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