If you want to set up initial Internet connectivity using the Home Install Wizard on
the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and
Setup Guide.
Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
Direct access:
As soon as the initial configuration is finished, immediate and uninterrupted
WAN access is provided.
If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in access:
Access must be explicitly established, that is by "dialling" into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
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.
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. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure
PPPoE.
You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
There are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.
