Embedded PPP Dial-in Client.
The SpeedTouch™ supports both most popular connection methods: Routed PPP over
ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
The connection method depends on the Service profile you selected to configure the
SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider's requirements.
To use:
•
the embedded Routed PPPoA dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be config-
ured for the Routed PPPoA Service.
•
the embedded Routed PPPoE dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be config-
ured for the Routed PPPoE Service.
Both Services are available via the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or via the embedded
Easy Setup.
SpeedTouch™'s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet connec-
tion for all (or a selection of) computers residing on your local network, using only one
computer of the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
•
MS Windows XP,
you can use MS Windows XP's Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See "2.1.1 Using the MS Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client"
on page 25 to proceed.
•
another Operating System,
you can use the SpeedTouch™ web pages.
See "2.1.2 Using the SpeedTouch™ Web Pages" on page 27 to proceed.
