Registering clients via association button

32

You can easily register new wireless network clients as follows:

Push the Association / on the SpeedTouch™front panel for at least two seconds. The WLAN LED will toggle between green and red.

The ACL will be unlocked for a time frame of one minute. Any new wireless client successfully attempting to connect to the SpeedTouch™ (having the correct wireless settings, that is the network name and, if required, the network key) within the time frame of one minute, will be added to the table. The SpeedTouch™ automatically saves your current configuration at the end of the registration phase.

Some WLAN clients do not automatically join a WLAN. If so, follow the instructions for the WLAN client software to initiate the association.

1Successfully registered stations are associated to the SpeedTouch™ WLAN. Depending on your WLAN client adapter, a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may appear: “Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch123456”.

2The wireless clients will be added to the SpeedTouch™ ACL.

3After one minute the ACL is locked.

The registration procedure can be repeated as often as needed.
