1.4 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

Surfing the Internet Once the SpeedTouch™ and the computers have been configured as outlined in section “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 13, you can connect to the Internet.

Access methods The SpeedTouch™ supports two access methods:

•Direct access

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

•Dial-in access

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 Regardless of whether a 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 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 Your SpeedTouch™ offers a user-friendly web interface. Via the web pages you can pages 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.

See chapter “2 SpeedTouch™ Web Interface” on page 23 for more information.
