1.2 Setting up the SpeedTouch™
SpeedTouch™ variants Two ADSL variants of the SpeedTouch™ exist:
•The ADSL/POTS variant connecting to an analog POTS(*) line
•The ADSL/ISDN variant connecting to a digital ISDN(**) line
Use only the SpeedTouch™ variant which is appropriate for the DSL service provided
to your premises. Check with your Service Provider to determine whether your Speed-
Touch™ is adapted to ADSL service requirements.
(*) Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
(**) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
ADSL service The appropriate DSL service must be available at your premises:
•ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
•As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same
copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling
ADSL and telephone signals.
Always contact your Service Provider when installing splitters/filters!
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only install splitter/
filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose. Other splitter/filters may only be
installed by qualified service personnel.
Connect the DSL line The DSL port on the SpeedTouch™ is marked .
Use the DSL cable provided to wire the SpeedTouch™ DSL port to your telephone wall
outlet or distributed filter.
Connect the power
supply
Always check first whether the power supply adapter provided is suitable for the local
power specifications. Contact your Service Provider in case of any doubt.
The power inlet on the SpeedTouch™ is marked .
Plug the adapter's coaxial jack into the SpeedTouch™'s power inlet.
Turn on SpeedTouch™ As soon as the SpeedTouch™ is powered via its power inlet, the device starts up. If not
press the front panel power button once shortly.
