1.3.1Access via the Web Interface
ProcedureTo access the SpeedTouch™ via the web interface:
1Open a web browser.
2In the address bar type your SpeedTouch™’s IP address or DNS host name, by
default that is ‘http://speedtouch.lan’ or ‘192.168.1.254’.
You can access the pages via the http protocol. For remote assistance
the secure version, https, in combination with certificates is used;
provide your ISP with the https link, user name and password before
he can log on to the pages. For more information, see “1.3.4 Remote
Assistance” on page 16.
3As a result the SpeedTouch™ Home page appears, from where you can navigate
to all the configurable aspects of the SpeedTouch™.

1.3.2Access via CLI
Chapter 1
Your SpeedTouch™
Command Line
Interface (CLI)
You can access the Command Line Interface (CLI) via:
A Telnet session
This requires that TCP/IP connectivity exists between the host from which the
Telnet session is opened and the SpeedTouch™. Your SpeedTouch™ and the
connected PC must have an IP address in the same subnet.
Quote site commands (over FTP)
For more information, see “ Quote site command” on page 15.
For information on CLI commands, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide.
2At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™
(default is 192.168.1.254).
3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.
The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.
4The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:
File system structureThe structure of the file system is very simple: It consists of a single root directory
called root and a subdirectory called dl.
The root directory contains:
all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly
the dl directory
The dl (download) directory contains the software image.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl
subdirectory.

Ethernet networkThe Ethernet port on the back panel of your SpeedTouch™ allows you to connect the
SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet network or to a computer
with installed Ethernet card.
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/RJ45 Ethernet cable is included.
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer’s Ethernet port to the
SpeedTouch™’s Ethernet port.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire the Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™
to an external hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
3Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
IntroductionFor setting up initial Internet connectivity, using the Home Install Wizard on the
Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and Setup
Guide.
Access methodsDepending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
Direct access:
As soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and uninterrupted
WAN access is provided.
In case of direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in access:
Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via the
SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with
embedded PPP client.
Chapter 3
Connection protocolsThe applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected to
configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s
requirements. If your ISP provides PPPoE for instance, you should configure PPPoE.
More information on connection protocols can be found in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clientsThere are different ways of dialling in, depending on the operating system on your PC
and your preferences.

dial-in clients
The SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet
connection for computers residing on your local network, using only one computer of
the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
Any Operating System
you can always use the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
See “3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 21 to proceed.
MS Windows XP
you can use MS Windows XP’s Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See “3.2 IGD Control Agent” on page 23 to proceed.
You can also connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application.
The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behaviour over
the virtual Ethernet segment.
To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting to
the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or Routed
PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard on the Setup CD
or the embedded Easy Setup.
If this computer runs:
MS Windows XP
you can use the MS Windows XP broadband dial-in client. See “3.3 MS
Windows XP BroadBand Connection” on page 25 for more information.
Mac OS X
you can use a Mac OS X broadband dial-in client. See “3.4 Mac OS X PPPoE
Dial-in Client” on page 29 for more information.
- or -
A broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by your Service Provider to connect
to the Internet
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the
latter method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS 8.6/9.x, an MS
Windows 95/98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in
application is mandatory.
