2.2 Connecting the Hardware
Wiring The figure below shows all possible types of connection to the SpeedTouch™.
Proceed as follows:
1 Use the grey DSL cable to wire the SpeedTouch™ DSL port to your telephone
wall outlet or distributed filter.
2 Plug in the coaxial jack from the electric power supply adapter into the
SpeedTouch™‘18VAC’ port and the other end to the wall outlet.
3 During the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard, you will be asked to make one of
following connections:
 Connect the yellow RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the yellow Ethernet port on
your SpeedTouch™ and the other end to the computer’s Ethernet port.
 Connect the blue USB cable to the blue USB port on your SpeedTouch™
and the other end to the computer’s USB port.
 For wireless networking, plug a wireless card or adapter in your computer.
The colour coded printing on the backpanel of your SpeedTouch™ will
facilitate matching the colour coded cables.
If you will run the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard, as described in
“3.1 SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard” on page 12, it is
recommended to wait to make these connections until the wizard will
ask you to do so.
