Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

3 Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

Introduction If you want to set up initial Internet connectivity using the Home Install Wizard on the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and Setup Guide.

Access methods Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:

Direct access:

As soon as the initial configuration is finished, immediate and uninterrupted

WAN access is provided.

If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user name and password on an Internet welcome page.

Dial-in access:

Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband

Remote Access Server (BRAS).

Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via the SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with embedded PPP client.

Connection protocols The applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s requirements. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure PPPoE.

You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection

Configuration Guide.
