The method used depends on the configuration profile/file you used to configure the
SpeedTouch™ and the Service Provider's requirements.

• The SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with
embedded PPP client.

Your Internet
connection
Regardless of whether a direct access or a dial-in access method is used to make your
connection, once the connection is established, opening your web browser is enough to
access the World Wide Web (WWW) or Internet.
Note In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name
and password on an Internet welcome page.
