Introduction For setting up initial Internet connectivity, using the Home Install Wizard on the

Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and Setup

Guide.

Access methods Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have: Direct access:

As soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and uninterrupted WAN access is provided.

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

Dial-in access:

Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS).

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.

Connection protocols 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. If your ISP provides PPPoE for instance, you should configure PPPoE.

More information on connection protocols can be found in the Internet Connection Configuration Guide.
