3 SpeedTouch™ Web Interface
Introduction The SpeedTouch™ comes with integrated local configuration capabilities.
The local configuration, via the SpeedTouch™ web interface, is based on the HTTP
server/web browser concept.
It allows you to configure your SpeedTouch™ via a web browser using HTML pages
from any local computer attached to the Ethernet interface(s) and/or from the PC
connected via the USB interface (in case of a SpeedTouch™ with USB connectivity).
Requirements Before you access the SpeedTouch™ pages, make sure that your browser is configured
to directly connect to the SpeedTouch™, i.e. that it is not using a proxy server.
If required, you can disable the proxy server for the time you want to access the Speed-
Touch™ web pages.
For more information on how to disable your web browser's proxying, please consult
the web browser's user's guide.
