1.2.3 Access via FTP

To access the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
File system
To open an FTP session

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

Restore or back up configuration files, templates or language packs.

Upgrade your configuration.

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

Proceed as follows:

1 Open a Command Prompt window.

In Microsoft Windows XP for instance:

1On the Windows taskbar, click Start.

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

2At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™ (192.168.1.254 by default).

3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.

The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.

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 (download).

The root directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to start correctly

the dl directory

The dl 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.

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

In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/

RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.

Standard wiring Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer’s Ethernet port to the procedure 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.

Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.

Device settings Once you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings. For more information, see “ Configure” on page 70.

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.

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

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.

If you have 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, 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.

Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

Embedded PPP dial-in clients

Broadband host PPPoE 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.

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.

3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages

Introduction

Starting an Internet

session

As the SpeedTouch™ Web pages are controllable from any Operating System with an installed Web browser, the method to establish PPP sessions described later, can be used on any computer system.

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

Proceed as follows to start an Internet session:

1Open a Web browser on your computer and browse to the SpeedTouch™ Web pages (see “1.2.1 Access via the Web Interface” on page 6 for more information).

The SpeedTouch™ home page appears by default.

2 Click Connect at the appropriate broadband connection.

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

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.
