Introducing the SpeedTouch™
SpeedTouch™ Setup CD Your SpeedTouch™ comes with a Setup CD.
If you insert the CD into a Microsoft Windows PC or Mac OS X computer:
The first time, an intuitive SpeedTouch™ Quick-Install Wizard will guide you
through the hardware setup of your SpeedTouch™ and will help you to
connect to the Internet.
See “2.2 Installing your SpeedTouch™” on page 7 for more information.
For future reference, the SpeedTouch™ CD Menu provides links to all contents
See “2.3 The SpeedTouch™ Setup CD” on page 18 for more information.
If you use another operating system, a set of subdirectories allows you to easily
browse for user documentation, SpeedTouch™ system software, service templates,
etc.
SpeedTouch™ Home Install
Wizard
The SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard has been designed to help you on the
Internet very quickly.
First, the wizard tries to detect your SpeedTouch™. As soon as you have connected
your SpeedTouch™ to your computer, the wizard configures your SpeedTouch™
and - if necessary - your computer.
The Home Install Wizard was designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems
and Mac OS X - in the latter case provided you use a wired connection to your
SpeedTouch™.
You can start the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard:
Automatically from the SpeedTouch™ Quick-Install Wizard when you insert
the SpeedTouch™ Setup CD into a computer for the first time.
See “2.2 Installing your SpeedTouch™” on page 7 for more information.
From the SpeedTouch™ CD Menu Home page, via Run Quick Installation. This
will in fact re-run the Quick-Install Wizard and subsequently start the Home
Install Wizard as if you started the Setup CD for the first time.
From the SpeedTouch™ CD Menu Maintenance page, via Reconfigure my
SpeedTouch™.
If you do not want to use the guided installation procedure, you can also
install and configure your SpeedTouch™ manually. See “2.2.2 Manual
Installation” on page 16 for more information.
