3.2 Web-Based Easy Setup

Easy Setup With help of the Easy Setup, your Internet connection is set up in a few clicks. The Easy Setup is operating system independent.

Preconditions Make sure that:

Your SpeedTouch™ is correctly setup and turned on.

Your PC is connected to the SpeedTouch™ using wired or wireless Ethernet. In the latter case, a wireless client adapter has to be installed on your PC and correctly configured to connect to your SpeedTouch™.

Your host PC is configured as DHCP client or is configured with a valid fixed IP address.

in case of problems, you can give the host PC a fixed IP address in the same subnet as your SpeedTouch™ (If the SpeedTouch™ is in its default

settings, that is an address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253). In case you use fixed IP addresses, the SpeedTouch™ has to be configured as DNS server (default).

Your web browser is not using a proxy server. For more information, see “ Disable proxy server” on page 40.

If you’re not redirected automatically, go to “ Launching the Easy Setup wizard” on page 26
