Local Network Setup
Registering clients via
the association button
Proceed as follows to register new wireless network clients via the association
button:
1
Push the Association button on the SpeedTouch™front panel for at least two
seconds.
The WLAN LED toggles between green and red.
The ACL will be unlocked for a time frame of one minute. Any new wireless
client successfully attempting to connect to the SpeedTouch™ (having the
correct wireless settings, that is the network name and, if required, the
network key) within the time frame of one minute, will be added to the table.
The SpeedTouch™ automatically saves your current configuration at the end
of the registration phase.
2
Successfully registered stations are associated to the SpeedTouch™ WLAN.
Depending on your WLAN client adapter, a wireless icon may become green
or a message similar to the following may appear: “Successfully joined
Wireless network SpeedTouch123456”.
3
The wireless clients will be added to the SpeedTouch™ ACL.
4
After one minute the ACL is locked.
Some WLAN clients do not automatically join a WLAN. If so, follow
the instructions for the WLAN client software to initiate the
association.
The registration procedure can be repeated as often as needed.

Extending the Range of Your Wirelstess
Network
Wireless Distribution
System (WDS)
The SpeedTouch™ features the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) functionality.
This feature allows you to extend the range of your wireless network by introducing
one or more WDS-enabled devices into your wireless network.
WDS enables data packets to pass from one wireless access point to another, as if
the access points were ports on a wired Ethernet switch. WDS allows you to extend
the range of your SpeedTouch™ by means of one or more wireless repeaters, like
for instance a SpeedTouch™180. The following illustration depicts two WDS-
enabled devices communicating via WDS.
Preconditions
Make sure that:
±
Your wireless repeater is be WDS enabled.
±
Both your SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater use:
±
The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.
±
The same
fixed
channel.
The SpeedTouch™ allows you to add up to four wireless repeaters.
Repeaters extend the coverage area of your wireless LAN. However, bear in
mind that throughput is reduced for wireless clients that are connected
through a repeater.
SpeedTouch™180
SpeedTouch™780WL
WDS Link
!
WPA encryption is not supported when using WDS.
The SpeedTouch™ and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need to
use the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your wireless
clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™ or the one of your
wireless repeater.

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
Introduction
If you want to set up initial Internet connectivity using the Home Install Wizard on
the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and
Setup Guide.
Access methods
Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
±
Direct access:
As soon as the initial configuration is finished, immediate and uninterrupted
WAN access is provided.
±
Dial-in access:
Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via
the SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with
embedded PPP client.
Connection protocols
The applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected
to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s
requirements. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure
PPPoE.
You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clients
There are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.
If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in method:
can beused on
following
operating system:

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
Embedded PPP dial-in
clients
The SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet
connection for computers residing on your local network, using only one computer
of the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
±
Any Operating System
you can always use the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.
See
“3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 33
to proceed.
±
Windows XP
you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See
“3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent” on page 35
to proceed.
Broadband host PPPoE
dial-in clients
You can also connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application.
The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behaviour over
the virtual Ethernet segment.
To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting
to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or
Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard on the
Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup. .
If your computer runs ...
you can use ...
Windows XP
the Windows XP broadband dial-in client
Mac OS X
a Mac OS X broadband dial-in client
a broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by
you Service Provider
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the latter
method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS 8.6/9.x, a Windows 95/
98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application is
mandatory.
