2 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

Introduction

This chapter provides information on how to configure your SpeedTouch™ according 
to your preferences and how to access the Internet.

Access methods

As soon as the SpeedTouch™ and your computers have been configured as outlined in 

, you are able to connect to the 

Internet.
Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have: 

•

D

irect access

As soon as the initial configuration has been performed, continuous and imme-
diate access is available via the DSL line.

•

D

ial-in access

Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by “dialing” into a Broadband Remote 
Access Server (BRAS).

The applied connection protocol model depends on the Service profile you selected to 
configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider's 
requirements.

Dial-in access

Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via:

•

The SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with 
embedded PPP client.
See 

 for more information.

•

A broadband dial-in client on your computer.
See 

 for 

more information.

Your Internet

connection

Regardless of whether a direct access or a dial-in access method is used to make your 
connection, once the connection is established, opening your web browser is enough to 
access the World Wide Web (WWW) or Internet.

In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name 
and password on an Internet welcome page.
