Introduction You can configure the LAN settings from here. The appearance of this page will differ
depending on your SpeedTouch operation mode:
Lan Settings page Use the LAN Settings page to configure the LAN IP address. In Access Point Mode, you
may choose to use a static address or to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
Note The device will automatically start up with its default static IP address,
10.0.0.140.
The LAN links page allows you to configure:
AP Name:
DNS name of the access point. (This naming feature is optional.)
Note Do not use spaces in the AP name.
IP Settings:
Selects a dynamic or fixed IP address.
Note This field will not be shown in Client Bridge mode.

Parameter Description
Client Bridge mode Click Basic Setting to set the Service Set ID (SSID) for your wireless network.
The SSID should be set to the same value as the wireless network that you wish to
connect to. It is case-sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
In Client Bridge ad hoc mode, the SSID of both devices needs to be consistent.
E-DOC-CTC-20040401-0003 v2.0

WEP basics Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP) relies on a secret key that is shared between the
wireless client and the Access Point. The fixed secret key is used to encrypt data before
they are transmitted. I.e. during transmission between client and access point (in the
air) the information in the packets is encrypted.

Client Bridge mode Click WEP Configuration to set the WEP mode and authentication type.
In Client Bridge mode, the WEP configuration page offers the same functionality as
in Access Point or Repeater mode but user must also choose the authentication type:
Open System:
All wireless clients using a correct SSID and WEP are able to authenticate. The
WEP key is only used to authenticate.
Shared Key:
Only wireless clients using a correct SSID and WEP key are able to authenticate.
The WEP key is used to authenticate and to encrypt/decrypt data.
Note Please consult the user documentation of your Access Point to find out
which authentication type to use. In most cases, the Open System type will
be used.

Availability The WPA Configuration page is only available in Access Point mode.
WPA: definition Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides state of the art security. This also means that
only recent wireless clients will have implemented WPA, and that older wireless clients
(without WPA) will not interoperate with the SpeedTouch180 at this security level.
The WPA standard specifies two modes of operation:
WPA Personal also know as WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), for residential use.
WPA Enterprise for business use. In this mode, authentication is done by a dedi-
cated authentication server, which is normally not available for residential use.
Note To implement WPA on wireless clients requires a WPA-enabled network
card driver and 802.1x client software that supports the EAP authentication
type that you want to use. Windows XP provides native WPA support,
other systems require additional software.
WPA Configuration Click WPA Configuration to configure your WPA settings. WPA is a stronger wire-
page less security solution than WEP. It uses a combination of 802.1x authentication and
broadcast/session keys.
Pre-Shared Key/Passphrase
If there is no authentication server on your local network, you can issue the Pre-
Shared Key to the clients that connect to the Wireless Access Point. Be sure to
use the same key for the Wireless Access Point and the connected clients.
WPA-PSK (manually)
E-DOC-CTC-20040401-0003 v2.0
25
WPA-PSK (automatically)
You must specify the authentication period, and the corresponding parameters in
the RADIUS Server Parameters field for the remote authentication protocol as
defined by the RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Port 1812 UDP port is used for RADIUS authentica-
tion messages.

Availability The Connection Control page is only available in Access Point mode.
To use MAC address filtering, you must enter a list of allowed client MAC addresses
into the filtering table. When enabled only the MAC addresses entered will have access
to your network. All other devices will be denied access to your network.

Repeater Settings Click this link to display the Repeater Settings page:
In Repeater mode, the SpeedTouch sends out a signal to check for other devices
using the same channel on the network. The available devices are then shown in the
Repeater Settings table.
