Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet to a remote site
through common customer premises equipment. PPPoE can be used to have an office or
building-full of users share a common DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection to the Internet.
PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point Protocol commonly used in dialup connections, with the
Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a LAN. The PPP Protocol information is
encapsulated within an Ethernet frame.
The ADSL USB Modem supports PPPoE by using the driver in conjunction with third party
Ethernet software. The installation procedure follows:
1. Install the ADSL USB Modem as a LAN (RFC1483) driver by following the procedure for
your operating system shown in “Installation and Software Setup for PCs Running
Windows” on page 2-1 or “Installation and Software Setup for an Apple Macintosh
Computer” on page 3-1.
2. Install the PPPoE software by following the steps detailed in the third party software
supplier’s User Guide. The third party software will search for existing drivers. If multiple
drivers are installed, select the ADSL USB Modem as the adapter of choice.
3. The Internet connection is made through the third party software. You are required to enter
your User Name and Password.
