1 SpeedTouch™ Installation

1.4 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

Surfing the Internet

Once the SpeedTouch™ and the computers have been configured as outlined in section 

, you can connect to the Internet.

Access methods

The SpeedTouch™ supports two access methods: 

•

D

irect acces

s

Once the initial configuration has been performed, continuous and immediate 
access is available via the DSL line.

•

D

ial-in acces

s

Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by “dialing” into a Broadband Remote 
Access Server (BRAS), e.g. via the SpeedTouch™ Connect web page.

Note: This service may require a third-party dial-in application. In this case the 
appropriate software must be supplied by your Service Provider.

The method used depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the 
SpeedTouch™ and the Service Provider's requirements.

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.
Note: In some cases, e.g. in the case of Bridged Ethernet, the remote organization might 
ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.
An example of how to establish a PPP dial-in connection via the SpeedTouch™ 
embedded dial-in client is provided on the next page.

SpeedTouch™ web

pages

Your SpeedTouch™ offers a user-friendly web interface. Via the web pages you can 
establish dial-in connections, configure some advanced settings, e.g. SpeedTouch™'s 
DNS server or NAPT server and view statistics relating to the SpeedTouch™ itself and 
its ADSL connectivity.
