1.2.1What you Need
DSL service Depending on the STHome 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.
Ethernet port To use the Ethernet port you need at least:
One PC with an Ethernet 10Base T PC Network Interface Card (NIC) installed
For local networking, a 10Base T hub and the necessary connection cables.
To use the (optional) ATMF 25.6 port you need:
A PC with an ATMF 25.6 PC NIC installed
For ATM networking, a workgroup ATM switch.

1.2.2STHome Wiring
Wiring procedure Proceed as follows:
1.Use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's Ethernet port to STHome's Ethernet interface.
2.If you have a dual port STHome you can use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's ATMF 25.6 port to the STHome's ATMF 25.6 port.
3.Use the included DSL cable to wire the STHome's Line port to your DSL wall outlet.
4.Plug the adapter's coaxial jack into the STHome's receptacle marked 'DC'.
Note: 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.2 and contact your local power company.
Single PC wiring Once all connections are made the result should look similar as below:

CAUTION
CAUTION
3EC 17058 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
In the above figure an MDI X port on the hub connects to the STHome. Therefore, a crossover LAN cable is used.
Note: In case the hub's •uplink" port is used to wire the STHome you can use the included straight through LAN cable.
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.
10Base T Half Duplex Interfacing
Make sure the 10Base T port(s) of your PC(s) are configured for either Auto Negotiation or Half Duplex.
Never configure the 10Base T Ports for Full Duplex !

configuration
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 Connection Service's default encapsulation)
User name and Password for your User Account (if needed).
Your STHome supports multiple simultaneous VCs on the DSL line. If your SP exploits this capability, he will provide this information per VC.
Example 1:
VPI/VCI = 0/35
Packet Service = Transparent Bridging
Encapsulation Method : Bridge default, i.e. LLC/SNAP
Example 2:
VPI/VCI = 8/48
Packet Service = PPPoA to PPTP Relaying (RFC2364 PPPoA)
Encapsulation Method : pptp default, i.e. VC MUX
User name : John_Doe
Password for this User name : doejohn
As soon as you know the Packet Service supported on a VC, you can configure your STHome, if needed.
Following combinations are possible:
Connection Service |
Packet Service |
|
|
RFC1483 Bridging |
bridge - Transparent Bridging |
|
|
|
bridge - Bridged PPPoE (*) |
|
|
RFC2364 PPPoA |
pptp - Relayed PPPoA (**) |
|
|
(*) A PPPoE Client application must be installed on your PC. (**) A PPTP Dial Up application must be installed on your PC.

2.3.1STHome Web Interface Access
STHome access
Accessing the STHome
The STHome features well chosen defaults. Therefore, in most cases no additional configuration is needed for immediate Internet connectivity.
In exceptional cases additional or advanced configurations are desired, the STHome offers a user friendly web interface.
Note: You can also configure the STHome through its Command Line Interface (CLI), accessible via a Telnet session.
Proceed as follows:
1.Start the Web browser on your PC.
2.Contact the STHome by entering one of the following:
D The STHome IP address (default 10.0.0.138)
D The STHome DNS hostname (default SpeedTouch.lan).
3.In case the STHome is protected by a System Password an
authentication window will pop up.
Enter the system password in the 'Password' field.
4. As a result the 'Welcome to the World of DSL' page pops up:

2.3.2STHome Packet Services
What is a packet service ?
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.
Four packet services
Multiprotocol
Transparent Bridging
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoA to PPTP Relaying
ATM cell switching (*).
(*) Requires the optional ATMF 25.6 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
This User's Guide presents typical configurations, but as an experienced user you are free to experiment and to find an optimal configuration.
Two access methods Direct access
Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate access is available via the DSL line.
For direct access use:
DTransparent Bridging
Dial in access
In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by •dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).
For dial in access use either of:
DBridged PPPoE
DPPPoA to PPTP Relaying.

Transparent Bridging 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
PPPoA
Packet services resumé
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.
PPPoA to PPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE this requires installation of a PPTP dial in application (*) on your PC(s).
(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dial in application installed, e.g. Microsoft Dial Up Networking, or support PPTP Tunneling software to be installed.
The STHome packet services can be summarized as follows:

ATM Cell Switching |
|
|
|
(optional) |
The functionality of ATM Cell switching depends on the |
|||
|
capabilities, offered by the drivers included with the ATMF 25.6 |
|||
|
PC NIC. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(*) The supported protocol(s) depend on the provisioning by the session client application, e.g. IP, IPX and NETBEUI for Microsoft's Dial Up Networking application for PPPoA to PPTP Relaying.

2.3.3Transparent Bridging Packet Service Configuration
Bridging configuration
Using Bridging
CAUTION
Detailed packet service use description
Per default, following Bridging entry is preconfigured:
Br1 (Bridge on 8.35)
In case this Bridging entry does not meet your requirements, you can configure a new one as follows:
1.If needed, add a Bridging phonebook entry with the correct VPI/VCI on the 'Phonebook' page.
2.On the 'Bridge' page, select this phonebook entry from the 'Bridge Port' pop down list.
3.For this entry, select the correct encapsulation method.
4.Click 
and 
to finish the procedure.
Make sure your STHome is turned on first.
Turn on your PC(s), start your Web browser and you are on the Internet.
Although the access method of the bridge is 'Always on', the remote organization might ask for a user name and password.
Transparent Bridging and DHCP
If the SP requires you to use DHCP on your local PC(s), you must disable the STHome DHCP server.
This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.
For more information on the configuration and use of the Bridging packet service, see chapter 3.

Bridged PPPoE
configuration
Using Bridged PPPoE
As the Bridged PPPoE packet service implies nothing more than using the STHome Transparent Bridging packet service, no specific configuration for Bridged PPPoE is required on the
STHome.
However, you may need to configure the Transparent Bridging packet service of the STHome in order to meet the requirements of your SP regarding VC(s) and encapsulation.
For more information on the configuration of the Bridging packet service, see chapter 3.
To use Bridged PPPoE, a PPPoE client must be installed on your PC.
The SP will provide the PPPoE client software. Contact him for more information.
