Before you connect
other wireless clients
In case the SpeedTouch™ has not been configured before (the SpeedTouch™ is still in
its default configuration), it is recommended to proceed first with the configuration
setup procedures as described in “3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 23.
For enhanced security, after going through the SpeedTouch™ configuration setup
procedures, you are able to “personalize” the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point
settings by configuring another Network name, and/or optionally another security
policy.
For more information on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ Wireless configura-
tion, see “ Wireless” on page 55.
Preconditions Make sure that:
• The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
• The SpeedTouch™ has been configured by the SpeedTouch™ Easy Setup Wizard.
• Optionally, the SpeedTouch™ wireless settings have been personalized.
Further make sure that:
• The wireless client adapters are installed on all computers you want to connect to
the WLAN.
Depending on the personalized wireless settings:
• In case WEP encryption is enabled on the SpeedTouch™, you must configure the
wireless client to use the same encryption level and WEP key.
• In case WPA-PSK is enabled on the SpeedTouch™, you must configure the wire-
less client to use the same encryption method and WPA-PSK passphrase.
• In case SSID broadcasting is disabled, you must configure the wireless client for
the SpeedTouch™ Network name.
• Depending on the Registration control and Access Control List (ACL) configura-
tion:
• In case New stations are allowed (automatically) is enabled, then regis-
tration is disabled and the new stations can access the SpeedTouch™
WLAN but are not automatically added to the ACL. You can manually add
them to the Access Control List as described in “ Wireless” on page 55.
• In case No new stations allowed is enabled, only allowed stations in the
ACL have access. New stations are not allowed. You must manually add the
wireless client to the Access Control List as described in “ Wireless” on
page 55.
• In case New stations are allowed (via registration) is enabled, only
allowed stations in the ACL have access. New stations need to be registered.
Follow the procedure below to register associated stations to the Speed-
Touch™ ACL.
