2.1 Wired Ethernet
Local network The 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 four 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 Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to
procedure 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 check LED indicators allow you to check your Ethernet. See “1.1 SpeedTouch™ LED
Behaviour” on page 4 for more information.
Device settings Once you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings.
For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 15.
Managed Ethernet Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN,
switch 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

Local Network Setup
2.2 Wireless Ethernet
Introduction The SpeedTouch™ 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 All wireless client adapters compliant to 802.11g and/or 802.11b can communicate
requirements 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.
E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0147 v2.0

Chapter 2
Local Network Setup
2.2.1 Wireless Basics
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 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 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 / Canada 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 weaken the radio signal and thus affect the connection.

2.2.2 Connecting Wireless Clients for the First Time
Wireless default After every Reset-to-Defaults, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point
settings 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
“2.2.3 Wireless Security” on page 22.
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 SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID).
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.
The default wireless settings may differ from the settings listed above
! depending on your Service Provider’s requirements. If this is the case, refer
to the installation/configuration instructions provided by your Service
Provider.
To prepare wireless Make sure that:

clients for the first time The SpeedTouch™ is turned on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.
If necessary, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration (See
“5.3 Reset to Factory Defaults” on page 99 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.
To configure wireless The wireless client must be correctly configured for the default network name. As
clients for the first time 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 appear: “Successfully joined Wireless network
SpeedTouch123456”.
Some wireless clients do not automatically join a wireless network. If so,

2.2.5 Extending the Range of Your Wirelstess

Network
Wireless Distribution The SpeedTouch™ features the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality.
System (WDS) This feature allows you to extend the range of your wireless network by introducing
one or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless network.
WDS enables data packets to pass from one wireless access point to another, 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.
WDS Link
SpeedTouch™180 SpeedTouch™585
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.

Your wireless repeater is be WDS enabled.
Both your SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater use:
The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.
! WPA encryption is not supported when using WDS.
The same fixed channel.

The SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need to
use the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your wireless
clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™ or the one of your
wireless repeater.

Configure On the Configure page you can select the security level of the SpeedTouch™.
Security Levels Select 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™,
including Game and Application Sharing.
This is the default firewall level.
The firewall levels only have impact on the forward hook. This means that
the handling of traffic from and to the Web pages of the SpeedTouch™ is
independent of the selected firewall level.
Protocol checks will be performed on all accepted connections, irrespective
of the chosen level. You can only disable protocol checks via the CLI.

following encryption methods are supported by the SpeedTouch™:
The Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP)
WPA-Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK)
The default WEP key and the default WPA key are printed on the
SpeedTouch™ bottom label.
Before configuring the SpeedTouch™ encryption, make sure you
! know which encryption methods are supported by your wireless
client.
Configure On the Configure page, you can change the configuration details displayed on the
Details page.
WEP The 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.
To enable WEP:
1 Select Use WEP Encryption
2 In the WEP Key Length list, click the desired Data Security level (either 64-bit
or 128-bit and Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal).

64 bit, Alphanumeric:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 5 alphanumeric characters.
64 bit, Hexadecimal:
The 40-bit Network key must consist of 10 hexadecimal digits.
128 bit, Alphanumeric:
The 104-bit Network key consists of 13 alphanumeric characters.

5 Configure your wireless client(s) with the same settings.
WPA-PSK The SpeedTouch™ supports WPA-PSK, which offers three advantages over WEP:
Authentication via a 4-way handshake to check whether the Pre-Shared Keys
(PSKs) are identical.
Stronger encryption types:
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) (default): Instead of using a
fixed WEP key, TKIP uses in pairs temporary session keys which are
derived from the PSK during the 4-way handshake. For each packet
it uses a different key. TKIP also provides a message integrity check
(MIC) and a rekeying mechanism (in seconds).
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES): State-of-the-art encryption;
can only be used if all wireless devices in your WLAN support AES.
Message Integrity Check (MIC). Which is a strong mathematical function in
which the recipient and transmitter each compute and compare the MIC. If
they don't match it is assumed that a third person has been trying to read the
data.
Proceed as follows to enable WPA-PSK:
1 Select Use WPA-PSK Encryption.
2 In the WPA-PSK Encryption Key box, type a pass phrase (also known as Pre-
shared key) of your choice. The pass phrase must consist of 8 to 63 ASCII
characters or 64 HEX digits.
3 In the WPA-PSK Version list, click the desired WPA-PSK version.
Depending on the WPA-PSK version you choose, one of the following
WPA-PSK encryption will be set automatically:
WPA: TKIP
WPA2: AES
WPA+WPA2: TKIP+AES
AES is not yet implemented in most clients but it is in the
SpeedTouch™ because it will be the future security standard.
