2 Speed Touch Configuration Guide
What is a packet
service ?
Four packet services
Multiprotocol
Packet services are the core functions of the STHome. They provide
that frames or packets get forwarded from the LAN side towards
the DSL line and vice versa.
Transparent Bridging
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
ATM cell switching (*).
(*) Requires the optional ATMF25.6 port.
All examples in this User's Guide are based on the Internet
Protocol (IP) suite.
However, the STHome DSL modem is a true multiprotocol device:
it can easily handle most other popular protocol suites
Examples in this User's
Guide
Two access methods
This User's Guide presents typical configurations, but as an
experienced user you are free to experiment and to find an
optimal configuration.
Direct access
Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
For direct access use:
Transparent Bridging
Dialin access
In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by
dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).
For dialin access use either of:
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying.

2 Speed Touch Configuration Guide
Transparent Bridging
PPPoE
PPPo
The STHome IEEE802.1D Transparent Bridging packet service
(further referred to as Bridging) offers complete protocol
transparency and has inherent configuration simplicity. Yet it
provides excellent forwarding performance.
PPPoE is one of two popular mechanisms to get in touch with the
SP.
Bridged PPPoE
By installing a PPPoE client application (provided by your SP.)
on your PC(s) and by using the STHome's bridge, connectivity
can be established.
The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is
PPPoA.
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE this requires installation of a PPTP
dialin application (*) on your PC(s).
Packet services resumé
(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialin application installed, e.g. Microsoft
DialUp Networking, or support PPTP Tunneling software to be installed.
The STHome packet services can be summarized as follows:
PortPacket
Service
10BaseTBridgingn1 per userMultiprotocol

(optional)
(*) The supported protocol(s) depend on the provisioning by the session client
application, e.g. IP, IPX and NETBEUI for Microsoft's DialUp Networking
application for PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying.
Bridged PPPoEn1 per userMultiprotocol (*)

During the initial configuration of your PPTP connection icon, you
must provide the following parameters:
A name for the PPTP connection icon
The VPN server's IP address or DNS hostname, i.e. the
STHome's IP address or DNS hostname.
Optionally, you can complete this entry with
The VC's PPTP phonebook name - configured on your
STHome - to be used for this connection.
Note: Only in case multiple PPTP phonebook entries are directed towards
different destinations, you must add the appropriate phonebook name to
the dialstring. This allows the STHome to open the session to the correct
specific destination. In case all PPTP phonebook entries are directed
towards the same destination, it is better not to add a phonebook name to
the dialstring.

Introduction
In this chapter
All data arriving at and departing from your STHome via the DSL
line is carried in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells.
In this way, ATM is the fundamental communication language"
for the STHome towards the remote devices.
The dual port STHome model, equipped with the additional
ATMF25.6 port, is even capable to extend ATM connectivity up to
your local PC or local network (via ATM switches).

5.1The ATM Packet Switching Technology
ATM Switching
Endtoend ATM
connectivit
ATM is a connectionoriented packet switching technology using
fixedsize packets, called cells.
These cells consist of a header and a payload and are switched
through a public or private ATM network depending on the
contents of the header.
Endtoend connections are formed by crossconnecting individual
ATM segments in ATM switches.
Each ATM cell carries two labels called Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)
and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) as part of its header.
An ATM channel, commonly referred to as Virtual Channel,
is fully identified by these two labels. Therefore, multiple ATM
channels can reside on your DSL line.
All STHome ATM connections are static, i.e. of type Permanent
Virtual Channel (PVC).
The following figure provides an overview of the endtoend
architecture of the ATM connectivity; from your STHome to remote
access devices.

ATMF25 port
Ethernet port
This port, optional available on the single Ethernet port STHome,
does not terminate ATM connections, it just switches ATM cells
between the DSL and ATMF25.6 port.
It is the ATMF25.6 PCNIC of the PC that actually initiates, or
terminates ATM VCs.
It is important to check in advance which protocols are supported
by the ATMF25.6 PCNIC driver. At least RFC1483 and RFC2364
should be fully implemented.
This port terminates a number of ATM connections and extracts
frames from arriving cells and encapsulates frames in departing
cells.
Only frames recognized/supported by the STHome on
a particular ATM connection are extracted, or encapsulated.
Currently the supported encapsulations are:
For Transparently Bridged connections:
RFC 1483, Ethernet V2.0/IEEE 802.3 bridged PDUs for both
the LLC/SNAP method and VCMUX method
For Bridged PPPoE connections:
RFC 1483, Ethernet V2.0/IEEE 802.3 bridged PDUs for both
the LLC/SNAP method and VCMUX method
For PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying connections:
RFC 2364, PPP PDUs for both the LLC/NLPID method and
VCMUX method.

5.2The Speed Touch Phonebook
Introduction
The 'Phonebook' page
The STHome phonebook is like any ordinary phonebook:
A repository for names and numbers".
However, in contrast to a standard phonebook, it contains
additional connectivity information.
Basic to the STHome operation are ATM VCs. The STHome
phonebook is the management tool for all possible ATM VC
connections.
This section describes how to use the STHome phonebook, and
consequently how to manage this VC pool.

The 'AutoPVC' table lists all PVCs communicated via AutoPVC. If
AutoPVC is not supported at the remote side, i.e. the Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), the 'AutoPVC' table
stays empty.
Although you are free to give any name to a phonebook entry, a
few restrictions apply:
You may not provide an entry with a name which already is
supplied in the 'Phonebook' table.
Phonebook entries, which are intended to be used for the
PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying packet service may not start with a
capital 'P', or a capital 'T'.
Each entry in the STHome phonebook must have a unique VC,
i.e. a unique VPI/VCI combination. Adding a phonebook entry
with a VPI/VCI, which is already used in the 'Phonebook' table,
will result in an error message.

Example
The default VCs, can be remotely modified via the AutoPVC
feature of the STHome. AutoPVC operates only in conjunction
with the Alcatel Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)
- often referred to as ATM Subscriber Access Multiplexer (ASAM)
- and offers the following functionality:
User VCs that are to be terminated on the Ethernet port, can
be notified by the STHome (AutoPVC list and yellow bar)
User VCs that need to be crossconnected between the DSL
port and the ATMF25.6 port, can be remotely established.
Suppose the SP configures one of the STHome's default
terminated VCs, e.g. 8/35, on the DSLAM.
VPI/VCI 8/35 will end up in the 'AutoPVC' list:
As this VC matches with the Bridging entry Br1, this phonebook
entry will be highlighted in the 'Phonebook' table:

IP vs. Bridging
Typical Bridging setup
Using TCP/IP and
Bridging
Basically, Bridging does not require any IP address at all: neither
in your PC(s), nor in your STHome.
However, in case of Internet access, private IP networking or in
case the Bridging packet service is used for Bridged PPPoE, your
PC(s) must be configured for TCP/IP.
In most cases, your SP will require you to use DHCP for your PC.
In this case the DHCP server is at the remote side of the DSL
connection. Therefore, your STHome's DHCP server must be
disabled.
Your SP may:
Provide you with an IP address
Require you to use DHCP.
Local IP
communication
CAUTION
Alternatively, a second but Private IP address can be manually
configured for local IP communication. It depends on your OS
whether it supports this combination.
e.g. Microsoft supports Logical Multihoming via Registry keys.
Bridging & DHCP Service
The STHome DHCP server is by default disabled.
In case you use your STHome in Bridging mode and your ISP
requires you to enable DHCP in your PC(s), the DHCP server
inside the STHome must be disabled to avoid conflicts between
two DHCP servers being active at the same time.
Setting the DHCP modes of your STHome is described in section
6.3.

IP vs. PPPoA/PPTP
Private IP addresses
Public IP addresses
Simultaneous use of
public & private IP
Prior to using PPTP, local IP addresses must be configured. The use
of these IP addresses is limited to the local network.
You are free to choose any IP address as long as it is compatible
with your local network and is unique in that same network.
As the STHome has a preconfigured Net10" address
(10.0.0.138), you should configure IP addresses like 10.0.0.1,
10.0.0.2, ... on your PCs.
Note: IP addresses can be configured automatically via STHome's DHCP
server. See section 6.3 for more information.
A second set of (Public) IP addresses having endtoend scope will
automatically be negotiated via the PPP protocol inside your PC(s).
Both Public and Private IP addresses are active simultaneously
because of tunneling. In fact two nested" IP layers exist: the Public
IP layer which is carried within the Private IP layer on the local
LAN.
PPP IP address
58 / 104
negotiation
By default the PPTP tunnel application automatically negotiates the
Public IP address.
In case your SP instructs you to use a static IP address for Relayed
PPPoA, most dialin applications allow a static IP address to be
supplied.

to the STHome
STHome and multiple
IP addresses
Like any other member of a LAN, the STHome must be locally
identified by an IP address to be able to communicate with other
local LAN devices.
This section deals with the IP address configuration of the
STHome for local communication only.
IP addresses can be assigned to the STHome in several ways.
Summarized, following IP address types exist:
The default IP address: 10.0.0.138
IP addresses assigned via the 'Initial Setup' page
IP addresses assigned via a 'PingofLife
IP addresses assigned to the STHome via DHCP.
As the STHome IP layer supports logical multihoming (one
interface supporting multiple IP addresses), both statically and
dynamically configured IP address(es) can be active at the same
time.

Introduction
The 'DNS' page
IP addresses are fundamental to the operation of the Internet. IP
addresses, being 32bit numbers, are ideally suited for computers
but are far from usable to humans.
Therefore, the Domain Name System (DNS) was designed: a
distributed database, held by a hierarchical system of servers, that
is used by TCP/IP applications to map between hostnames and IP
addresses.

Note
CAUTION
Your STHome is a highly advanced product, operating according
the many configurations set via the STHome Web interface or via
the CLI.
In this way STHome operation is vulnerable to misconfiguration
by other users.
Therefore, the STHome can be secured from such users by a
system password to restrict access to the Web interface, or the CLI.
This chapter describes how to set such a system password.
Never use an obvious system password to protect the STHome as
your name, birth date, or phone number.
Moreover, you are advised to change the system password
regularly.
Forgetting the System Password
In case you forgot the system password you are no longer able to
access the web interface or the CLI and you will be no longer able
to (re)configure the STHome settings.
3EC 17058 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
Therefore, write your system password down and keep it on a

If not, the ping will be submitted with the MAC address of the
default router instead of the special MAC group address.
Proceed as follows:
1.Turn off the STHome.
2.Open a commandline (DOS) window (Windows OS), or a
terminal window (UNIX, Linux) on a PC.
3.At the command prompt execute: arp –a
This allows you to overview the current entries in the ARP
cache.
4.Add a static entry to the ARP cache, according to following
syntax:
arp –s <STHome IP address> 01–90–D0–80–01–01
<STHome IP address> is a placeholder for the IP address
to be assigned to the STHome. It can be any address within
your subnet as long as it is not used by any other member of
your local network.
5.To verify whether this step was successful execute arp –a a
second time.
In the entries list, your arp –s command entry should be
added.
6.Initiate a continuous pinging, by executing following
command:
ping –t <STHome IP address>
7.Turn on the STHome.

9.You must
clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing
the following command:
arp –d <STHome IP address>
10. Verify connectivity by pinging the STHome a second time:

The STHome should reply.
11. Browse to the STHome pages and click
to make
the new IP address permanent.

Overview of the
ToDefaults methods
CAUTION
To restore STHome's original settings, three methods are
provided:
Two local software methods:
BrowsetoDefaults
Which sets all parameters to original defaults, but keeps
the system password and IP address.
Pingto Defaults
Which sets all parameters to original defaults, including
the system password and IP address.
One hardware method: SwitchtoDefaults .
Restoring Original Settings
Be careful when using the BrowsetoDefaults, PingtoDefaults,
or the SwitchtoDefaults procedures as these destroy changes you
previously made to the STHome internal settings.
A reset to defaults via a PingtoDefaults, or via a
SwitchtoDefaults , also implies the STHome's IP address is reset
to 10.0.0.138.

9.2.2PingtoDefaults
Introduction
Procedure
A second software method to reset all settings to the original
defaults is the PingtoDefaults.
The technique is identical to that used for the PingofLife, except
that another MAC address is used, i.e. 01–90–D0–80–01–FF.
Proceed as follows:
1.Turn off the STHome.
2.Open a commandline (DOS) window (Windows OS), or a
terminal window (UNIX, Linux) on a PC.
3.Add a static entry to the ARP cache, according to following
syntax:
arp –s <any IP address> 01–90–D0–80–01–FF
<any IP address> can be any address within your subnet
as long as it is not used by any other member of your local
network.
4.To verify whether this step was successful execute arp –a
5.Initiate a continuous pinging, by executing following
command:
Note
ping –t <any IP address>
6.Turn on the STHome.
7.After the STHome finished its POST, it will perform a reset to
default settings.
8.You must
the following command:
arp –d <any IP address>
9.If needed, reconfigure the STHome IP address, e.g. via a
PingofLife.
The used <any IP address> to perform a PingtoDefaults is not
assimilated by your STHome. The STHome will restart with the
original defaults, including the default IP address 10.0.0.38.

9.2.3SwitchtoDefaults
9 Maintenance - Speed Touch ToDefaults
Introduction
Procedure
At the back of the STHome there is a small push button labeled
"Defaults".
Via this button a hardware reset of the STHome, the
SwitchtoDefaults , is possible.
Proceed as follows:
1.Make sure your STHome is turned on.
2.Use a pencil to press the push button at the back of the STHome.
3.Release the button. Via the flashing front panel LEDs, you will
notice that the STHome will reboot.
Wait to allow the POST to end. The STHome will come online
with manufacturing defaults.
4.After a reset to original defaults a reconfiguration of
STHome's IP address might be necessary. This because the
reset to defaults also resets your STHome's IP address to its
default value 10.0.0.138.
