4.1 Internet Connections via SpeedTouch™’s
Embedded PPP Dial-in Client
Introduction The SpeedTouch™ supports both most popular connection methods: 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.
• 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
Easy Setup .
