1.4 Alcatel Speed Touch 510 Internet Connectivity
As soon as the AST510 and the PC(s) are configured according the
previous section, you are able to establish connectivity to the Internet.
The AST510 supports two access methods:
Direct access
Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
Dialin access
Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by dialing" into
a Remote Access Server (RAS), e.g. via the AT510 embedded PPP
dialin connections page.
Note: This service may require a third party dialin application. In this
case the appropriate software has to be supplied by your Service Provider.
The method to use depends on the configuration profile/file you used to
configure the AST510 and the Service Provider's requirements.
Regardless whether a direct access or a dialin 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)
Internet.
Note: In some cases, e.g. in case of Transparent Bridging,
the remote
organization might ask for a user name and password on an
Internet welcome page.
An example of how to establish a PPP dialin connection via the
AST510 embedded dialin client is provided on the next page.
Your AST510 offers a userfriendly web interface. Via the web pages
you are able to establish dialin connections, configure some advanced
settings, e.g. AST510's DNS server or NAPT server and overview some
statistics of your AST510 itself and its ADSL connectivity.
