This chapter provides information on how to configure your SpeedTouch™
according to your preferences and how to access the Internet.
As soon as the SpeedTouch™ and your computers have been configured as
outlined in "1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup" on page
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.
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.
As mentioned, as soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and
uninterrupted WAN access is provided.
In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name
and password on an Internet welcome page.
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 28 for more information.
A broadband dial-in application on your computer.
See "2.2 Connect to the Internet via a Host PPPoE Dial-in Client" on page 33
