2.2.2 Connecting Wireless Clients for the First Time

Wireless default settings

After every Reset-to-Defaults, the SpeedTouch™ wireless access point configuration is returned to its initial default settings.

These default settings are:

Security level is low (security disabled) for an easy first use, meaning the data will not be encrypted. Wireless security settings are described in

“2.2.3 Wireless Security” on page 22.

This default network name (SSID) is printed on the identification label located on the bottom of your SpeedTouch™ and is unique for each device. It consists of the concatenation of the word “SpeedTouch” and 6 hexadecimal characters, without any spaces, for example SpeedTouch123456.

The SpeedTouch™ is broadcasting its network name (SSID).

The radio channel number is set to ‘automatically scan for the best radio channel’.

Registration is not activated. New stations are allowed automatically. The Access Control List is open and empty. No wireless client will be denied access to the SpeedTouch™ based on its physical hardware address.

The default wireless settings may differ from the settings listed above

! depending on your Service Provider’s requirements. If this is the case, refer to the installation/configuration instructions provided by your Service Provider.

To prepare wireless clients for the first time

To configure wireless clients for the first time

Make sure that:

The SpeedTouch™ is turned on and ready for service.

The SpeedTouch™ is in its default configuration.

If necessary, reset the SpeedTouch™ to its default configuration (See “5.3 Reset to Factory Defaults” on page 99 for more information).

A wireless client adapter is installed on your computer.

The wireless client adapter’s IP configuration is set to dynamically obtain its IP configuration (DHCP) - this is usually the default. For more information, see the documentation of your wireless client adapter.

The wireless client must be correctly configured for the default network name. As the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its network name to the wireless clients, you can select the SpeedTouch™ wireless network from a list of available networks. Depending on your wireless client a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may appear: “Successfully joined Wireless network SpeedTouch123456”.

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