1.5 SpeedTouch™570 Internet Connectivity
Surfing the Internet Once the SpeedTouch™570 and the PC(s) are configured as outlined in section
“1.4 SpeedTouch™570 Configuration Setup” on page 18 , you can connect to the
Internet.
Access methods The SpeedTouch™570 supports two access methods:
• Direct access
Once initial configuration is 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 Remote Access
Server (RAS), e.g. via the SpeedTouch™570 embedded PPP dial-in connections
page.
Note The dial-in access service may require a third party dial-in application. In this
case the appropriate software has to be supplied by your Service Provider.
The method used depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the
SpeedTouch™570 and the Service Provider's requirements.
Your Internet
connection
Regardless of whether the 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 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™570
embedded dial-in client is provided on the next page.
The SpeedTouch™ 570
web pages
Your SpeedTouch™570 offers a user-friendly web interface. Via the web pages you are
able to establish dial-in connections, configure some advanced settings, e.g. the Speed-
Touch™570 DNS server or NAPT server or overview the WLAN configuration and
settings, some statistics of your SpeedTouch™570 itself and its ADSL connectivity, etc.
