2.1 Wired Ethernet

Local network

The Ethernet ports on the backpanel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an
existing 10 or 100 Base-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.

Standard wiring

procedure

Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to one
of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™
to an external hub or switch.

Device settings

Once you’ve connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings.

Managed Ethernet

switch

Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN,
using priority queuing to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first and
in real-time. This feature maximizes your network performance.
You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more
information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).

In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/RJ-
45 Ethernet cable is included.

Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
