Embedded PPP dial-in clients

Broadband host PPPoE dial-in clients

The SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet connection for computers residing on your local network, using only one computer of the network to control the client.

If this computer runs:

Any Operating System

you can always use the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.

See “3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 21 to proceed.

Windows XP

you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client. See “3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent” on page 23 to proceed.

You can also connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application. The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behaviour over the virtual Ethernet segment.

To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard on the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup. .
