolate a port, configure secure channel connections, define
Quality of Service (QoS), and configure port mirroring, allowing monitoring from
one port to another.
You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more
information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).
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 can 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.

Wireless FidelityThe Wi-Fi certification ensures that your SpeedTouch™ will interoperate with any
Network Name or SSIDThe WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists
2.2.1Wireless Basics
802.11b/g802.11b 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.
Wi-Fi certified 802.11g and 802.11b compliant wireless device.
Access PointThe 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.
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 channelsThe 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 startup.
You can choose to set the channels automatically or manually.
The different channels overlap. To avoid interference with another access
point, make sure that the separation (in terms of frequency) is as high as
possible. It is recommended to keep at least 3 channels between 2 different
access points.
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.
Regulatory DomainAllowed Radio Channels
China1 to 13
Europe1 to 13

AntennasDirect 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 weaken the radio signal and thus affect the connection.

WAN access is provided.
If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in access:
Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
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.
Chapter 3
Connection protocolsThe applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected
to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s
requirements. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure
PPPoE.
You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clientsThere are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.

The SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet
connection for computers residing on your local network, using only one computer
of the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
Any Operating System
you can always use the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.
See “3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 31 to proceed.
Windows XP
you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See “3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent” on page 33 to proceed.
You can also connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application.
The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behaviour over
the virtual Ethernet segment.
To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting
to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or
Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard on the
Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup. .
If your computer runs ...you can use ...
Windows XPthe Windows XP broadband dial-in client
Mac OS Xa Mac OS X broadband dial-in client
a broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by
you Service Provider
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the latter
method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS 8.6/9.x, a Windows 95/
98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application is
mandatory.

5.5.3Game & Application Sharing
OverviewThe Overview page summarizes the applications or games installed on a particular
local host on your network, for which the SpeedTouch™ should accept inbound
initiated connections coming from the Internet.
ConfigureOn the Configure page, you can:
Select Use UPnP to enable UPnP on the SpeedTouch™.
UPnP provides NAT-Traversal: UPnP aware applications on a PC will
automatically create Hyper-NAT entries on the SpeedTouch™ for incoming
traffic on the protocol ports this type of traffic needs. As a consequence these
applications are able to traverse the SpeedTouch™ without the need for extra
and manual configuration.
UPnP is an architecture for transparent peer-to-peer connectivity of
computers, intelligent appliances, and (wireless) devices. It enables
seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging
applications.
For security reasons you are able to configure the UPnP policy towards
Windows XP and UPnP aware applications and Operating Systems.
In case you select the Use Extended Security check box, only limited UPnP
operation between a host running MS Windows XP and the SpeedTouch™ is
allowed: A local host is:
NOT allowed to connect/disconnect the SpeedTouch™ Internet Gateway
Device (IGD) connection.
Allowed to add/delete Hyper-NAT entries only for its own IP address, not
for other local hosts.
If you clear the Use Extended Security check box, all UPnP- and IGD-based
communication between any local host and the SpeedTouch™ is allowed.

About the firewallThe firewall allows you to secure traffic from and to the SpeedTouch™. There are
different security levels, depending on the degree of security you need.
OverviewThe Overview page summarizes the overall security policy configured on your
SpeedTouch™.
ConfigureOn the Configure page you can select the security level of the SpeedTouch™.
Security LevelsSelect one of following security levels:
BlockAll:
All traffic from and to the Internet is blocked. Game and Application Sharing is
not allowed by the firewall.
Although BlockAll should block all connections, some mandatory types
of traffic such as DNS will still be relayed between LAN and WAN via
the SpeedTouch™.
Standard:
All outgoing connections are allowed. All incoming connections are blocked,
except for inbound connections assigned to a local host via Game and
Application Sharing.
Disabled:
All in- and outgoing traffic is allowed to pass through your SpeedTouch™,

know which encryption methods are supported by your wireless
client.
ConfigureOn the Configure page, you can change the configuration details displayed on the

WEPThe Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm protects wireless communication
from eavesdropping.
WEP relies on a secret key that is shared between the wireless client (for example a
laptop with a wireless Ethernet card and the SpeedTouch™. The fixed secret key is
used to encrypt packets before they are transmitted. Meaning during transmission
between client and AP ("in the air") the information in the packets is encrypted.
If your wireless client(s) support(s) WPA-PSK we recommend you to use
WPA-PSK, because WEP encryption has been proven to have some security
issues.
