Preconditions
Make sure that:
The SpeedTouch™ is turned on and ready for service.
The SpeedTouch™ has been configured as DHCP server (default).
The wireless client adapters have been installed on all the computers you
want to connect to the WLAN.
Security issues
Depending on the personalised wireless settings:
Make sure you use the same encryption or security level on the client as
on your SpeedTouch™. If for instance WPA-PSK is enabled on the
SpeedTouch™, you must also configure the wireless client to use WPA-
PSK and configure the same WPA-PSK pass phrase.
If the Network Name (SSID) is not broadcast, you must configure the
wireless client for the SpeedTouch™ Network Name. Refer to the
documentation of your wireless client for more information.
If the SpeedTouch™ ACL settings are set to:
New stations are allowed (automatically), your device can access the
SpeedTouch™ WLAN without additional configuration.
New stations are allowed (via registration), you have to register your
wireless client(s).For more information, see
.
New stations are not allowed, you have to search for wireless client(s)
using the SpeedTouch™ web pages, see
.
