Welcome to the Speed Touch Wireless
Welcome to the Alcatel Speed TouchWireless Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line (ADSL) router.
With the Alcatel Speed TouchWireless ADSL router, surfing the Internet, downloading
files and interconnecting computer networks become a whole new experience.
With download speeds up to 8 Mega bits per seconds (Mbps) the Speed Touch
Wireless is around 200 times faster than present day modems. This superior Alcatel ADSL
technology outperforms all similar products on the market.
Your Speed TouchWireless provides the brandĆnew Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology.
With Speed TouchWireless's WLAN solution, users can access other members of your
(W)LAN, and surf the Internet, without using any wire to connect.
Users are not bound to a fixed location in the building anymore, and enlarging the
network can happen without the need of expensive wiring installation.
Next to the ADSL router part, for the management of your wired and/or Wireless Ethernet
environment, your Speed TouchWireless features also a complete toolbox for excellent
Local Area Network (LAN) performance. Among others the most important are a DNS
server, a DHCP server, IP Routing. On top, a programmable firewall allows you to shield
your local network from the Wide Area Network (WAN) and to protect your resources from
intruders.

1.2.1 What you Need
ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
You need a central splitter, or distributed filters for decoupling
ADSL, and telephone signals.
For more information, refer to Appendix B.
For wireless LAN connectivity:
"The (portable) PCs, intended to be connected via the
STWireless need a WLAN networking adapter (WLANĆNIC).

Spectrum (DSSS)
"WECA WiĆFi certified to ensure smooth interoperability.
To use the 10BaseĆT Ethernet port you need at least:
"One PC with an Ethernet 10BaseĆT PCĆNetwork Interface
Card (NIC) installed.
"For local networking, a 10BaseĆT hub (if needed), and the
necessary connection cables.
For local configuration via HTTP/HTML, you need:
"A TCP/IP protocol suite

1.2.2 STWireless Connections
"The ADSL Port (Line)
"The Power Port (DC).
After performing these steps you can turn on your STWireless.
Proceed then with connecting:
"Your LAN clients
"Optionally the Ethernet Port (10BaseĆT)
Use the included ADSL cable to wire the STWireless's Line port to
your ADSL wall outlet.
Refer to section 2.2 for more information.
Only use the included power adapter to source your STWireless.
The STWireless should be operated only from the type of power
source, indicated on its marking label.
Refer to section 2.3 for more information.
If you are not sure of the regional power conditions, check the
adapter's specifications in section F.3, and your local power

"Preconditions:
Make sure your STWireless is turned on and finished its
Power On Self Test (POST).
The (portable) PCs, intended to be connected to the
STWireless, must have a LAN adapter readily installed,
and must be configured as DHCP client.
"Joining the STWireless WLAN network
As soon as the LAN adapter detected the presence of the
STWireless LAN network, you must push the 'WLAN' button
on the STWireless's back panel to allow the LAN adapter
to join the STWireless LAN network.
Repeat this procedure for each (portable) PC you want to join
the STWireless LAN network.
Refer to section 3.1 for more information.
Next to the LAN clients, a 10BaseĆT Ethernet port on the back
panel of the STWireless allows wired Ehternet connectivity.
Use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's Ethernet port to
STWireless's Ethernet interface.
Refer to section 3.3 for more information.
There is no difference between wired Ethernet and LAN
connections for the STWireless, i.e. all network configurations are
equally valid for both.
Therefore, both are referred to as ( )LAN.
Refer to section 3.3 for more information.
