To access the
SpeedTouch™ via the
Command Line
Interface (CLI)
You can access the Command Line Interface (CLI) via:
A Telnet session
This requires a TCP/IP connection between the host from which the Telnet
session is opened and the SpeedTouch™. Your SpeedTouch™ and the
connected computer must have an IP address in the same subnet.
Quote site commands (over FTP)
For more information, see “ Quote site command” on page 11.
For more information on CLI commands, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference
Guide.
To access the
SpeedTouch™ via the
File Transfer Protocol
(FTP)
You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), in order to:
Restore or back up configuration files, templates or language packs.
Upgrade your configuration.
File systemThe SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on non-volatile memory and contains the
SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.
To open an FTP sessionProceed as follows:
1Open a Command Prompt window.
In Microsoft Windows XP for instance:
1On the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2Select
2At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™
(192.168.1.254 by default).
3Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.
The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.
The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system.
(
All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
.
File system structureThe structure of the file system is very simple: it consists of a single root directory
called root and a subdirectory called dl (download).
The root directory contains:
all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to start correctly
the dl directory
The dl directory contains the software image.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl
subdirectory.

Local Network Setup
2Local Network Setup
Ethernet networkThe Ethernet ports on the back panel of your SpeedTouch™ allows you to connect
the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet network or to a
computer with installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of
up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/
RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer’s Ethernet port to the
one of the SpeedTouch™’s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your
SpeedTouch™ to an external hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
Device settingsOnce you have connected a device, you can personalise its settings. For more
information, see “ Configure” on page 70.
Ethernet link checkDepending on the SpeedTouch™ model, LED indicators allow you to check your
Ethernet. See “1.1 SpeedTouch™ LED Behaviour” on page 4 for more information.

3Internet Connectivity Dial-In Clients
IntroductionIf you want to set up initial Internet connectivity using the Home Install Wizard on
the Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup, refer to the provided Installation and
Setup Guide.
Access methodsDepending on the configuration of the SpeedTouch™ you may have:
Direct access:
As soon as the initial configuration is finished, immediate and uninterrupted
WAN access is provided.
If you have direct access, the remote organisation might ask for a user
name and password on an Internet welcome page.
Dial-in access:
Access must be explicitly established, that is by “dialling” into a Broadband
Remote Access Server (BRAS).
Depending on the SpeedTouch™ configuration, dial-in access is provided via
the SpeedTouch™’s Routed PPPoA or Routed PPPoE packet services with
embedded PPP client.
Chapter 3
Connection protocolsThe applied connection protocol model depends on the service profile you selected
to configure the SpeedTouch™ and should correspond with the Service Provider’s
requirements. If, for instance, your ISP provides PPPoE, you should configure
PPPoE.
You can find more information on connection protocols in the Internet Connection
Configuration Guide.
Dial-in clientsThere are different ways to dial in, depending on the operating system on your
computer and your preferences.
Dial-in method:can be used on following

dial-in clients
The SpeedTouch™’s embedded PPP dial-in client allows you to establish an Internet
connection for computers residing on your local network, using only one computer
of the network to control the client.
If this computer runs:
Any Operating System
you can always use the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.
See “3.1 SpeedTouch™ Web Pages” on page 17 to proceed.
Windows XP
you can use the Windows XP Internet Gateway Device Control Client.
See “3.2 Internet Gateway Device Control Agent” on page 19 to proceed.
You can also connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE dial-in application.
The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like dial-in behaviour over
the virtual Ethernet segment.
To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting
to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or
Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Home Install Wizard on the
Setup CD or the embedded Easy Setup. .
If your computer runs ...you can use ...
Windows XPthe Windows XP broadband dial-in client
Mac OS Xa Mac OS X broadband dial-in client
a broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by
you Service Provider
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the latter
method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS 8.6/9.x, a Windows 95/
98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application is
mandatory.

3.2Internet Gateway Device Control Agent
IntroductionWindows XP users can easily establish PPP sessions, thanks to the Windows XP
Internet Gateway Device (IGD) Discovery and Control Client that allows you to
control the SpeedTouch™ directly from you computer.
The IGD Control Client only allows to connect or disconnect a fully
configured connection.
PreconditionsMake sure that:
The following subcomponents of the Windows XP Networking Services are
added to your Windows XP system:
UPnP™ (see “ SpeedTouch™ not detected by UPnP™ or IGD Control
Client” on page 80).
IGD Discovery and Control Client (see “ Adding IGD Discovery and
Control” on page 81).
UPnP™ is enabled on your SpeedTouch™. To enable UPnP, see “4.5.2 Game &
