4 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 “3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 23, you are able to connect to the WAN or Internet.
Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
•Direct access
As soon as the initial configuration has been done, continuous and immediate access is available via the DSL line.
•
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.
Direct access As mentioned, as soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and uninterrupted WAN access is provided.
Note In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.
More information on these “stateless” connection protocols can be found in the application note “SpeedTouch™ Connection and Packet Services”, available at www.speed- touch.com.
