Introduction

Starting an Internet session

Monitoring your Internet connection

As the SpeedTouch™ web pages are controllable from any Operating System with an installed web browser, the method to establish PPP sessions described below you can use on any computer system.

For more information on Internet connection setup, see the provided Installation and Setup Guide.

Proceed as follows:

1Open a web browser on your computer and browse to the SpeedTouch™ web pages (see “1.3.1 Access via the Web Interface” on page 10 for more information):

By default the SpeedTouch™ shows you the Home page.

2Click Connect at the appropriate broadband connection.

You might be requested to enter your user name and password.

As a result SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client establishes the Internet connection.

3Now you can surf the Internet.

You are able to overview and monitor your Internet connectivity as long as the session is running via:

The SpeedTouch™ System Information page: see “4.3.1 Information” on page 40.

The SpeedTouch™ Diagnostics task: see “4.4.1 Connectivity Check” on page 49.
