Once the SpeedTouch™ and the computers have been configured as outlined in section
"1.3 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup" on page
The SpeedTouch™ supports two access methods:
• D s
irect acces
Once the initial configuration has been performed, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
• D s
ial-in acces
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.
Regardless of whether a direct access or a dial-in access method is used to make your
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.
Your SpeedTouch™ offers a user-friendly web interface. Via the web pages you can
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.
