Backup Solution with the SpeedTouch 610 DSL Business Router
The SpeedTouch 210i is connected using an Ethernet port to one of the Ethernet ports
on the SpeedTouch 610. When the connectivity from the SpeedTouch 610 to the
Internet is lost, all traffic towards the network is automatically re-directed over the
SpeedTouch 210i and through the ISDN network to the internet User Cases.
Imagine your corporate customers in their daily operations. Banks, insurances
companies, travel agencies and so many other businesses can not afford any
downtime of their network or internet connection. Even with the reliability of our
SpeedTouch routers, you are not safe of network failures. Many other single points of
failure are dependencies you need to cover in these Business Critical applications.
Redundancy and backup is a value added service you can offer: return on investment
is high while your total cost of ownership remains low. Your customer’s business
will always be online.
Product Features
The SpeedTouch 210i router is packed with features that give it the flexibility to
provide a complete networking solution for almost any small to medium- sized office
environment.
1
SpeedTouch 210i
Ease of Installation
Your SpeedTouch 210i is a self-contained unit that is quick and easy to install. Physically,
it resembles an external modem; however, it is a combination ISDN router and Ethernet
switch, and it uses twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect to the host network.
Built-in Switch
A dual-speed NWay switch, the SpeedTouch 210i provides four ports for connecting
network end nodes—single-user computers, servers, bridges, other routers, etc.—through
standard “straight-through” twisted-pair cables and one port for making an “uplink”
connection to another hub or switch through the same type of straight-through cable used
to connect end nodes.
ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
Using a standard S/T the SpeedTouch 210i supports DSS1 ISDN switches. The two
ISDN B-channels can be used independently for two destinations, or they can be bundled
together for one high-bandwidth connection supporting bandwidth-on-demand.
Dial On Demand
The Dial On Demand feature allows a SpeedTouch 210i to automatically place a call to a
Rem ote Node whenever there is traffic coming from any workstation on the LAN (Local
Area Network) to that remote site.
Bandwidth On Demand
Bandwidth -on-Demand (BOD) for ISDN Interface: As the ISDN BRI interface has two
independent B channels, the BOD mechanism allows you to automatically add/drop a B
channel according to data traffic throughput.
Full Network Management
The SpeedTouch 210i incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
support and menu-driven network management via a Telnet connection or an embedded
Web configuration program.
PPP Security
The SpeedTouch 210i supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP
(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol ).
RIP-1/RIP-2
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support: Used in most LAN-to-LAN applications.
The RIP protocol exchanges routing information between routers.
2
SpeedTouch 210i
DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows IP addresses to be automatically
and dynamically assigned to hosts on your network.
Networking Compatibility
The SpeedTou ch 210i is compatible with remote access products from other companies
such as Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Additionally, Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, and
Windows NT remote access capability are all supported.
Firmware Upgrade (TFTP) Server
Using this server and the Firmware Upgrade Utility software, you may easily upgrade to
the latest firmware whenever enhanced features are added.
Web (HTTP) Server
A Web browser is the most common tool used to surf the Internet. You may use
Microsoft Internet Explorer or any Netscape browser to configure the Router. It’s as easy
as surfing a Website.
Remote Access Server (RAS)
RAS provides remote dial-in access services for home workers, branch offices, or
telecommuters. SpeedTouch 210i routers offer 10 dial-in user profiles, including an
authentication mechanism through CHAP/PAP and Calling Line Identification (CLID),
secure callback functions, and 16 Lan-to-Lan Dialer Profiles.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy
The DNS proxy maintains a DNS cache, including a mapping table between domain
names and IP addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through the
router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced speed, when a DNS query
packet enters the router, the proxy searches its local DNS cache. If matched, the router
sends an answer to the host that sent the DNS query packet. Only unmatched DNS
queries require querying a WAN Domain Name Server.
3
SpeedTouch 210i
Telnet Terminal Server
The Telnet User Interface (TUI) is an efficient method of configuring and
managing routers.
It utilizes a traditional command - line user interface and is mainly for
advanced configuration, management, and troubleshooting.
Built-in Flash ROM
The Flash ROM memory saves the router firmware and configurations, even
after power down.
Firewall
In addition to the built - in NAT mechanism, the Router features another
powerful firewall to protect your local network or to deny specified local users
access to unauthorized network services.
Remote Management
The system manager can remotely manage the routers through an ISDN remote
dial- in, ISDN, or DSL WAN interface.
Applications for your SpeedTouch 210i
Some applications for the SpeedTouch 210i include:
Internet Access
Your SpeedTouch 210i supports TCP/IP protocol, which is the language used
for the Internet. It is also compatible with access servers manufactured by major
vendors such as Cisco and Ascend.
4
SpeedTouch 210i
Network Address Translation (NAT)
For small office environments, the SpeedTouch 210i allows multiple users on the LAN to
access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet
access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.
NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN
connection.
LAN-to-LAN Enterprise Connections
The SpeedTouch 210i can dial to or answer calls from another remote access router
connected to a different LAN. The SpeedTouch 210i supports TCP/IP and has the
capability to bridge any Ethernet protocol.
Remote Dial -In Server
The SpeedTouch 210i allows Remote Dial-in Users to dial in and gain access to your
LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with remote access capabilities,
e.g., Windows 98, to dial in using an ISDN terminal adapter (TA) to access the network
resources without physically being in the office.

Installation & Setup
Before You Start
♦ Use only the power adapter supplied by THOMSON (16-18 VAC/1A)
Using an incorrectly rated power adapter will result in damage to the router.
♦ Know the type of interface provided by your ISP or telecom. The standard model
only supports the ISDN BRI S/T- interface. If you are an ISDN S/T-interface user,
you should have an NT-1 or NT-1 plus provided by your ISP or telecom.
Also, make sure the ISDN line is available.
♦ In case of emergency, unplug the power adapter first.
♦ Locate the device in a clean location. Do not block the ventilating slots on the rear
panel .
♦ Cables must be attached to the correct ports; to do otherwise may result in damage to
the router. Keep cables away from walkways.
♦ If you use S/T-interface, do not extend the ISDN line greater than 100 meters from
the NT-1 (NT-1 plus) box and the router.
♦ If you use DSL/Cable, check that your subscribed DSL/Cable modem supports the
Ethernet interface for connecting to your PC. If not, you will be unable to connect it to
the router.

Connecting to the Ethernet
Setting up PC Management
Checking the Network IP Configuration
The SpeedTouch 610i has 4 Ethernet ports and the SpeedTouch 210i router has 4 usable
Ethernet ports. After connecting the SpeedTouch 610 and SpeedTouch 210i, up to 6 PCs
can be connected without the need of an external hub (one Ethernet port on each device is
used to connect both devices and uplink port is mutually exclusive with port 1).
Use the Uplink Ethernet port on the SpeedTouch 210i to connect to the
SpeedTouch 610i.
The Router has a built - in HTTP (Web) server for configuration. Before you use the router
to access the Internet, you should set up a management PC to log into the router for
further configuration. The management PC may be configured with a fixed or dynamically
assigned IP address. For a fixed IP address, use a free IP address,
such as 10.0.0.137. For the dynamic IP address, as described below, you need to set the
PC as a DHCP client, enable the DHCP server in the router, and then restart or renew the
network settings. The PC will then be assigned an IP address and related settings by the router.
The following examples are for a Microsoft Windows 95/98 machine set to use a dynamic
dynamic IP address. For other operating systems, please refer to the OS user manuals.
Note: Typically the ST610 acts as a DHCP server, so there is no need to use the DHCP
server on the ST210i.
The following explains how to setup the Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol

SpeedTouch 210i
Basic Configuration and Internet Access
Basic Setup (Setup First)
This group includes Administrator Password Setup, Ethernet TCP/IP and DHCP
Setup, and ISDN Setup.
Changing the Administrator Password
On first setup the router requires no password. However, for security reasons, we strongly
recommend that you set an administrator password for the router. If you do not set a
password for the router, any user can access the setting of the router and make changes
randomly from local network or the Internet.
Click Administrator Password Setup, the following screen will open.
♦ Old Password – If this is the first time you enter this menu, leave this field
blank.
♦ New Password – Enter an administrator password.
♦ Retype New Password – Type the password again to confirm.
Configuring Ethernet TCP/IP Address and DHCP Server
The Router has four Ethernet ports for connecting to the local Ethernet network and
external broadband device (i.e. DSL modem/router or Cable modem). There are two sets
of IP address settings for the Ethernet. The first IP address/netmask is for private users or
NAT users, and the second IP address/netmask is for public users or pure router (not
NAT) user. To allow access of public users you need to subscribe a globally reachable
subnet from your ISP.
For example, for some ISDN dial-up access, the ISP will assign a few public IP addresses
for your local network usage. You could use one IP address for your router; the second
19
SpeedTouch 210i
IP address/netmask should be configured using the public IP address. Other local PCs
should set the router IP address as the default gateway. When the ISDN connection to the
ISP has been established, each local PC will directly route to the Internet. Also, you could
use the first IP address/netmask to connect to other private users (PCs). These user's IP
addresses will be translated to the second IP address by the router and sent out via ISDN.
Router IP Network Configuration:
For NAT Usage
♦ 1st IP Address – Private IP address for connecting to a local private network
(Default: 10.0.0.139).
♦ 1st Subnet Mask – Netmask for the local private network (Default:
255.0.0.0).
For IP Routing Usage – (Default: Disable)
♦ Enable – Enable the 2nd IP address settings.
♦ Disable – Disable the 2nd IP address settings.
♦ 2nd IP Address – Set a public IP address.
♦ 2nd Subnet Mask – Set a netmask for the public IP address.
DHCP Server Configuration:
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol can automatically dispatch related IP settings to any
local user configured as a DHCP client. The DHCP server supports up to 253 users (PCs)
on the local network.
♦ Activate – (Default: No )
♦ Yes – Enable the DHCP server.
♦ No – Disable the DHCP server.
♦ Start IP Address – Set the start IP address of the IP address pool.
♦ IP Pool Counts – Set the number of IPs in the IP address pool.
♦ Gateway IP Address – Set the Gateway IP address.
♦ DNS Server IP Address – (Default: None) DNS stands for Domain Name
System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address. They may also
