Local Network Setup
2 Local Network Setup
Ethernet network The Ethernet ports 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.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer’s Ethernet port to the one of the SpeedTouch™’s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™ to an external hub or switch.
Device settings Once you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings. For more
information, see “ Configure” on page 67.
Ethernet link check Depending on the SpeedTouch™ model, LED indicators allow you to check your
Ethernet. See “1.1 SpeedTouch™ LED Behaviour” on page 4 for more information.
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/ RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.

3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
Introduction If you want to set 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 is finished, immediate and uninterrupted WAN access is provided.
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.
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, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure PPPoE.
You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clients There are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.
If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in method: can be used on following
operating system:

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
Embedded PPP 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 17 to proceed.
Windows XP
you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client. See “3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent” on page 19 to proceed.
Broadband host PPPoE
dial-in clients
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 your computer runs ... you can use ...
Windows XP the Windows XP broadband dial-in client
Mac OS X a Mac OS X broadband dial-in client
a broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by you Service Provider
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, a Windows 95/ 98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application is mandatory.

2 Click Connect at the appropriate broadband connection.
The SpeedTouch™ embedded PPP dial-in client establishes the Internet connection.
3 Browse the Web.
Monitoring your
Internet connection
You can view and monitor your connection to the Internet as long as the session is running via:
The SpeedTouch™ System Information page: see “4.3.1 Information” on
page 30.
The SpeedTouch™ Diagnostics task: see “4.4.1 Connectivity Check” on
page 38.
You might be requested to enter your user name and password.

3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent
Introduction Windows XP users can easily establish PPP sessions, thanks to the Windows XP
Internet Gateway Device (IGD) Discovery and Control Client that allows you to control the SpeedTouch™ directly from you computer.
Preconditions Make sure that:
The following subcomponents of the Windows XP Networking Services are
added to your Windows XP system:
UPnP™ (see “ SpeedTouch™ not detected by UPnP™ or IGD Control
Client” on page 76).
IGD Discovery and Control Client (see “ Adding IGD Discovery and
Control” on page 77).
UPnP™ is enabled on your SpeedTouch™. To enable UPnP, see “4.5.2 Game &
Application Sharing” on page 44.
Starting an Internet
session
Proceed as follows to start an Internet session:
1 In the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2 Select (Settings >) Control Panel.
The Control Panel window appears.
3 Go to (Network and Internet Connections >) Network Connections.
The Network Connections window appears.
You will find an Internet Gateway icon, representing the SpeedTouch™ IGD Internet connection ability.
4 Double-click the Internet Connection icon.
The SpeedTouch™ embedded PPP dial-in client establishes the Internet connection. The Internet Gateway icon displays Connected and your computer is online.
5 Open a Web browser and surf the Internet.
The IGD Control Client only allows to connect or disconnect a fully configured connection.
