Local Network Setup

2.1 Wired Ethernet

Local network The Ethernet ports on the back panel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with an installed Ethernet card.

Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.

In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/

RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.

Standard wiring Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to procedure one of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.

The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire an Ethernet port of your

SpeedTouch™ to any external Ethernet hub or switch.

Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.

Ethernet link check LED indicators allow you to check your Ethernet. See “1.1 SpeedTouch™ LED Behaviour” on page 4 for more information.

Device settings Once you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings.

For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 15.

Managed Ethernet Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN, switch using priority queuing to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first

and in real time. This feature maximizes your network performance.

The managed Ethernet switch allows you to configure a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), group ports or isolate a port, configure secure channel connections, define Quality of Service (QoS), and configure port mirroring, allowing monitoring from one port to another.

You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).
