SpeedTouch 716 WL Broadband Phone Router - Setup Guide

Microfilter - Sometimes called splitters. You need to ensure that all the devices connected to your phone line are filtered in order for broadband to work correctly. If you’re not sure how to fit the microfilters - look at the "Wiring and Filters" tutorial, available at http://usertools.plus.net/tutorials/

Before you start
If you have another broadband modem installed on your computer it must be uninstalled before continuing.

Make sure your broadband account has been activated and that you have your account username and password available.

This guide will get you started quickly. For more information, read the documents provided on the accompanying Setup CD.

1 Attach the DSL cable. One end plugs into the router port labelled DSL. The other end plugs into one of the supplied microfilters.

2 Plug the microfilter into your telephone socket. Any equipment removed to make way for the filter can be plugged into the extra phone socket on the filter.

3 Plug the Ethernet (yellow) cable into any of the 4 Ethernet ports, and the other end of the cable into your PC Ethernet port.

4 Connect the power supply to the router power socket and plug into a mains socket that is switched on.

5 Plug your telephone handset into one of two green-coloured ports labelled Phone. You may need to use one of the RJ11 (white) adapters in order to plug your telephone into the router.

6 In order to use the telephone to make regular (not VoIP) calls you must connect the (white) PSTN socket to the Phone socket on the microfilter. Without this cable attached you will not be able to make calls when the router is not powered.

7 Push in the ON/OFF button to turn on the router. The power light will indicate when the router is on. This may take up to a minute to light up.

8 The DSL light will flash green as the router attempts to connect to your broadband account. The DSL light will stop flashing when a connection is made.

9 Place the installation CD into your computer, you should be taken to the router's built-in configuration screens through your browser. This guide assumes that you will setup your broadband using an Ethernet connection. Your PC should be setup to obtain an IP address automatically.

Learn how to check this in our network guide.

10 If this does not occur, you can access the configuration screens by opening your browser and going to either www.speedtouch.lan or http://192.168.1.254

Access to your router settings is protected with a username and password. By default the username is Administrator, the password is blank. You can change these later to secure your settings from tampering. Next select "Easy Setup" from the menu.

11 Select service. This will determine if you wish to setup just your broadband connection or your VoIP/Broadband Phone access as well. If you already have your Broadband Phone account active, select Router (1-line), otherwise select Router (no lines), you return later to add your VoIP settings. Select Next to continue.

Enter your broadband username and password. Note that your broadband username is different from your account username.
Broadband Login Username: username@plusdsl.net
When completed click "Next"

12 Your SpeedTouch 716 WL Broadband Phone Router is equipped with 4 Ethernet ports. This allows you to use the router with computers that do not have wireless access equipment such as the Wireless PCI Device BT Voyager 1040. This feature also provides you with a networking option for devices such as game consoles that may not support wireless technology.

13 If you selected Router (1-line) service at the beginning you will be asked for your VoIP settings. If you selected Router (No-line) you will have completed setup and will be connected to the Internet. If you wish to setup Broadband Phone/VoIP later you can edit them in the Telephony section of the configuration screens.

14 You should complete your Broadband Phone / VoIP service settings as follows:

Broadband Phone/VoIP settings
Registrar: sip.plus.net
Proxy Server: sip.plus.net
Registrar Port: 5060
Proxy Port: 5060
Expire Time: 3600
SIP URI: Your Broadband Phone SIP / VoIP Telephone number eg 123456
Username: Your Broadband Phone Username / VoIP username eg 123456
Password: Your password

Read the Broadband Phone Settings page for more details.

15 For all your changes to take effect you should restart your router. To do this you can go to the SpeedTouch Section of your router configuration screen and select "Restart" from the "Pick a task…" options.

16 Congratulations - SpeedTouch 716WL is now connected to your broadband account. If you completed stage 14 it will also be set up to make and receive phone calls using Broadband Phone, or similar VoIP service.

Wireless Settings
Setup of a wireless connection between your PC and the router can be accomplished using the Home Install Wizard, available on the CD. You will be asked to input the serial number of your router, which you will find written on the bottom of the unit.

Once the router has been successfully detected, you can access it using the procedure described in stage 10. It is strongly recommended that you read the user guide for information about setting up wireless security.
