Advanced PPPoA/PPTP Connections

By default, the Speed Touch

Home is configured for 4 PPPoA/ATM

connections. The STHome is however capable of managing up to

12 PPPoA/ATM channels simultaneously. This can be achieved by

deleting all other packet service entries.
However, check with your ISP, or corporate headquarters to ensure

that these connections are crossĆconnected in the Wide Area

Network (WAN) and consequently that endĆtoĆend connectivity is

assured.

Two situations are possible:

"

Single ATM channel to a single destination
In this scenario, the ISP supplied one ATM channel for

connectivity. It is most applicable when a single PC is connected

to the STHome.

"

Multiple ATM channels to a single destination
In this scenario, the ISP supplied multiple ATM channels, all

directing to the same destination. This implies that several PCs

can connect to this destination at the same time (as long there

is an idle channel left). Therefore, this is most applicable with a

STHome connected to a LAN.

Multiple remote organizations might be connected to your STHome,

e.g., your private ISP(s) and your corporate headquarters.
In this case, the STHome's ATM channels will be split over both

locations. For example, 6 ATM channels could be provisioned to your

ISP and 6 channels to your corporate.
You need to check with your ISP and your corporate LAN

administrator to verify which crossĆconnections exist between the

ATM virtual channels and the locations.
Via the STHome's local web pages you can add these specific

PPP/PPTP entries, named at will, in addition to the default

'RELAY_PPPx' entries. See section 7.1.5 for more.
These additional entries can be added in the 'VPN Server' field of the

'Connect To' window with their names, next to the Domain Name

System (DNS) hostname or IP address of your STHome (See step 4.

of the steplist in section 5.3).
If you establish this connection, the DialĆUp application will use this

particular VC to connect to the remote access server.
