1.2.1 What 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.

1.2.2 STHome 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:

Single PC wiring

Using a hub you can connect multiple PCs to your STHome:

MDI vs. MDI-X hub ports and the STHome

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!

2.3.2 STHome 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

Transparent Bridging
Bridged PPPoE
PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying
ATM cell switching (^*)

(*) Requires the optional ATMF-25.6 port.

Multiprotocol

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:

Transparent 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:

Bridged PPPoE
- PPPoA-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 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.

PPPoA 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:

Port	Packet Service	User/VC	IP Address	Protocol
10Base-T Ethernet	Bridging	n	1 per user	Multiprotocol
	Bridged PPPoE	n	1 per user	Multiprotocol (*)
	PPPoA/PPTP	1	1 per user	Multiprotocol (*)
ATMF-25.6 (optional)	ATM Cell Switching 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.

2.3.3 Transparent Bridging Packet Service Configuration

Bridging configuration

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 Add and Save all to finish the procedure.

Using Bridging

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.

CAUTION

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.

Detailed packet service use description

For more information on the configuration and use of the Bridging packet service, see chapter 3.

2.3.4 Bridged PPPoE Packet Service Configuration

Bridged PPPoE configuration

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.

Using Bridged PPPoE

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.

2.3.5 PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying Packet Service Configuration

PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying configuration

Per default, following PPTP phonebook entries are available for PPPoA/PPTP connections:

RELAY_PPP1 (PPTP on 8.48)

RELAY_PPP2 (PPTP on 8.49)
RELAY_PPP3 (PPTP on 8.50)
RELAY_PPP4 (PPTP on 8.51)

In case these PPTP phonebook entries do not meet your requirements, you can configure a new one as follows:

1. If needed, add a PPTP phonebook entry with the correct VPI/VCI on the 'Phonebook' page.
2. On the 'PPTP' page, select this phonebook entry from the 'Name' pop-down list.
3. For this entry, select the correct encapsulation method.
4. Optionally, select the type of HDLC Framing.

Note: Only in very exceptional cases the default HDLC framing (Never) must be altered.

1. Click Add and Save all to finish the procedure.

Creating a PPTP connection icon

Most PPTP Tunneling applications provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI) guided procedure for the initial creation of a PPTP session icon.

The result of such creation is in most cases an icon or entry in a folder or a table called 'RAS', 'Dial-Up Networking', 'PPTP', 'Call sessions', 'Remote Access', etc.

PPTP connection parameters

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 dial-string. 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 dial-string.

Detailed packet service use description

For more information on the configuration and use of the PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying packet service, see chapter 3.

5 Networking - ATM

Introduction

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 ATMF-25.6 port, is even capable to extend ATM connectivity up to your local PC or local network (via ATM switches).

In this chapter

The STHome Phonebook	5.2
AutoPVC	5.3

5.1 The ATM Packet Switching Technology

ATM Switching

ATM is a connection-oriented packet switching technology using fixed-size 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.

End-to-end connections are formed by cross-connecting 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).

End-to-end ATM connectivity

The following figure provides an overview of the end-to-end architecture of the ATM connectivity; from your STHome to remote access devices.

* This channel is not cross-connected
Hence no end-to-end connectivity!
Symbolizes a cross connection.

ATMF-25 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 ATMF-25.6 port.

It is the ATMF-25.6 PC-NIC of the PC that actually initiates, or terminates ATM VCs.

It is important to check in advance which protocols are supported by the ATMF-25.6 PC-NIC driver. At least RFC1483 and RFC2364 should be fully implemented.

Ethernet port

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 VC-MUX method

For Bridged PPPoE connections:

RFC 1483, Ethernet V2.0/IEEE 802.3 bridged PDUs for both the LLC/SNAP method and VC-MUX method

For PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying connections:

RFC 2364, PPP PDUs for both the LLC/NLPID method and VC-MUX method.

5.2 The Speed Touch Phonebook

Introduction

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 'Phonebook' page

Click Phonebook in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'Phonebook' page:

Tables

The 'Phonebook' table indicates all currently configured phonebook entries and allows to add or delete entries.

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.

Restrictions for adding phonebook entries

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 PPPoA-to-PPTP 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.

Adding phonebook entries

Proceed as follows:

1. Browse to the 'Phonebook' page.
2. Enter a name of your choice to identify the new phonebook entry in the 'Name' field.
3. Enter the VC's VPI and VCI values in the 'VPI' and 'VPI' fields. Note: In most cases these values are provided by your SP.
4. Select the Packet Service of your choice, or choose any from the 'Type' pop-down list.
5. Click Add and Save all to finish the procedure.

Deleting phonebook entries

On the 'Phonebook' page, click Delete next to the phonebook entry you want to delete. As a result your selection is deleted. Click Save all

5.3 AutoPVC

AutoPVC

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 cross-connected between the DSL port and the ATMF-25.6 port, can be remotely established.

Example

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:

Phonebook

In this way the user can distinguish the activated VC from dummy phonebook entries.

6 Networking Services - IP, DHCP and DNS

Introduction

For Internet access, and home networking, IP^(*) plays a crucial role. Due to the flexibility and the multitude of IP features, numerous configurations are possible.

(*) Although not the same, IP is often referred to as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/IP.

In this chapter

Packet Services and IP	6.1
STHome Addresses	6.2
STHome DHCP	6.3
STHome DNS	6.4

6.1 Packet Services and IP

Introduction

In this section the interaction between IP addresses and packet services is described.

Apart from Bridging, all packet services require the IP suite, and even the Bridging packet service will in most cases be used in combination with IP addressing.

In this section

Topic	See
Transparent Bridging	6.1.1
PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying	6.1.2

6.1.1 Transparent Bridging

IP vs. 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.

Typical Bridging setup

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.

Using TCP/IP and Bridging

Your SP may:

Provide you with an IP address
Require you to use DHCP.

Local IP communication

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.

6.1.2 PPPoA-to-PPTP Relaying

IP vs. PPPoA/PPTP

Prior to using PPTP, local IP addresses must be configured. The use of these IP addresses is limited to the local network.

Private IP addresses

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.

Public IP addresses

A second set of (Public) IP addresses having end-to-end scope will automatically be negotiated via the PPP protocol inside your PC(s).

Simultaneous use of public & private IP

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 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 dial-in applications allow a static IP address to be supplied.

6.2 Speed Touch Addresses

Introduction

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.

Assigning IP addresses to the STHome

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 'Ping-of-Life™
IP addresses assigned to the STHome via DHCP.

STHome and multiple IP addresses

As the STHome IP layer supports logical multi-homing (one interface supporting multiple IP addresses), both statically and dynamically configured IP address(es) can be active at the same time.

'IP address' table

On the STHome 'Routing' page the 'IP address' table summarizes all IP addresses configured on any of the STHome interfaces.

Setting an IP address via the 'Initial Setup' page

Proceed as follows:

1. Click Initial Setup in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'Initial Setup' page:

1. Enter an IP address in the 'IP Address' field.
2. Enter a netmask for applying subnetting in your network in the 'Subnetmask' field.
3. Click Apply . As a result the new IP settings are applied:

RESULT : the IP settings have been applied. Change the IP settings on your own machine (if needed) and point your browser at the new address (http://10.0.0.151/) to verify connectivity with the new configuration. Use 'Save all' to make it permanent.

1. To verify connectivity, point your Web browser to the new IP address. Make sure though that your PC shares the same subnet.
2. Click Save all to store the applied IP settings to permanent storage.

Sample configuration: single PC

In the below figure, a simple configuration is given: One PC attached to the STHome:

IP address : 10.0.0.138

(Sub)netmask:255.255.0.0

Default Gateway : none

IP address : 10.0.0.1

(Sub)netmask:255.255.0.0

Default Gateway : none

6.3 Speed Touch DHCP

DHCP Depending on the size and complexity of your network, a few DHCP configurations can be envisaged:

LAN Type	DHCP Mode	Argumentation
Simple	No	All few members of the small LAN have static IP addresses, including the STHome.
Medium sized	Server	For small home LANs it might be worthwhile to configure all of your LAN devices as DHCP clients, and the STHome as the DHCP server. In this configuration each time a computer starts, it will obtain its IP configuration from the STHome.
Advanced	Client	For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might be performed by an IP node other than the STHome on the local LAN.

Default STHome DHCP Per default the STHome DHCP server is disabled.

The 'DHCP' page

Click DHCP in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'DHCP' page:

'DHCP Server Start-up Mode' radiobuttons

The 'DHCP Server Start-up Mode' radiobutions allow to configure the STHome DHCP server mode.

Configuring the STHome for a LAN without DHCP

To setup the STHome without DHCP, tick No DHCP.

In this configuration, it is assumed that all members, the STHome included, have static IP addresses.

See subsection 6.2 for static IP addressing of the STHome.

Note: This configuration might be required in case you use the Transparent Bridging packet service.

Configuring the STHome as DHCP server

To setup the STHome as DHCP server, tick DHCP server.

Via the 'DHCP Server Configuration' tables, you can configure the STHome DHCP server settings.

Note: This setting might cause side effects with Bridging. See section 6.1.1 for more information.

Configuring the STHome as DHCP client

To setup the STHome as DHCP client, tick DHCP client on the 'DHCP' page.

Configuring the STHome for Auto DHCP

One of the STHome features is that it can automatically revert from DHCP client to DHCP server.

At boot time the STHome probes the LAN for a specified time limit ('Client timeout') to check whether another DHCP server is available on the network. If so, it will act as a DHCP client. If no response is received within the specified time, the STHome becomes a DHCP server.

To allow the STHome to act as Auto DHCP client/server, tick

Auto DHCP

Additionally, you can configure the 'Client timeout' in seconds:

Client timeout (seconds): [20

Via the 'DHCP server configuration' tables, you can configure the STHome DHCP server settings.

DHCP server configuration

Click Advanced on the 'DHCP' page to pop up the 'DHCP server configuration' page.

You can configure following DHCP server parameters:

Field	This configures ...	Default
Addresses through ...	The range of addresses the DHCP server can choose an IP address from for lease.	"Net10"
Subnet Mask	The subnetting applied to the local network, scoped by the DHCP server.	no subnetting
Lease Time	The time (Lease Time) IP addresses can be assigned to a device by DHCP.	7200 seconds
Default Gateway	The IP address of the default gateway.	'auto' (*)
DNS Server	The IP address of the DNS server.	'auto'(**)

() Setting 'auto' in the 'Def. Gateway' field means, that there will be referred to the 'Routing' page.
(*) Setting 'auto' in the 'DNS server' field means, that there will be referred to the 'DNS' page.

6.4 Speed Touch DNS

Introduction

IP addresses are fundamental to the operation of the Internet. IP addresses, being 32-bit 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.

This chapter describes STHome's DNS abilities.

The 'DNS' page

Click DNS in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'DNS' page:

Configuring the DNS server

Check the 'Server active' checkbox to enable the STHome DNS server (per default enabled).

In the 'Domain name' field you can enter the domain name of your LAN (default domain name is 'lan'). You may use a DNS subdomain name, e.g. dsl.office.lan. Click Apply and Save all to finish.

7 Maintenance - Speed Touch Software

Software Upgrade

The STHome supports two software upgrade possibilities:

You can upload new STHome software yourself from a PC on your local LAN
A new version of the software can be downloaded via the DSL line to your STHome.

Both features are simultaneously supported. However the final result depends on the SP's policy.

The 'Upgrade' page

Click Upgrade in the left pane of the STHome pages to pop up the 'Upgrade' page:

'Upgrade' page components

The following fields are shown:

'Active software version'

Indicates the software version the STHome is currently using.

'Passive software version'

Indicates the software version resident in the STHome, but not used. This could be a newer version which is yet to be switched to active, but also a dormant older version.

Software path field

Allows you to specify the path to the STHome upgrade software package to be uploaded.

Clicking Browse... allows you to browse to the location of the upgrade software.

Upgrade Preconditions

A valid STHome software package must reside either on a local drive, on a floppy disk or a CD-ROM.

For new software upgrade packages, please contact your SP or check the Alcatel web sites at:

http://www.alcatel.com

http://www.alcateldsl.com

Software upgrade via your LAN

Proceed as follows:

1. Browse to the 'Upgrade' page.

2. In the 'Active software version' field the software package that is running is labeled.

Check whether the 'Passive software version' field is empty. If not, click Remove passive

1. Click Browse... next to the 'Software path' input field to locate the upgrade software package

Note: If the path is known you can immediately enter it in the Software path' input field and skip step in this procedure.

1. The 'File Upload' window pops up. This window allows you to browse to the location of the upgrade software package on either your local drive, floppy, or CD-ROM.
2. Click on the appropriate upgrade software package name to select it and click Open

As a result, the upgrade software location will be inserted in the 'Software path' input field.

1. Click Upload to start the upload. As a result the upgrade software package name will appear in the 'Passive software version' field.
2. Click Switch over to start the switching of the two versions.

After switching the versions, the STHome reboots and will come online with the upgrade version. On the 'Upgrade' page you will notice that the active and passive software names are switched:

Software upgrade via the SP

The STHome supports a second software upgrade possibility: a new version of the software can be downloaded from the DSL network to your STHome via dedicated control VCs.

This feature is controlled by the SP. Software download will happen almost unnoticed, while you are connected to the DSL line. The removal of a possible dormant software version, the download itself, and the switching of both versions is performed automatically.

Note: DSL service can be interrupted for a short period due to a reboot of the STHome.

8 Maintenance - Speed Touch Password

In this chapter

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.

Note

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.

Therefore, write your system password down and keep it on a save place.

Otherwise, a Switch-to-Defaults must be performed restoring all original settings of the STHome.

Setting a system password

Proceed as follows:

1. Click System setup on the STHome pages to pop up the 'System setup' page:

1. In the 'Password' field, fill in a password.

Note: Asterisks will appear instead of the password. The number of asterisks is at random.

1. Click Apply
2. To make your password permanent, click Save all
   5.伪造 your password, using the system password, you just configured.

Result

Every time you want to access the STHome pages or (Telnet) CLI you must authenticate yourself, using the system password.

Clearing a system password

To clear the STHome system password you must clear the 'Password' field, i.e. delete all asterisks. Click Apply and Save all to store your changes.

No authentication is required anymore to access the STHome pages or the (Telnet) CLI.

9 Maintenance - Speed Touch To-Defaults

Introduction

Non accessibility to your STHome may occur if wrongly configured, simply by forgetting its IP address, or forgetting the system password.

Due to the flexible nature of the STHome, you may end up in a situation where restoring all of the original defaults is the only solution.

The STHome has tools to cope with these situations.

In this chapter

Topic	See
Ping-of-Life™	9.1
STHome Reset	9.2

9.1 Ping-of-Life

Introduction

The STHome offers a unique method to supply an IP address to the STHome's Ethernet port.

This method, the Ping-of-Life™, allows to provide the STHome with an IP address without affecting other configurational settings.

IP Addresses and Subnet Masks

Make sure that the intended STHome IP address and your PC share the same IP (sub)network.

If not, the ping will be submitted with the MAC address of the default router instead of the special MAC group address.

The Ping-of-LifeTM procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Turn off the STHome.
2. Open a command-line (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 01-90-D0-80-01-01 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
7. Turn on the STHome.

1. After the STHome finished its POST, it will configure the IP address you are pinging.
2. You must clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing the following command:

arp -d

1. Verify connectivity by pinging the STHome a second time:

ping

The STHome should reply.

1. Browse to the STHome pages and click Save all to make the new IP address permanent.

Example DOS box

In the following figure all the steps are shown as an example of setting STHome's IP address to 10.0.0.145 from a PC with an MS Windows OS:

9.2 Speed Touch Reset

Overview of the To-Defaults methods

To restore STHome's original settings, three methods are provided:

Two local software methods:

Browse-to-Defaults

Which sets all parameters to original defaults, but keeps the system password and IP address.

• Ping-to-Defaults™

Which sets all parameters to original defaults, including the system password and IP address.

One hardware method: Switch-to-Defaults.

Restoring Original Settings

Be careful when using the Browse-to-Defaults, Ping-to-Defaults™, or the Switch-to-Defaults procedures as these destroy changes you previously made to the STHome internal settings.

A reset to defaults via a Ping-to-Defaults™, or via a Switch-to-Defaults, also implies the STHome's IP address is reset to 10.0.0.138.

In this section

Topic	See
Browse-to-Defaults	9.2.1
Ping-to-Defaults™	9.2.2
Switch-to-Defaults	9.2.3

9.2.1 Browse-to-Defaults

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Click System setup on the STHome pages to pop up the 'System setup' page:

1. Click Defaults if you are sure to reset the STHome to its original defaults.
2. The STHome will ask to confirm the reset:

Confirm reset to defaults of complete configuration OK Cancel

1. Click OK if you are sure. Otherwise click Cancel.
2. Click Save all to make the Browse-to-Defaults permanent.
3. Press the reload button of your Web browser.

Browse-to-Defaults result

After reset, all original configurations of the STHome are restored, except the STHome Ethernet IP address(es).

9.2.2 Ping-to-Defaults

Introduction

A second software method to reset all settings to the original defaults is the Ping-to-Defaults™.

The technique is identical to that used for the Ping-of-Life™, except that another MAC address is used, i.e. 01-90-D0-80-01-FF.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Turn off the STHome.
2. Open a command-line (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 01-90-D0-80-01-FF

can be any address within your subnet as long as it is not used by any other member of your local network.

1. To verify whether this step was successful execute arp -a
2. Initiate a continuous pinging, by executing following command:

ping -t

1. Turn on the STHome.
2. After the STHome finished its POST, it will perform a reset to default settings.
3. You must clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing the following command:

arp -d

1. If needed, reconfigure the STHome IP address, e.g. via a Ping-of-Life™.

Note

The used to perform a Ping-to-Defaults™ is not assimilated by your STHome. The STHome will restart with the original defaults, including the default IP address 10.0.0.38.

9.2.3 Switch-to-Defaults

Introduction At the back of the STHome there is a small push button labeled "Defaults".

Via this button a hardware reset of the STHome, the Switch-to-Defaults, is possible.

Procedure 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.

1. 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.
