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.
Chapter 3
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.
Dial-in clients There are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.
Dial-in method: can be used on following
operating system:

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. .
If your computer runs ... you can use ...
Windows XP the Windows XP broadband dial-in client
Mac OS X a Mac OS X broadband dial-in client
a broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by
you Service Provider
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, a Windows 95/
98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application is
mandatory.
