Local Network Setup

2 Local Network Setup

Ethernet network The 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.

Local Network Setup

Device settings Once you’ve connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings:

1 Go to the SpeedTouch™ web pages.

2 In the menu select Home Network > Devices.

3 Click the name of your device, or if the device’s settings haven’t been

personalised yet, click the MAC address of the device.

4 On the top right, click Configure.

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

Introduction For 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 methods Depending 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 protocols The 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 clients There are different ways of dialling in, depending on the operating system on your PC

and your preferences.

Dial-in method: can be used on

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.

3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages

Introduction As the SpeedTouch™ web pages are controllable from any Operating System with an

installed web browser, the method to establish PPP sessions described below you can use on any computer system.

For more information on Internet connection setup, see the provided Installation and Setup Guide.

Starting an Internet

session

Proceed as follows:

1 Open a web browser on your computer and browse to the SpeedTouch™ web

pages (see “1.3.1 Access via the Web Interface” on page 10 for more information):

Monitoring your

Internet connection

E-DOC-CTC-20050429-0098 v1.0

By default the SpeedTouch™ shows you the Home page.

2 Click Connect at the appropriate broadband connection.

You might be requested to enter your user name and password.

As a result SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client establishes the Internet connection.

3 Now you can surf the Internet.

You are able to overview and monitor your Internet connectivity as long as the session is running via:
