Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
Introduction
For setting 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:
±
D
irect access:
As soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and uninterrupted
WAN access is provided.
±
D
ial-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 your ISP provides PPPoE for instance, you should configure PPPoE.
More information on connection protocols can be found in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clients
There are different ways of dialling in, depending on the operating system on your PC
and your preferences.
In case of direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.

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.

to proceed.
Broadband host PPPoE
dial-in clients
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.
If this computer runs:
±
MS Windows XP
you can use the MS Windows XP broadband dial-in client. See
“3.3 MS
Windows XP BroadBand Connection” on page 25
for more information.
±
Mac OS X
you can use a Mac OS X broadband dial-in client. See
“3.4 Mac OS X PPPoE
Dial-in Client” on page 29
for more information.

A broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by your Service Provider to connect
to the Internet
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the
latter method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS 8.6/9.x, an MS
Windows 95/98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in
application is mandatory.
