Connecting to the Internet with
PPPoE

Now the PPPoE connection can be run and a data connection
can be established.

Connect your computer and the modem to the same
local network using a hub or a switch.

Note: It is not recommended to connect your computer directly to the
modem without a hub or switch.

Start the PPPoE by Start > Connect To > Sierra Wireless
AirLink Modem (or whatever you named the
connection). It will be listed on your Network Connec‐
tions window under the heading Broadband.
