2 SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity

2.1 Surfing the Internet

Introduction As soon as the SpeedTouch™ and the computers have been configured as outlined in “1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup” on page 7, you can connect to the Internet.

Access methods 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 method used depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the

SpeedTouch™ and 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 “2.2 Connect to the Internet via SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP client.” on page 23 for more information.

•A broadband dial-in application on your computer.

See “2.3 Connect to the Internet via a Broadband Dial-in Client” on page 26 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.
