1.3.3 Access via FTP

File Transfer Protocol

(FTP)

You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), in order to:

Restore or backup configuration files, templates or language packs. Upgrade your configuration or firmware.

File system The SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on nonvolatile memory, and contains the SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.

FTP session To open an FTP session:

1 Open a Command Prompt window. In Windows XP for instance:

1On the Windows task bar, click Start.

2Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

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.

4 The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:

File system structure The 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.

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.

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.

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 23 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 25 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 27 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 31 for more information.
