Make sure both your computer and your SpeedTouchTM are turned on and operational. In the SpeedTouchTM package, a blue USB cable is included to connect a single computer to your SpeedTouchTM. E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 15 Chapter 2 Local Network Setup To install Windows USB drivers The first time you connect the SpeedTouchTM to your computer through the USB port, you will be prompted for a USB driver as soon as you plug the USB cable into the computer. You can find the required USB driver software on the Setup CD. The installation is Plug and Play, meaning that installation requires almost no effort. Proceed as follows: 1 Insert the blue USB cable into the SpeedTouchTM USB port marked with the USB logo: A USB logo looks like this: 2 Insert the other end of the USB cable into (one of) the USB port(s) of your computer. In most cases your computer's USB port is marked with the same USB symbol. You can also connect your computer to the SpeedTouchTM via a USB hub. Microsoft Windows will automatically recognise the Thomson USB Remote NDIS device. The Windows Found New Hardware Wizard appears: This wizard will guide you through the installation procedure of the USB drivers. 3 Click Next to continue. The Windows Found New Hardware Wizard may ask your authorisation to connect to Windows Update to search for software. If this is the case, select No, not this time, and then click Next. 4 Select Install the software automatically (Recommended), and then click Next. The USB driver is being installed. After a while a completing dialogue will appear. 5 Click Finish to complete the installation.

You can easily check this interface by opening the Network Connections window from Windows' Control Panel. To install Mac USB drivers You can find the required USB driver software on the Setup CD. The installation is Plug and Play, meaning that installation requires almost no effort. Proceed as follows: 1 Insert the blue USB cable into the SpeedTouchTM USB port marked with the USB logo. A USB logo looks like this: 2 Plug the other end of the USB cable into (one of) the USB port(s) of your computer. In most cases your computer's USB port is marked with the same USB symbol. You can also connect your computer to the SpeedTouchTM via a USB hub, provided that the hub is autonomously powered. Mac OS X will automatically recognise the detection of a new port. 3 4 Device settings Make sure the SpeedTouchTM Setup CD is inserted, and then click OK. In the Network window, click Apply Now. Once you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings. For more information, see " Device settings" on page 13. E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 17 Chapter 2 Local Network Setup 18 E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 Chapter 3 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 SpeedTouchTM 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 SpeedTouchTM configuration, dial-in access is provided via the SpeedTouchTM'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 SpeedTouchTM 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. Dial-in method: Embedded PPP dial-in client: canbeusedonfollowing operating system: For more information, see: 1 2 Dial-in client on embedded pages Windows XP/UPnP (Internet Gateway Device) Windows, Mac, unix, other Windows XP "3.1 SpeedTouchTM Web Pages" "3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent" on page 23 E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 19 Chapter 3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients Embedded PPP dial-in clients The SpeedTouchTM'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 SpeedTouchTM Web pages. See "3.1 SpeedTouchTM Web Pages" on page 21 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 23 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 SpeedTouchTM needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouchTM Home Install Wizard on the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup. . If your computer runs ... Windows XP Mac OS X you can use ... the Windows XP broadband dial-in client 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. 20 E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 Chapter 3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients 3.1 SpeedTouchTM Web Pages Introduction As the SpeedTouchTM 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. Starting an Internet session Proceed as follows to start an Internet session: 1 Open a Web browser on your computer and browse to the SpeedTouchTM Web pages (see "1.2.1 Access via the Web Interface" on page 6 for more information). The SpeedTouchTM 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 SpeedTouchTM embedded PPP dial-in client establishes the Internet connection. 3 Monitoring your Internet connection Browse the Web. You can view and monitor your connection to the Internet as long as the session is running via: The SpeedTouchTM System Information page: see "4.3.1 Information" on page 34. The SpeedTouchTM Diagnostics task: see "4.4.1 Connectivity Check" on page 42. E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 21 Chapter 3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients Terminating an Internet session Proceed as follows to close an active PPP connection: 1 2 Go to the SpeedTouchTM Web pages. Click Disconnect at the appropriate broadband connection. The SpeedTouchTM embedded PPP dial-in client closes the Internet connection. The Internet Link status changes to Disconnected and your computer is offline. 22 E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0142 v1.0 Chapter 3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients 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 SpeedTouchTM directly from you computer. The IGD Control Client only allows to connect or disconnect a fully configured connection. Preconditions Make sure that: The following subcomponents of the Windows XP Networking Services are added to your Windows XP system: UPnPTM (see " SpeedTouchTM not detected by UPnPTM or IGD Control Client" on page 84). IGD Discovery and Control Client (see " Adding IGD Discovery and Control" on page 85). UPnPTM is enabled on your SpeedTouchTM. To enable UPnP, see "4.5.2 Game & Application Sharing" on page 48. Starting an Internet session Proceed as follows to start an Internet session: 1 2 3 In the Windows taskbar, click Start. Select (Settings >) Control Panel. The Control Panel window appears. Go to (Network and Internet Connections >) Network Connections. The Network Connections window appears.
