Data Encryption (WPA):
Select the data encryption for the WPA mode. Following encryption
types are available:
TKIP:
The Temporal Key Integration Protocol (TKIP) takes the original
master key only as a starting point and derives its encryption keys
mathematically from this master key. Then it regularly changes and
rotates the encryption keys so that the same encryption key will be
never used twice.
AES:
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides security
between client workstations operating in ad hoc mode. It uses a
mathematical ciphering algorithm that employs variable key sizes
of 128, 192 or 256 bits.

2.4.4WPA-PSK
DefinitionContrary to WPA, WPA-Pre Shared Key (WPA-PSK) does not need the presence of
an authentication server on your network.
WPA Personal features 3 basic improvements over WEP.
1Mutual authentication of access point and client via a 4-way handshake. In this
handshake, both client and access point check whether they share the same
Pre-Shared Key (without sending the PSK “in the clear”).
2Stronger encryption, using the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). In stead
of using a fixed WEP key, TKIP uses in pairs temporary session keys which are
derived from the PSK during the 4-way handshake.
3Message Integrity Check (MIC), a strong mathematical function in which the
recipient and transmitter each compute and compare the MIC. Non-matching
MICs reveal that a third party has been tampering the data to try and hack the
system.

2.5Extending the Range of your Wireless Network
IntroductionThe Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to extend the range of your
SpeedTouch™716g by means of one or more wireless repeaters (e.g. a
SpeedTouch™180). The following illustration depicts two WDS-enabled devices
communicating via WDS:
Chapter 2
WDS Link
SpeedTouch™180
DSL PPPWLANEthernet
SpeedTouch™716
The SpeedTouch™716g allows you to configure up to four WDS links.
Repeaters extend the coverage area of your wireless LAN, however bear in
mind that throughput is reduced for wireless clients that are connected
through the repeater.
PreconditionsYour wireless repeater must be WDS-enabled.
Both SpeedTouch™716g and your wireless repeater must use:
The same WEP key if WEP is enabled.
WPA encryption is not supported when using WDS.
!
The same fixed channel.
The SpeedTouch™716g and your wireless repeater do not necessarily need
to use the same SSID. Using different SSIDs allows you to force your
wireless clients to use either the access point of the SpeedTouch™716g or
the access point of your wireless repeater.

What you need from
your ISP
PrerequisitesMake sure that:
In most cases, you need a user account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for
Internet access.
For this account, your ISP will provide you with:
A user name (logon ID).
A password.
Other information may be required depending on the ISP’s specific requirements
and service profile selection.
The SpeedTouch™ device is correctly set up and turned on as described in

SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity
4SpeedTouch™ Internet Connectivity
IntroductionThis chapter provides information on how to configure your SpeedTouch™
according to your preferences and how to access the Internet.
Access methodsAs soon as the SpeedTouch™ and your computers have been configured as
outlined in “3 Configuration” on page 37, you are able to connect to the WAN or
Internet.
Depending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
Direct access
As soon as the initial configuration has been done, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
Dial-in access
Access must be explicitly established, e.g. by “dialing” into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
The applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected
to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s
requirements.
Chapter 4
Direct accessAs mentioned, as soon as the initial configuration has been done, immediate and
uninterrupted WAN access is provided.
In case of direct access, the remote organization might ask for a user name
and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in accessThe SpeedTouch™ supports both most popular connection methods: PPP over ATM
(PPPoA) and PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE).
The connection method depends on the service profile you selected to configure
the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the service Provider’s requirements.
Routed PPPoA: the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for the Routed
PPPoA Service.
Routed PPPoE: the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for the Routed
PPPoE Service.
Both Services are available via the SpeedTouch™ Quick Setup.
Using the
SpeedTouch™
PPP dial-in client
SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet
connection for all (or a selection of) computers residing on your local network,
using only one computer of the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
MS Windows XP
you can use MS Windows XP’s Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See “4.1 Using the MS Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Agent”
on page 40 to proceed.
Another Operating System
you can use the SpeedTouch™ web pages.

IGMPThe Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an Internet protocol that
enables an Internet computer to report its multicast group membership to adjacent
routers by means of IGMP messages.
IGMP proxyHowever, when acting as a proxy, the system performs the host portion of the IGMP
task as follows:
When it is queried, the system will send group membership reports to the
group.
When one of the hosts joins a multicast address group to which none of the
other hosts belong, the system will send unsolicited group membership
reports to that group.
When the last hosts in a particular multicast group leaves the group, the
system will send a leave group membership report to the routers group.

6Voice over IP
Traditional telephonyFor many years, most of the telephony was made on the old Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) and, over time, telephone service providers have
enhanced their services by providing Custom Local Area Signalling Service
(CLASS) features to the customers. Those CLASS features permit subscribers of the
features to tailor their telephone service according to individual needs (e.g.: call
screening, call logging…).
New needsRapidly, it appeared that a customised version of the CLASS features is required in
medium-to-large sized business, in order to facilitate business and group
communications. The so-called Private Branch eXchange (PBX) was born!
Voice over IPToday, Internet telephony, defined as the transport of telephone calls over the
Internet, can be used to send packets between two or more parties without
reserving the connection. Furthermore, based on a powerful signalling protocol
such as SIP protocol, Voice over IP (VoIP) communications allow other Internet
applications as Web, e-mail, chat, presence and instant messaging to be blended
with voice to provide entirely new classes of services and features not available
with circuit-switched telephony.

Voice over IP
6.1Session Initiation Protocol
DefinitionSession Initiation Protocol (SIP), defined in RFC 3261, is a signalling protocol used
for:
Initiating sessions in an IP network.
Modifying the sessions in an IP network.
Terminating sessions in an IP network.
ComponentsA SIP-enabled IP network includes usual IP components and services such as
routers and DNS servers, as well as SIP User Agents (UA) and SIP network servers.
SIP User AgentsThe SIP User Agents, addressed by SIP URLs, are effectively the end system
components for a session (e.g. IP phone, PC or PDA); they originate and terminate
SIP requests.
SIP User Agents can implement advanced services such as:
Call Waiting
Call Hold
Call Transfer for IP telephony
SIP proxy serverThe SIP network servers are network devices that handle the signalling associated
with multiple sessions. In a proxy model, a SIP proxy server forwards signalling
messages between the called and calling parties; it is the only point of contact that
the clients have for signalling messages. After the session has been established, the
RTP audio or video packets are sent directly between the clients.

7.1Setting up a Virtual Server
IntroductionUsing Network Address Translation (NAT), the SpeedTouch™ is able to make your
local network act as a single machine to the Internet. This enables you to divide the
services of your server over different host computers.
When the SpeedTouch™ receives an incoming IP packet requesting access to your
local server, the SpeedTouch™ will recognise the service type according to the port
number in this packet (for example, port 80 indicates HTTP service and port 21
indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number, the SpeedTouch™ is able to
forward this service to the correct local IP.

7.2SNMP
FunctionThe Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to refer to a collection
of specifications for network management that include the protocol itself, the
definition of data structures and associated concepts.
SNMPA management station performs the monitoring function by retrieving the value of
MIB objects. The management station and agents are linked by a network
management protocol called SNMP. The SNMP includes three key capabilities
Get
Set
Tra p
A single management station can handle many agents as long as SNMP remains
relatively “simple”, so the number can be high (hundreds or so).
ExampleThe following picture is the typical configuration of protocols for SNMP.
As for a stand-alone management station, a manager process controls access to a
central MIB at the management station and provides an interface to the network
manager. The manager process achieves network management by using SNMP,
which will be implemented on top of the UDP, IP and the relevant networkdependent protocols (for example, Ethernet).
For an agent device that supports other applications, such as FTP, both TCP and
UDP are required. An agent may issue a trap message in response to an event that
effects the MIB and the underlying managed resources.
There are no ongoing connections maintained between a management
station and its agents. Instead, each exchange is a separate transaction
between a management station and an agent.
TrapsEach agent is responsible for notifying the management station of any unusual
event. For example:
If the agent crashes and is rebooted
A link fails
An overload condition as defined by the packet load crosses some threshold
...
These events are communicated in SNMP messages known as traps.
