2.3.4 Connecting Additional Wireless Clients
Preconditions Make sure that:
The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™ has been configured as DHCP server (default).
The wireless client adapters have been installed on all computers you want to
connect to the WLAN.
Security issues Depending on the personalised wireless settings:
Make sure to use the same encryption or security level on the client as on your
SpeedTouch™. If for instance WPA-PSK is enabled on the SpeedTouch™, you
must also configure the wireless client to use WPA-PSK and configure the same
WPA-PSK passphrase.
In case the Network Name (SSID) is not broadcasted, you must configure the
wireless client for the SpeedTouch™ Network Name. Refer to the
documentation of your wireless client for more information.
Depending on the ACL settings:
In case New stations are allowed (automatically), your device will be
able to access the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
In case New stations are allowed (via registration), you will need to
register.
In case New stations are not allowed, you will not be able to access the
SpeedTouch™.
Registering clients You can add a wireless client to the ACL as follows:
1 Go to the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
2 In the menu select Home Network > Devices.
3 Under Pick a task..., click Search for wireless devices.
4 The SpeedTouch™ searches for new wireless stations that use the encryption
key of the SpeedTouch™ Access Point.
5 The SpeedTouch™ takes you to the Home Network. The new station will be
shown next to the name of the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
6 Click the name of the new station.
7 Click Configure.
8 Select Allowed on WLAN and click Apply.
9 Now the device is added to the ACL and will always be allowed to connect to
the SpeedTouch™.
