First-time wireless

client configuration

For a successful association the wireless client must be correctly configured for:

•

the default WEP encryption

•

the default Network Name.
As the SpeedTouch™ broadcasts its SSID to the wireless clients, you can select 
the SpeedTouch™ wireless network (e.g. SpeedTouch012345) from a list of avail-
able networks.
Depending on your wireless client a wireless icon may become green or a 
message similar to the following may pop up: “Successfully joined Wireless 
network SpeedTouch012345".

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