8.2 Using the Automatic Dialer for Internet Connection
The Automatic Dialer feature allows the service provider to use one type of pre-configured
devices for all the following Internet connection types:
WAN Ethernet (DHCP, LT2P or PPPoE)
WAN xDSL (PPPoE)
In the Private Labeling process, the factory setting is burned with the parameters of the
different dialers. When powered-up at the customer site, the device first detects the
physical WAN type (xDSL or Ethernet) and then attempts the relevant WAN connection
methods. The indication for a successful result is connection (i.e., receipt of an IP address)
and a ping test.
This section describes the recommended process for using the Automatic Dialer.
