About the web browser
With the web browser feature, you can provide visual proof to customers that a circuit is correctly
provisioned all the way to the Internet. The browser works over both DSL and Ethernet interfaces,
allowing you to verify connectivity from the customer's NID or demarcation point using only the
SmartClass Triple Play Services.
Because the browser's primary purpose is to demonstrate connectivity, it does not have all the
capabilities of typical web browsers, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator (for example,
viewing online video, or viewing secure http “https” sites).
The following sections in this chapter describe how to access and use the web browser.
Browsing the web
Like IP ping, you must have an established underlying network connection, such as Ethernet TE
mode with PPPoE data mode, before you can use the browser. After you have a successful network
connection, the Frame LED turns green. If the Frame LED is off, the underlying connection is not
ready, and the web browser (and IP ping) will not work.
To browse the web
1 Select an interface (Ethernet TE, Wi-Fi, DSL-Bridge, or DSL-Modem/Router), and then select
Web Browser.
The Web Browser Setup menu appears.
2 Specify the web site address (URL) where you wish to go.
3 Select Go.
You are browsing the web.
Navigating the browser
Use the SmartClass TPS keypad to navigate the web browser. The following sections describe how
to use keypad to navigate the web browser.
Scrolling the view
Because of the size of the screen, the SmartClass TPS initially displays only the top left section of
a full page. To view other areas of a web page, use the arrow keys to scroll the page view.
NOTE:
The web browser is only available in IPv4 modes (not available in IPv6).
