4.2 Connecting Wireless Clients
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 “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 11.
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 SSID, and/or optionally another security level.
For more information on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ Wireless configura-
tion, see “ Wireless” on page 52.
Preconditions Make sure that:
• The SpeedTouch™ is powered on and ready for service.
• The SpeedTouch™ has been configured by the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or via
uploading the appropriate configuration profile file.
• Optionally, the SpeedTouch™ wireless settings have been personalized.
Further make sure that:
• The wireless client adapters are installed on the computers you want to connect.
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 SSID broadcasting is disabled, you must configure the wireless client for
the SpeedTouch™ SSID.
• Depending on the registration button and Access Control List configuration:
• In case registration is disabled and the Access Control List unlocked, no
further actions are needed for the wireless client to access the Speed-
Touch™ WLAN.
• In case registration is disabled and the Access Control List locked, you must
manually add the wireless client to the Access Control List as described in
“ Wireless” on page 52. Make sure to save your SpeedTouch™ configuration
by clicking Save all.
• In case registration is enabled and the Access Control List locked, you must
follow the procedure below to register the WLAN client to the Speed-
Touch™ Access Control List.
