Before you connect
other WLAN clients
Before associating and registering further WLAN clients, it is recommended that you
first proceed with the configuration setup procedures as described in section
“1.4 SpeedTouch™570 Configuration Setup” on page 18.
For enhanced security, after going through the SpeedTouch™570 configuration setup
procedures, you are able to “personalize” the SpeedTouch™570 Wireless configuration
by configuring another SSID, and optionally enabling WEP encryption.
After re-associating the first WLAN client adapter with the “personalized” Wireless
configuration, you can register the remaining WLAN clients allowed to join your
WLAN.
For more information on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™570 Wireless configu-
ration, see chapter “2 SpeedTouch™570 Web Interface” on page 29.

The SpeedTouch™570 is powered on and ready for service.
