Browsing to the SpeedTouch™ web pages

The SpeedTouch™ comes with integrated configuration web pages.

It allows you to configure your SpeedTouch™ simply by using a web browser from any local computer connected to the SpeedTouch™.

In most cases the SpeedTouch™ is correctly configured for your internet connectivity via the appropriate configuration profile/file and no further configuration on the web interface is needed.

Only for using and/or configuring the advanced SpeedTouch™ features, access to the web pages is required for specific configuration.

This chapter aims to give a brief overview of the SpeedTouch™ web pages and their respective functionality.

Before you can access the SpeedTouch™ web pages, make sure that:

The SpeedTouch™ and your computer share the same IP subnet (10.0.0.0/24). By default the SpeedTouch™ has a local IP address 10.0.0.138. To be able to access the web pages, your computer needs to be configured for an IP address in the same subnet, e.g. 10.0.0.1

Your web browser is not using a proxy server and the SpeedTouch™ IP address is not submitted to a proxy server.

To configure your computer with an IP address, please consult the Operating System’s Help. For more information on how to disable your web browser's proxying, please consult the web browser's Help.

To access the SpeedTouch™ web pages:

1Start the web browser on your computer.

2Browse to the SpeedTouch™ at its IP address at 10.0.0.138.

Note 10.0.0.138 is the SpeedTouch™ default IP address in the very most cases. If not, please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for more information.

3If a system password has been set, an authentication window will be displayed. You must enter the user name and system password before access will be granted.
