Initial SpeedTouch™
wireless configuration
When the SpeedTouch™ leaves the factory and after every Reset-to-Defaults (See
“7.4 SpeedTouch™ Default Configuration” on page 88 for more information), the
SpeedTouch™ wireless configuration returns to its initial default settings.
These settings are as follows:
• The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its Network name (SSID)
The 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.
• WEP encryption is enabled at 128-bit encryption level.
The default WEP encryption key is printed on the identification label located on
the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device.
It consists of 26 hexadecimal characters.
• The DSSS radio channel number is set to “automatic”.
• Registration is not activated.
• The Access Control List is empty and open
Note 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 the Service
Provider.
Preparing the first-time
wireless client
Make sure that:
• The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
• The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.
If needed, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration

in “7.1 Upgrading a SpeedTouch™545 for Wireless Networking” on page 74.
• The wireless client adapter is installed on your computer.
• The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP
configuration (DHCP).
Note Usually this is the default TCP/IP configuration of your computer.

wireless access point (See below).
