1.2.1What you Need
DSL service
Ethernet port(s)
Depending on the STPro variant you purchased, the following DSL
service must be available at your local premisses:
ADSL service must be enabled on your 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.
SHDSL service must be enabled on a dedicated singlepair
copper line.
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.
To use the (optional) ATMF25.6 port you need:
A PC with an ATMF25.6 PCNIC installed
Accessing the STPro
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) access you need:
A serial cable
An ASCII terminal (VT100) or a PC with ASCII terminal
emulation.

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
contact 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 AST520 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.

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 Connection Service supported on this VC
The Encapsulation Method (if different from the Connection
Service's default encapsulation).
Example:
VPI/VCI = 0/35
Connection Service = ETHoA (RFC1483/Br)
Encapsulation Method : ETHoA 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.
Default STPro VPI/VCI
settings
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 13.3 for more information.

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 21)
A Telnet CLI session (See subsection 22.2.1)
A Serial CLI session (See subsection 22.2.2).
Configure the STPro via its web interface.
Most STPro topics have a dedicated page, e.g. for Bridging, PPP,
CIP, NAT, DHCP, etc.
Context related Help pages provide detailed information.
For profound configurations use the Command Line Interface
(CLI).

1.2.6Surf the Internet
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, Routed Ethernet 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 Bridged PPPoE,Routed PPPoE, Relayed PPPoA and Routed PPPoA 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.
