Configuring the SpeedTouch™ (and your computer)

Once the hardware is installed successfully and you are connected to the SpeedTouch™, the wizard will continue with the configuration of your SpeedTouch™.

Proceed as follows:

1If prompted, enter the User name and Password for your SpeedTouch™ security settings and click OK.

The factory default user is ‘Administrator’. Its password is blank, meaning you do not have to enter anything in the password field. It is advisable to specify another user name and password to protect your SpeedTouch™ from security violation during the configuration procedure (see “ Access Control” on page 15), or as described in “3.4 Basic Security” on page 24.

2Select the appropriate Region, Provider and Service for your Internet connection as specified by your service provider and click Next.

If the service provider has included a separate disk with a dedicated

service profile, click Have Disk... to browse to the location of the appropriate service profile template file.

From here on the procedure might differ from the description below. ! The requested information will depend on the selected service profile and should be provided by your Service Provider. Subsequent screens

will guide you through the configuration setup of both the SpeedTouch™ and your computer. Enter the requested information and click Next whenever requested.

3Select the VPI/VCI - and, if required, the Connection Type - as specified by your service provider and click Next.

4Enter the User Name and Password for your Internet account settings as specified by your service provider and click Next.
