2 Speed Touch Configuration Guide
Transparent Bridging The AST350i IEEE802.1D Transparent Bridging packet service (further referred to as Bridging) offers complete protocol transparency and has inherent configuration simplicity. Yet it provides excellent forwarding performance.
PPPoE
PPPoA
Packet services resumé
PPPoE is one of two popular mechanisms to get in touch with the SP.
Bridged PPPoE
By installing a PPPoE client application (provided by your SP.) on your PC(s) and by using the AST350i's bridge, connectivity can be established.
The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is PPPoA.
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE this requires installation of a PPTP dialin application (*) on your PC(s).
(*)Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialin application installed, e.g. Microsoft DialUp Networking or support PPTP Tunneling software to be installed.
The AST350i packet services can be summarized as follows:
Port | Packet | User/VC | IP Address | Protocol |
| Service |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10BaseT | Bridging | n | 1 per user | Multiprotocol |
Ethernet |
|
|
|
|
Bridged PPPoE | n | 1 per user | Multiprotocol (*) | |
|
|
|
|
|
| PPPoA/PPTP | 1 | 1 per user | Multiprotocol (*) |
|
|
|
|
|
(*)The supported protocol(s) depend on the provisioning by the session client application, e.g. IP, IPX and NETBEUI for Microsoft's DialUp Networking application for PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying.
