You can establish dial-in connections, pre-configured by the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard
or by uploading the appropriate configuration file.
The SpeedTouch™ supports both two most popular connection methods: Routed PPP
over ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
The connection method to use depends on the preferences of your ISP, hence the
configuration profile you must apply to the SpeedTouch™
Note: The following description provides only an example of how you can establish
Internet connectivity by starting Routed PPP connections. The SpeedTouch™ supports
various other methods for Internet access. The actual implementation depends on the
preferences of your Service Provider.

Step Action
1 Open a web browser on your PC/computer and browse to the SpeedTouch™
web pages:

tions web page.

In the Interface column select the entry you want to start a session with. As a
result the entry will be highlighted.

fields. If you want the SpeedTouch™ to remember your credentials, select
'Save this password'.
5 Click Connect.
While the SpeedTouch™ tries to start the session 'trying' appears in the State
column of the entry. Once the session is started successfully the field displays
'up'. From then on you are online and you can start your application or
