2 SpeedTouch™610 Internet Connectivity
Introduction This chapter provides information on how to access the Internet and how to configure
your SpeedTouch™ according to your preferences.
Surfing the Internet As soon as the SpeedTouch™610 and the computer(s) have been configured as outlined
in “1.3 SpeedTouch™610 Configuration Setup” on page 10, you can connect to the
Internet.
Connection Services
and Packet Services
The SpeedTouch™610 supports various scenarios to establish end-to-end connectivity
with the BroadBand Remote Access Server (BBRAS) and the Internet.
For more information, see the application note “SpeedTouch™ Connection and Packet
Services”.
The scenario to use depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the
SpeedTouch™610 and the Service Provider's requirements.
Direct Access In case the SpeedTouch™610 is configured for direct access (always-on or dial-on-
demand) you can immediately surf the internet.
Note In some cases however, e.g. in case of Transparent Bridging, the remote
organization still might ask for a user name and password on an Internet
welcome page for authentication.
Dial-in access In case the SpeedTouch™610 is configured for dial-in access, you can manually start and
terminate the PPP session. On the following pages, we explain how to start/terminate a
PPP session via:
• UPnP.
See “2.1.1 Internet Sessions via Windows XP’s UPnP” on page 25
• The SpeedTouch™610 web pages.
See “2.1.2 Internet Sessions via the SpeedTouch™ Web Pages (all OSs)” on
page 26.
