Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients

Embedded PPP 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 

 to proceed.

Windows XP
you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See 

Broadband host PPPoE

dial-in clients

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. .

Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the latter

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.
