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.

Chapter 3

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 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.

Standard: to protect your network from all incoming (from untrusted site) connection requests while permitting safe outgoing connections. This is the default.

Disabled: to allow all incoming and outgoing traffic. This does not mean the complete SpeedTouch??? firewall is disabled. It means all traffic coming in on one interface and going out on another is allowed, but access to the embedded services of the SpeedTouch??? (as telnet, web interface,...) is only allowed for clients residing on the LAN side, so the SpeedTouch??? itself stays protected.

This chapter describes how to upgrade the SpeedTouch??? system software or firmware.

For the availability of new system software version packages you can:

Click the SpeedTouch Maintenance link, available on the Setup CD menu.

Check for SpeedTouch??? upgrades at http://www.speedtouch.com/upgrade.

All system software packages for the SpeedTouch??? are digitally signed and encrypted. Packages that may have become corrupted, or been altered in any way, will not be accepted by the SpeedTouch???.

This way the SpeedTouch??? or its service can never be corrupted or lost.

System software upgrades

Depending on the Operating System your computer is running, you can upgrade your SpeedTouch??? via:

The SpeedTouch??? Upgrade Wizard (Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X); see ???5.1 Upgrade Wizard on Setup CD??? on page 82 for more information.

Preliminary steps Before you start with upgrading the SpeedTouch???, always make sure:

To inform all people relying on the SpeedTouch??? services, that service may be down for some short period.
