1.2.1What you Need
DSL service
Local networking
Depending on the STPro variant you purchased, the following DSL
service must be available at your local premisses:
ADSL/POTS
ADSL service must be enabled on your POTS telephone line.
ADSL/ISDN
ADSL service must be enabled on your ISDN telephone line.
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available
from the same copper pair, you need a central splitter, or
distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Contact your SP for more information.
To use the Ethernet port(s) you need at least:
One PC with an Ethernet 10BaseT PCNetwork Interface
Card (NIC) installed.
For local networking, a 10BaseT hub (if needed) and the
necessary connection cables.
Accessing the STPro
To use the (optional) ATMF25.6 port you need:
A PC with an ATMF25.6 PCNIC installed.
For ATM networking, a workgroup ATM switch.
For local configuration via HTTP/HTML, you need:
A TCP/IP protocol suite
A Web browser.
For native Command Line Interface (CLI) you need:
A serial cable
An ASCII terminal (VT100), or a PC with ASCII terminal
emulation.

The Ethernet Port(s) (10BaseT)
The Optional ATMF25.6 Port (ATMF25)

Use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's Ethernet port to
STPro's Ethernet interface.
Refer to section 2.2 for more information.
Use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's ATMF25.6 port to
the STPro's ATMF25.6 port.
Refer to section 2.3 for more information.
Use the included DSL cable to wire the STPro's Line port to your
DSL wall outlet.
Power port (DC)
Refer to section 3.2 for more information.
Firstly check whether the included mains adapter suits the local
power specifications. If you are not sure of the regional power
conditions, check the adapter's specifications in section B.5, and
your local power company.
Plug the adapter's coaxial jack into the STPro's receptacle marked
'DC'.
Refer to section 3.3 for more information.

Check your wiring
Once all connections are made, the result should look similar as
below:
Turn on your STPro
Once all previous steps are completed, turn on your STPro.
The STPro is ready for service as soon as the startup procedures
are completed, the Power On Self Test (POST) is passed and both
Power/Alarm and Line Sync LEDs on the front panel are constantly
lit green.
Refer to section B.2 for more information.

1.2.3Check your Service Provider's Offering
Service offering
The SP provides at least the following information:
The VPI/VCI of the Virtual Channel (VC) to use on the DSL
line
The Packet Service supported on this VC
The Encapsulation Method (if different from the Packet
Service's default encapsulation).
Example:
VPI/VCI = 0/35
Packet Service = Transparent Bridging
Encapsulation Method : Bridge default, i.e. LLC/SNAP
Your STPro supports multiple simultaneous VCs on the DSL line. If
your SP exploits this capability, he will provide this information per
VC.
Selection criteria
Default STPro VPI/VCI
settings
For more information on the criteria to prefer one Packet Service
over the other, see chapter 5.
The VPI/VCI value of the default configured VCs are listed in
appendix C.
In the event that the provided VPI/VCI differ with the STPro
defaults, you can change VC settings via the STPro pages.
See section 11.3 for more information.

1.2.4Configure your STPro (If Necessary)
STPro access
STPro Configuration
In most cases your STPro provides instant Internet connectivity as
it features well chosen defaults
In exceptional cases additional or advanced configurations are
desired, the STPro offers various access methods:
Its web interface (See chapter 17)
A Telnet CLI session (See subsection 18.1.1)
A Serial CLI session (See subsection 18.1.2).
Configure the STPro via its web interface.
Most STPro topics have a dedicated page, e.g. for Bridging,
DHCP, DNS, etc. Context related Help pages provide detailed
information.
For profound configurations use the Command Line Interface
(CLI).

Finishing setup
Access methods
Alwayson access
Dialin access
After wiring (and optionally configuring) the STPro you are ready
to surf the Internet.
Depending on the selected packet service(s), there is:
AlwaysOn Access
DialIn Access.
With Transparent Bridging and CIP & IP Routing, no connection
procedure is needed. Turn on the STPro and you are online.
Note: Although no access procedure is needed, some SPs require
authentication before granting accesss to their resources.
A main feature of the STPro is support for traditional Dialin
connectivity to a Remote Access Server (RAS) via its PPPoAtoPPTPRelaying and PPP & IP Routing packet services.
Manually establish a connection via the STPro pages or via
Operating System (OS) dependent dialin applications.
Most dialin procedures require a user name and password for
identification and authentication.

1.2.6Detailed STPro Information
The STPro is more than
just" a DSL router
Use the following parts to explore STPro's advanced features:
In your STPro package a full wired straightthrough RJ45/RJ45
cable, further referred to as LAN cable is included.
You can use LAN cables other than the one provided in the box,
e.g. crossover LAN cables. However, make sure that these have
the correct layout.
See section B.6 for more information on how to identify
straightthrough and crossover LAN cables.
Note: As the included LAN cable is fully wired, it can also be used for
connecting the STPro's ATMF25.6 port.
Determine the LAN cable type from the following table:
Speed TouchOther equipment Type of LAN cableSymbol
MDIXMDIXCrossover
MDIStraightthrough
Equipment and ports
ATMNetworkATMNetworkCrossover
ATMEndStraightthrough
PC Ethernet ports are always of type MDI; ATM PCNIC ports are
always of type ATMEnd.
Ethernet hub ports are of type MDIX; ATM switch ports are of type
ATMNetwork.
Note: You may use the (switchable) uplink" or cascade" MDI port which is
sometimes present on Ethernet hubs. However, make sure to use the correct
cable type.

Cascading Repeating Hubs
You may cascade up to four repeating hubs in your LAN
(limitations of Repeating Ethernet V2.0/IEEE802.3 hubs). In case
more hubs need to be cascaded, you must use switching hubs.
In the above figure an MDIX port on the hub connects to the
STPro. Therefore, a crossover LAN cable is used.
Note: In case the hub's uplink" port is used to wire the STPro you can use the
included straightthrough LAN cable.
