Local Network Setup

2.1 Wired Ethernet

Local network The Ethernet ports on the backpanel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with 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 one procedure of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.

The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™ to an external hub or switch.

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

Device settings Once you’ve connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings.

For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 19.

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.

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