2.1 Ethernet Connection Setup

Local network

The SpeedTouch™ Ethernet ports on the back panel allow you to connect the Speed-
Touch™ to an existing 10 or 100Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) 
computer(s) with installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of up 
to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.

In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ45/RJ45 
Ethernet cable is included to connect a single computer to your Speed-
Touch™.

Standard wiring

procedure

Use the Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to one of the 
SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
If you intend to extend an existing local network, you can use the yellow Ethernet cable 
included to wire any Ethernet port of an external Ethernet hub or switch to one of the 
SpeedTouch™’s Ethernet ports.

If an external hub or switch is used for Ethernet networking, please follow 
the installation instructions supplied with the hub or switch for connections 
and Ethernet cabling.
