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 “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 11, you are able to connect to the Internet.

Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:

Direct access

As soon as the initial configuration has been performed, continuous and imme- diate 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).

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.

Dial-in access 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.

See “2.1 Internet Connections via SpeedTouch™’s Embedded PPP Dial-in Client.” on page 24 for more information.

A broadband dial-in client on your computer.

See “2.2 Connect to the Internet via a Host PPPoE Dial-in Client” on page 29 for more information.

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