•The SpeedTouch™570 :
The ADSL/POTS variant connecting to an analog POTS(*) line
•The SpeedTouch™570 i :
The ADSL/ISDN variant connecting to a digital ISDN(**) line.
You can identify your variant by checking the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™570 .
Use only the SpeedTouch™570 variant which is appropriate for the DSL service delivered to your premises. Check with your Service Provider to determine whether your SpeedTouch™570 is adapted to ADSL service requirements.
(*) Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
(**) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
•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 de coupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Always contact your Service Provider when installing splitter/filters!
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.
Use the DSL cable provided to wire the SpeedTouch™570 DSL port to your telephone wall outlet.

•Wireless Ethernet
The SpeedTouch™570 Wireless Ethernet allows multiple PCs to connect to your local network.
To be able to connect the PCs, you must install a Wireless Ethernet client adapter (WLAN client) on each PC you want to connect via the Wireless Ethernet.
For more information on how to proceed for associating and registering WLAN clients, see “1.3 Wireless Connectivity” on page 13.
•Wired Ethernet
The SpeedTouch™570's Ethernet port on the back panel allows you to connect the SpeedTouch™570 to an existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or a single computer with installed Ethernet card.
•To connect the SpeedTouch™570 to a single computer, you can simply use the included straight-through Ethernet cable to connect both Ethernet ports.
•For building a wired Ethernet network of multiple PCs, you must connect the SpeedTouch™570 to a hub or a switch.
Note If a hub or switch is used for wired Ethernet networking, please follow the installation instructions supplied with the hub for connections and Ethernet cabling.
Internet connection To continue with preparing the SpeedTouch™570 for Internet connectivity, see setup “1.4 SpeedTouch™570 Configuration Setup” on page 18.

Wireless Connectivity |
Introduction |
|
The SpeedTouch™570 features a Wireless LAN Access Point which behaves as a hub |
|
|
and allows wireless connectivity between several devices and the local (W)LAN and - |
|
via the SpeedTouch™570 DSL router - to the public network, e.g. the Internet. |
|
WLAN technology enables these devices to communicate with each other in a locally |
|
mobile fashion, without the need for a wired environment. |
Wireless basics |
|
The WLAN's 'radio' link is a shared medium. As no physical connection exists between |
|
|
the SpeedTouch™570 and wireless clients, a name must be given to allow unique identi- |
|
fication of your WLAN radio link. This is done by the Service Set ID (SSID). 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™570 . |
|
The IEEE802.11b standard for WLANs allows several WLAN networks using different |
|
radio channels to be co-located. Several channels are available for use which are associ- |
|
ated to a slightly different frequency in the allowed range. The SpeedTouch™570 |
|
supports operation on all allowed channels and is able to select the best radio channel |
|
at each start-up. |
Wireless security |
|
Since the SpeedTouch™570 (W)LAN environment is a radio environment, precautions |
|
|
must be taken to ensure that your wireless network is safe from malicious intruders. In |
|
addition to providing the possibility of giving a personalized SSID name to the wireless |
|
network, the SpeedTouch™570 features a physical registration mechanism, an Access |
|
Control List (ACL) and enhanced Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 64or 128-bits |
|
encryption to secure your network and to control wireless client access. |
Wireless client |
|
Only WLAN client adapters compliant to IEEE802.11b DSSS, will be able to communi- |
|
requirements |
cate with the SpeedTouch™570 , and with the other members of the SpeedTouch™570 |
|
(W)LAN environment. |
|
It is advisable that the WLAN client adapter is Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance |
|
(WECA) Wi-Fi™ (*) certified to ensure smooth interoperability. |
|
To use SpeedTouch™570 's encryption security features, the WLAN client adapters |
|
should at least support 64-bit WEP encryption. |
|
(*) Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) |
|
|
Recommended |
Only WLAN client adapters compliant to IEEE802.11b DSSS, will be able to communi- |
Wireless client |
cate with the SpeedTouch™570, hence with other members of the SpeedTouch™570 |
adapters |
Wireless LAN environment. |
|
It is advisable that the WLAN client adapter is Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alli- |
|
ance (WECA) Wi-Fi certified to ensure smooth interoperability. |

These settings are as follows:
•The default SSID is printed on the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™570:
This unique SSID consists of the word “SpeedTouch” followed by the 6 last characters of the SpeedTouch™570 WLAN access point MAC address, without any spaces.
•By default SpeedTouch™570 automatically selects the best DSSS radio channel number at each start-up.
•The 'Registration' button is activated by default.
•Access Control List is empty and locked by default.
•WEP encryption is disabled by default.

Initial SpeedTouch™570 When the SpeedTouch™570 leaves the factory and after every Push-to-Defaults, the wireless configuration SpeedTouch™570 wireless configuration returns to its initial default settings.
These settings are as follows:
•The SSID is as printed on the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™570 .
•The DSSS radio channel number is set to “automatic”.
•The 'Registration' button is activated.
•The Access Control List is empty and locked.
•WEP encryption is disabled.
Make sure that:
•The SpeedTouch™570 is powered on and ready for service.
•The SpeedTouch™570 is in its default configuration.
If needed, perform a push-to-defaults via its default button.
•The WLAN client adapter is installed on your computer.
By default the WLAN client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP configuration (DHCP).
•The WLAN client is correctly configured for the default SpeedTouch™570 SSID, hence associated to the SpeedTouch™570 WLAN. Depending on your WLAN client a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may pop up: “Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch012345".
Note Some WLAN clients do not automatically join a WLAN. If so, follow the instructions for the WLAN client software to initiate the association.
Registering the first Proceed as follows:
WLAN client

|
|
may become green or a message similar to the following may pop up: |
|
|
“Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch012345". |
|
|
Note |
