1.5 SpeedTouch™570 Internet Connectivity

Surfing the Internet Once the SpeedTouch™570 and the PC(s) are configured as outlined in section “1.4 SpeedTouch™570 Configuration Setup” on page 18, you can connect to the Internet.

Access methods The SpeedTouch™570 supports two access methods:

•Direct access

Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate access is available via the DSL line.

•Dial-in access

Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by “dialing” into a Remote Access Server (RAS), e.g. via the SpeedTouch™570 embedded PPP dial-in connections page.

Note The dial-in access service may require a third party dial-in application. In this case the appropriate software has to be supplied by your Service Provider.

The method used depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the SpeedTouch™570 and the Service Provider's requirements.

Your Internet Regardless of whether the direct access or a dial-in access method is used to make your connection 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 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™570 embedded dial-in client is provided on the next page.

The SpeedTouch™570 Your SpeedTouch™570 offers a user-friendly web interface. Via the web pages you are web pages able to establish dial-in connections, configure some advanced settings, e.g. the Speed-

Touch™570 DNS server or NAPT server or overview the WLAN configuration and settings, some statistics of your SpeedTouch™570 itself and its ADSL connectivity, etc.
