Internet Access Setup

For most users, Internet access is the primary application. The following sections will explain more details of ISDN dial-up access and broadband access setup. When you click Internet Access Setup within the Quick Setup group, the following setup page will be shown.

Five methods are available for Internet Access:

♦Dialing to Single ISP – If you want to access the Internet via a single ISP, click here.

♦Dialing to Dual ISP – If you have more than one ISP, click here to set up two ISP dialup profiles. You will be able to dial to both ISPs at the same time. This is mainly for those ISPs who do not support Multiple link PPP (ML-PPP). In such cases dialing to two ISPs can increase the bandwidth utilization of the ISDN line to 128kbps data speed.

♦PPPoE – This is for most DSL modem users. All local users can share one PPPoE connection to access the Internet.

♦PPTP – Some DSL service providers supply a special DSL modem (e.g. Alcatel's DSL modem). This kind of modem only supports the PPTP tunnel method to access the Internet. In these cases, you create a PPTP tunnel that carries a PPP session and terminates on the DSL modem. Once the tunnel has been established, this kind of DSL modem will forward the PPP session to the ISP. As long as the PPP session is connected, all the local users will be able to share this PPP session to access to the Internet.

♦Static IP – If you have obtained public IP address from DSL, Leased- Line or Cable (static IP only) service provider, select Static IP to setup your Internet Access mode.
