2.1 Internet Connections via SpeedTouch™’s
Embedded PPP Dial-in Client.
Introduction The SpeedTouch™ supports both most popular connection methods: Routed PPP over
ATM (PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
The connection method depends on the Service profile you selected to configure the
SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s requirements.
To us e :
the embedded Routed PPPoA dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be config-
ured for the Routed PPPoA Service.
the embedded Routed PPPoE dial-in client, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be config-
ured for the Routed PPPoE Service.
Both Services are available via the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or via the embedded
