Scope
This service definition is compliant with the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.0.
This service-type enables a UPnP control point to configure and control PPP connections on the WAN interface
of a UPnP compliant InternetGatewayDevice*. Any type of WAN interface (for e.g., DSL or POTS) that can
support a PPP connection can use this service.
The service is REQUIRED if a PPP connection is used for WAN access, and is specified in
urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:WANConnectionDevice
one or more instances of which are specified under the device
urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:WANDevice
An instance of WANDevice is specified under the root device
urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:InternetGatewayDevice
Generally, Internet connections are set up from a WAN interface of the InternetGatewayDevice to Internet
Service Providers (ISPs). However, an implementation MAY support PPP connections that are bridged or
relayed (as in the case of some DSL modems) through the gateway device. WANDevice is a container for all
UPnP services associated with a physical WAN device. It is assumed that clients are connected to
InternetGatewayDevice via a LAN (IP-based network).
An instance of a WANPPPConnection service is activated (refer to SST below) for each actual Internet
Connection instance on a WANConnectionDevice. WANPPPConnection service provides PPP-level
connectivity with an ISP for networked clients on the LAN. More than one instance of WANPPPConnection
service may be defined on a WANConnectionDevice – representing multiple user accounts using the same link
(username / password) to an ISP.
Multiple instances of this service will be distinguished based on the ServiceID for each service instance.
In accordance with UPnP Architecture version 1.0, the maximum number of WANPPPConnection service
instances is static and specified in the InternetGatewayDevice description document.
A WANConnectionDevice MAY include a WAN{POTS/DSL/Cable/Ethernet}LinkConfig service that
encapsulates Internet access properties pertaining to the physical link of a particular WAN access type. These
properties are common to all instances of WANPPPConnection in a WANConnectionDevice.
A WANDevice provides a WANCommonInterfaceConfig service that encapsulates Internet access properties
common across all WANConnectionDevice instances.
