8.1.1 Checklist DSL
There are different types of DSL devices available that use different point-to-point
protocol (PPP) methods:
• a regular ethernet card connected to the external DSL modem uses PPP over Ethernet
(PPPoE). In Austria the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is used. With
PPTP the external modem also has a static IP address.
• an internal DSL modem uses PPP over ATM (PPPoATM)
• an internal ADSL Fritz Card uses CAPI for ADSL
The DSL configuration module already contains the data for major ISPs in some
countries. If your ISP is not listed, you will need to know how name resolving (DNS)
and IP allocation is handled (in most cases this data is received automatically when
connecting). Regardless whether you choose an ISP from the list or add a custom
provider, you need to enter at least your login and password.
For configuration details, refer to Section "DSL" (Chapter 19, Basic Networking,
↑Administration Guide).
8.1.2 Checklist ISDN
In case your internal ISDN card is not detected automatically you will need to know
the vendor and the name of the device.
NOTE: ISDN Modem or Terminal Adapter
If you are using an external ISDN modem or terminal adapter, refer to
tion 8.1.3, "Checklist Modem"
In order to configure the ISDN device you will need the following data:
• ISDN Protocol (depends on your country)
• Area code and phone number.
