Additional configuration Some additional configuration may be needed:
MS Windows IP configuration
Most Service profiles will enable the SpeedTouch™ DHCP server. Since by default
a PC’s Ethernet interface is configured for obtaining its IP configuration dynami-
cally (DHCP client), in most cases, no additional configuration is required.
To make sure that all PCs are configured as expected (DHCP or fixed IP
addresses):
1 Run the SpeedTouch™ Setup Wizard on every PC that must connect to the
WLAN.
2 Select Change the LAN configuration.
3 Follow the instructions.
Note For fixed IP configurations, or other advanced settings, please follow
the instructions provided by your Service Provider or network admin-
istrator.
USB Configuration
If you are going to use the USB port as if it was an extra wired ethernet port, you
will need to install the USB Remote NDIS drivers. See “ Installing the Speed-
Touch™ USB connection” on page 13 for more information.
Wireless Settings
When running the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access
point settings will be set to their default values. You might need to re-associate
your WLAN clients, using the factory defaults WLAN settings as specified in
“2.3.1 First-time Wireless Client Association” on page 19.
For additional security of your wireless network it is recommend to “personalize”
your SpeedTouch™ wireless access point settings. See “2.3 Wireless Connection
Setup” on page 16 for more information.
