that frames or packets get forwarded from the LAN side towards
the DSL line and vice versa.
" Transparent Bridging
" Bridged PPPoE
" PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying
" PPP & IP Routing
" CIP & IP Routing.
All examples in this User's Guide are based on the Internet
Protocol (IP) suite.
However, the AST710 DSL router is a true multiprotocol device: it

6.2 Packet Services at a Glance
The AST710 supports two access methods:
" Direct access
Once initial configuration is done, continuous and immediate
access is available via the DSL line.
For direct access use either of:
D Transparent Bridging
D CIP & IP Routing.
" DialĆin access
In this mode access must be explicitly established, e.g. by
dialing" into a Remote Access Server (RAS).
For dialĆin access use either of:
D Bridged PPPoE
D PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying
D PPP & IP Routing.
As their names imply the packet services can be differentiated in
two groups:
" Forwarding packet services:
D Transparent Bridging
D Bridged PPPoE
D PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying.
These packet services forward frames unmodified.
" Routing packet services:
D PPP & IP Routing
D CIP & IP Routing.
These packet services, combined with NA(P)T allow to share a
single IP address amongst multiple users on the LAN.

The AST710 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 AST710's bridge, connectivity
can be established.
The other method to get in touch with the SP over the DSL line is
PPPoA.
" PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying
Similar to Bridged PPPoE, this requires installation of a PPTP
dialĆin application (*) on your PC(s).
" PPP & IP Routing
PPPoA SP access can equally be accomplished by the
embedded PPPoA dialĆin client of the AST710.
(*) Most popular OSs have a PPTP dialĆin application installed, e.g. Microsoft
DialĆUp Networking.
The AST710 IP router can also be combined with Classical IP
(CIP).
Classical IP is a mature technique for creating classical IP networks
on top of ATM technology. It is widely supported by most, if not all
remote access routers.
Although not the original aim of Classical IP it is mostly used for
connecting routers over wide area pointĆtoĆpoint links.

7.1 Preparatory Steps
" VPI/VCI value of the VC(s) to use on the DSL line
" Bridging packet service must be supported on these VCs
" Encapsulation method (LLC/SNAP)
" The PC's IP configuration: static or dynamic (DHCP).
Note: The RFC1483 is updated by RFC2684. The AST710 fully complies with
the relevant sections in both RFCs.
You can attach up to four connections (VCs ) to the bridge.
To conserve DSL upstream bandwidth do not attach more
connections than needed.
Bridging does not impose specific requirements to your PC's
protocol layers. However, make sure that these are properly
installed and configured.
In all subsequent examples, TCP/IP will be used.
For TCP/IP, your SP will assign either static IP parameters or will
ask to enable DHCP (per PC).
Transparent Bridging and DHCP
If the SP requires you to use DHCP on your local PC(s), you must
disable the AST710 DHCP server.
This is to avoid conflicts between two DHCP servers.

9.2 Using PPPoAĆPPTP Relaying
Before you can create a PPTP tunnel towards the AST710, firstly
you must initially configure a PPTP dialĆup connection on your PC.
Once this PPTP dialĆup connection is configured you can use it to
open a PPPoA/PPTP connection to the remote side of the DSL line.
Because the configuration and use of such a connection follows
similar patterns for all popular OSs, this section will describe the
procedures in global.
In section 9.3 an example is provided on how to create and use a
PPTP DialĆUp icon in MS Windows 98.

9.2.1 Preparing the PC for PPTP Tunneling
Most, if not all OSs provide a Graphical User Interface (GUI)
guided procedure for the initial creation of a PPTP connection
icon.
The result of such creation is in most cases an icon or entry in a
folder or a table called 'RAS', 'DialĆUp Networking', 'PPTP', 'Call
sessions', 'Remote Access', etc.
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
AST710's IP address or DNS hostname.
Optionally, you can complete this entry with
" The VC's PPTP phonebook name - configured on your
AST710 - 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 dialĆstring. This allows the AST710 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 dialĆstring.

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.
See section 12.2 for more information.
Depending on your OS, you can open a session by either doubleĆ
clicking the PPTP session icon or selecting it from a RAS table and
clicking 'DialĆUp' or 'Connect'.
Before you can actually browse the Internet or contact the remote
side's resources, you must supply the following credentials:
" A username
" An associated password.
Note: Most, if not all OSs allow the credentials to be saved.

this format.
Keep
The AST710 will not change the PPP
frame arriving via a tunnel.
The AST710 will make sure that FFĆ03
will never be found in front of a PPP
frame encapsulated on a AAL5/ATM
connection, independent of the actual
format of the PPP frame in the tunnel.
This setting is default, and follows
RFC2364.
Note: This configuration possibility applies only to the upstream
direction ! In the downstream direction, the AST710 will always
make sure that FFĆ03 is in front of the frame prior to put it in a
PPTP tunnel.
In order to cope with these PPP frame differences, the AST710
adapts to the different formats on a 'per connection' base.
Additionally, the AST710 offers the following PPP/AAL5 format
configuration options via the CLI if interoperability problems

Three methods exist to open a PPP & IP Routing session:
" DialĆin
The session is opened manually.
" AlwaysĆon
After the AST710 is powered and finished its POST
successfully, the AST710 automatically tries to open the PPP
session.
" DialĆonĆdemand
The session is opened automatically, triggered by the arrival
or departure of packets at an AST710 Ethernet port, destined
for a PPP connection.
Per default, following PPP & IP Routing connections are
preconfigured:
" PPP1: dialĆin connection
" PPP2: alwaysĆon connection
" DHCP_SPOOF: spoofing connection.
In case these entries do not meet your requirements, you can
configure a new one as follows:
1. If needed, add a PPP phonebook entry with the correct
VPI/VCI on the 'Phonebook' page.
2. On the 'PPP' page, select this phonebook entry from the
'Name' popĆdown list.

10.4.3 IP Routing Related Configurations
If a PPP session is opened successfully (either manually by the user,
triggered by LAN traffic, or automatic at boot time), routes are
automatically added to the AST710's routing table.
The settings in the PPP's 'IP Routing' input box, are reflected in the
routing table.
For advanced users, the AST710 allows manual configuration of
routes to dedicated destinations.
See section 13.5 for more information.
Moreover, routes can be configured via the CLI, which will only be
added to the IP route table upon establishing the PPP connection.
See chapter 20 for more information on the CLI.

The 'Connection Sharing' field allows you to configure which LAN
members, besides the PC that opened the PPP session, can use the
PPP connection.
Three options are available:
" Only Me
Only frames of the PC that opened the PPP session will be
routed via this PPP connection.
Suppose you opened a PPP session to your corporate and
other LAN members are surfing the Internet.
Via this option you can prevent them from using the PPP
connection to your corporate as their gateway to the Internet.
" Everybody
All PC(s) on the local LAN can forward frames over this PPP
connection. This option is the exact opposite to 'Only me'.
If you open a PPP session to the Internet, other LAN members
can share the PPP connection. In this way they are not
required to open a session themselves.
" My net only
Only PC(s) having the same network, and subnet number as
the PC that opened the outbound PPP session, can use the
PPP connection.
The following table lists the used netmasks, related to the three
possible options:

In case you want to privilege access via a particular PPP
connection for specific PCs, proceed as follows::
Step Action
1 Configure the PCs, to which you want to privilege outbound access
via this PPP connection, in a particular subnet of your local LAN.
Note: Don't forget to make the AST710 also a member of this
workgroup.
2 Configure the 'Connection Sharing' box of the particular PPP
connection for 'My net only'.
3 It is sufficient now to open the PPP session of this PPP connection
from one PC of this subnet.
Note: As a result, only the members of that particular subnet can share this PPP
connection.
The 'Destination networks' field allows you to configure which
destination can be reached over the particular PPP connection.
Four options are available:
" All networks
The AST710 can potentially route frames to all destinations
over this PPP connection. The PPP connection acts as if it was
a default gateway.
" Remote net only
A PPP connection configured for 'Remote net only', only
forwards frames that is destined to this specific network. All
other frames are blocked.
" Remote host only
Only those frames with a destination IP address which
matches exactly with this entry in the AST710 routing table
are forwarded over this PPP connection. In fact, only
communication with the single remote host is possible.
" Specific network defined below
If all previous cases do not fulfill your requirements, 'Specific
network'
might help you out: you can specify which
destination(s) are reachable over this PPP connection. Only if
the destination IP address of a packet matches with this entry,
the packet is forwarded over this PPP connection.

10 Configuration and Use - PPP & IP Routing

3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
During the opening of a PPP session, IP addresses are negotiated
between the two peers for the PPP connection. The Local IP' and
'Remote IP' fields influence this negotiation.
Typically at the client side, the 'Local IP' and 'Remote IP' boxes are
left empty. This forces the client to ask the remote server for
addresses.
In case you want to set up the AST710 as PPP server, suitable
values for your network configuration must be supplied:
" Setting a local IP address
Forces the remote PPP client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as the AST710 PPP session IP address.
" Setting a remote IP address
Forces the remote client (if it allows to) to accept this IP
address as its PPP session IP address.
The 'Mode' field allows you to configure how a PPP session is
opened.
Three options are available:
" DialĆin
The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
next
to the PPP connection in the 'DialĆin' page.
" AlwaysĆon
After the AST710 is powered and finished its Power On Self
Test (POST) successfully, the AST710 automatically tries to
open a PPP session for the PPP connection.
" DialĆonĆdemand
The PPP session is opened automatically for a limited period
of time. The opening of the session is triggered by the arrival
of packets at the AST710 Ethernet port, to be sent over the
PPP connection.
Note: By default one PPP connection is configured as 'DialĆin' (i.e. PPP1),
another as 'AlwaysĆon' (i.e. PPP2).

3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
In case you configured a PPP connection for 'DialĆonĆdemand',
the 'Idle Time Limit' box allows you to specify the time after which
an opened, but unused PPP session is closed.
If left free, the idle limit time is infinite (i.e. the PPP session will
never be closed).
If a PPP session is up, it can issue Link Control Protocol (LCP)
echo requests at regular intervals and expects LCP echo replies in
return.
This checkbox allows to turn on/off LCP echo request/replies by
respectively checking (n), or unchecking.
By default LCP echo is on (i.e. checked n), allowing the local PPP
peer to detect communication errors, resulting in closing of the
PPP session.
The AST710 features two authentication protocols to be used:
" Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP).
" Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)
Per default the AST710 will negotiate CHAP with the BroadBand
RAS (BBRAS) as it is the safest authentication protocol. However,
PAP will be allowed, if needed.
Setting the PAP flag (n) will force the AST710 only to negotiate
PAP with the BBRAS.
Address and Control field COMPression (ACCOMP), sometimes
abbreviated as ACCM, is by default enabled, i.e. checked (n).
This checkbox should not be unchecked, except in special
circumstances, i.e. where the remote PPP server expects to see
HDLC like framing (FF03 imposed to the PPP packet).

10.4.5 NA(P)T and PPP & IP Routing
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a technique that allows you
to shield or decouple an internal (Private) IP address from the
(negotiated) external (Public) IP address.
In addition, via Port Address Translation (PAT), this single external
Public IP address is mapped onto multiple internal ports on the
LAN, thus allowing multiple users to share this external IP address
simultaneously.
The amalgam of address & port allocation is often referred to as
Network Address and Port Translation (NA(P)T).
All supported protocols that are NA(P)T insensitive, pass
transparently through NA(P)T.
In addition, the AST710 supports also the following protocols as
NA(P)T insensitive:
" All generic TCP/UDP protocols, e.g. HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol)
" Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
" File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
" Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
" Real Audio
" Real Time Stream Protocol (RTSP).
You can enable/disable NA(P)T via the 'PPP Configuration' page
per PPP entry.
In the 'Routing' box (See subsection 10.4.3) it is possible to
check/uncheck the NAT flag (n).
The NA(P)T feature comes at the expense of the AST710
transparency. For consequences and solutions, see subsection
10.4.6.

10.4.6 NA(P)T and AST710 Transparency
As described in subsection 10.4.5, the AST710 can perform
NA(P)T to decouple your local IP addresses from the public IP
address negotiated during a PPP session.
However, this feature comes at the expense of the AST710
transparency. This because a number of protocols that are layered
on top of either TCP/IP, or UDP/IP do not adhere to the ISO/OSI
reference model.
Note: The ISO Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model promotes
the layered implementation of communications protocol stacks. Layers from
protocol stacks implemented according to this model can be changed without
affecting the upper or lower layers.
" Consequences of NA(P)T on Layers
" AST710 Solutions
" Via the PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relay

An important consequence is that changing IP addresses or
TCP/UDP ports via NA(P)T affects the other layers as well.
Due to these changes, applications that are the ultimate
consumers of the protocols cannot decode the information
correctly anymore.

The AST710 offers some solutions to cope with this situation.
Basically these solutions boil down in transporting Public IP
addresses transparently through the AST710 towards a device
where a more advanced NA(P)T can be performed.
Two solutions are described in the following paragraphs:
" Via the PPPĆtoĆPPTP Relay
" PPPĆtoĆDHCP Spoofing.
You might consider the following setup below:
Step Action
1 Install a second Ethernet PCĆNIC, next to the existing Ethernet
PCĆNIC, in a PC.
2 Install an OS on this PC that has routing capabilities, e.g. Windows
NT, UNIX, Linux, etc.
3 Install on this PC a NAT/PAT package that supports all TCP/IP
protocols.
Now this PC can act as some 'home gateway'.
4 Connect an Ethernet port of the AST710 to one of two PC's Ethernet
PCĆNIC.
5 Connect your local LAN to the second Ethernet PCĆNIC.
By setting up a PPTP tunnel from the 'home gateway', the Public IP
address is transported transparently through the AST710 to end
up in the 'home gateway' where more complex NAT and/or PAT
operations can be performed.
PPPĆtoĆDHCP Spoofing

104 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
A second technique is to use the PPPĆtoĆDHCP Spoofing feature of
the AST710. The network configuration is practically identical to
the one described above:
Step Action
1 Install two Ethernet PCĆNICs in a PC.
2 Install an OS on this PC that has routing capabilities, e.g. Windows
NT, UNIX, Linux, etc.
3 Install on this PC a NAT/PAT package that supports all TCP/IP
protocols.
Now this PC can act as some 'home gateway'.
4 Connect (one of) the Ethernet interface(s) of the AST710 to the PC's
Ethernet PCĆNIC port.
5 Connect your local LAN to the other Ethernet PCĆNIC.
6 Configure the PC (acting as 'home gateway') as DHCP client.
7 Configure the AST710 as DHCP server.
8 DHCP in the AST710 must be configured for DHCP Spoofing. See
section 13.4 for more information.
9 At least one PPP connection must begin with the mnemonic "DHCP"
in its phonebook name, e.g. DHCP_Spoof.
As soon as a DHCP request from the home gateway hits
the AST710, a PPPĆtoĆDHCP Spoofing connection is triggered.
The IP parameters that are negotiated with the remote peer, are
carried up to the home gateway via a DHCP reply message.

Note: The RFC1577 on which Classical IP over ATM relies is updated by
RFC2225. The AST710 fully complies with both RFCs.
The AST710 can manage up to 12 CIP connections
simultaneously.
Note: Check with your SP whether multiple endĆtoĆend connectivity is enabled.
In order to use the CIP & IP Routing mode of the AST710, the OS

11.2.1 General CIP Configuration Procedure
Due to the many decisions that must be made in order to be able
to configure the AST710 to be an active member of a LIS, the
procedure to be followed is best retrieved from the following
decision table:
Step Decision and/or Action See
1
Answer Action and Description
Yes
No You can create the LIS with IP parameters of
your choice. See topic 'Creating a New LIS' of
subsection 11.2.2.
In case you create a new LIS, you must create
the LIS at both end of the DSL connection, i.e.
at the local, and on the remote side.
You must retrieve the LIS IP parameters to
which your local configuration must adhere to.
See topic 'Configuration for an Existing LIS' of
subsection 11.2.2.
Are you configuring the AST710 for an existing LIS ?
11.2.2
2 Retrieve the appropriate LIS parameters, and check on
which VCs (identifiable by their VPI/VCI values) your service
provider enabled the CIP packet service.
11.2.2

If needed, create a CIP phonebook entry, i.e. a CIP PVC, in
the 'Phonebook' page.
11.4
4
Is the remote access router a RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant device,
e.g. another AST710?
Answer Action and Description
Yes
No
The remote access router will not respond to
'InATMARP' requests submitted by the AST710,
thus the CIP PVC must be explicitly assigned to
the CIP member.
The remote access router will respond to
'InATMARP' requests, thus the CIP PVC can be
implicitly assigned to the CIP member.

11.2.2 Retrieving LIS Parameters
The LIS is an important CIP concept. It is a group of IP machines
configured as members of the same IP subnet. In other words:
they share the same IP network and subnetwork numbers.
In most cases this LIS will be a corporate LAN/WAN environment,
which is interconnected via the DSL/ATM network.
In order to be able to properly configure your AST710 for sharing
the same logical IP subnet, you must know the following LIS
parameters:
" The IP network number
" The IP subnetwork number
" The remote access router's RFC1577/RFC2225 compliancy
state
" The remote access router IP address, in the case it is not
RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant.
Of course, in case you know the IP address of one member of the
LIS, and the associated netmask, you also have enough
information.
For an existing LIS, you must configure the AST710 CIP settings,
according to the existing LIS parameters.
If the default CIP member's IP parameters, and the CIP
connection's remote IP address, configured in the AST710, match
with these parameters, nothing needs to be configured.
However, make sure that the CIP member's local IP address is not
ambiguous within the LIS.
In the case of creating a new LIS, you are recommended to use
the default CIP configurations of the AST710. In case the remote
access router is also a AST710, best results are assured.
Note: Both ends of the LIS must be properly configured for connectivity,
inclusive the routing tables.

11.2.3 Implicit Assignment Mechanism
If the remote side is RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant, e.g. another
AST710, your local AST710 is able to retrieve the remote IP
address of the CIP PVC, by issuing an InATMARP request on that
PVC.
That way, you must not specify an IP address for the CIP PVCs you
add to the 'CIP Connections' table, it will be implicitly assigned
when connecting to the LIS.
The sequence below describes an example of an implicit
assignment mechanism:
Phase Decision and Description
1 Suppose you added a CIPPVC without supplying an IP address (e.g.
CIPPVC2).
2 The AST710 will automatically issue an InATMARP request on this
PVC.
3 Is the remote side is RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant ?
Yes No
4 It responds with an InATMARP
reply, containing its IP address.
The CIP's remote IP address in the
'CIP Connections' table is
completed.
"Unresolved" will show up in the
'Remote IP Address' field.
Consequently the CIPPVC cannot
be assigned and IP connectivity

11.2.4 Explicit Assignment Mechanism
In the case of a remote access server which is not
RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant, it will not respond to InATMARP
requests.
As a consequence, the AST710 can not retrieve the remote IP
address to assign the CIP PVC to the CIP member.
Therefore you must explicit assign a remote IP address to the CIP
PVC.
The default configuration of the AST710 is an example of the
explicit assignment of a CIP PVC to a CIP member:
In the 'CIP Interfaces' table, the CIP member is configured as
follows:
In the 'CIP Connections' table, the remote IP address is statically
configured:
Consequently, CIPPVC1 is explicitly assigned to cip0.
Both local and remote IP addresses must fall within the same IP
network and IP subnetwork, according the LIS parameters.

11.2.5 Configuring the AST710 for CIP
After retrieving the LIS parameters, you must configure the
AST710, according to these parameters.
This section describes in short the global procedure for
configuring your AST710 'Phonebook' and 'CIP' pages.
By default the AST710 is configured for a CIP VC as used in the
example of section 11.2.7. If this VC is appropriate to your,
and/or the SP's needs, nothing has to be configured in the
AST710 phonebook.
If this VC does not match the requirements, three other CIP
phonebook entries are available to add.
However, in the case none of the entries match, you must add a
CIP phonebook entry yourself.
Adding phonebook entries is described in section 12.2.
The default CIP phonebook entry mentioned above is by default
configured for a LIS according to the example of section 11.2.7. If
this LIS configuration meets your requirements, nothing needs to
be configured, and your AST710 is ready for use.
However, if additional configuration is needed, you can configure
CIP members yourself.
The assignment of your CIP PVC to the CIP member can be done
implicit, or explicit, according the RFC1577/RFC2225 compliancy
of the remote access router.
Configuration of the AST710 'CIP' page is fully described in
section 11.4.

11.2.6 Adding Appropriate Routes to the Routing Tables
IP routing is a very important aspect of a LIS configuration.
This subsection describes how you can ensure endĆtoĆend
connectivity for a CIP environment.
" Configuring the AST710 for LIS Connectivity, Basic
" Configuring the AST710 for LIS Connectivity, Advanced
" Configuring your LAN PCs for EndĆtoĆEnd Connectivity
" Routing Table Configuration.
Generally, for proper CIP routing, an IP route pointing to the
remote access router must exist in your AST710's IP routing table.
If the remote access router is RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant, no
routes for LIS connectivity need to be configured by yourself for the
AST710's IP router. This because it automatically adds two
necessary routes as soon you configure the CIP member, i.e. two
default gateways, thus any (0.0.0.0/0) as source address, and
with:
" The LIS's local CIP member's IP address, i.e. the AST710's
CIP interface address as destination
and
" The LIS's IP subnetwork (based on the CIP member's IP
parameters) as destination.
As the RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant remote access router, falls
within the same LIS as the AST710 CIP member, it is also a
member of the second route's destination IP subnetwork.
If the remote access router is not RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant,
you must add this default route (with the known remote IP
address) yourself.

The possibility exists to add routes yourself, e.g. to be more
specific in the source IP address pool.
The default added routes have any as source address, meaning
that all local hosts can use this gateway to connect to the LIS via
the CIP interface.
However, you might want to embed restrictions in LIS access by
creating a subnet in your LAN, e.g. 10.0.1.x, and privilege access
to the LIS - and its beyond LAN - to this subnet by adding a
route pointing to the remote access router (implicit, or explicit) but
now with source IP address pool 10.0.1.0/24.
Of course then the default IP routes configured by default, must be
deleted.
In order to have endĆtoĆend connectivity from your PCs to the
remote side of the CIP connection and beyond you must add
routes having the AST710 Ethernet interface IP address as
gateway.
By specifying 0.0.0.0/0 as destination and the AST710 local
Ethernet IP address as gateway the AST710 is configured as the
default gateway for all connection requests.
However, you can specify a destination IP address pool, e.g. if the
remote LAN's IP subnetwork is 192.6.11.x, you can add routes in
your PC's routing table with destination 192.6.11.0/32, and the
AST710 as gateway.
Configuring routes for the AST710 is described in subsection
13.5.2.

At the local premisses an IP network, 10.x.x.x, is created.
An IP address is configured on the Ethernet port (10.0.0.138).
On the DSL side of the AST710(1) one CIP member is by default
enabled. This CIP member is configured with IP address
172.16.1.1 and is part of the LIS 172.16.1.x.
One VC in the AST710(1) phonebook (CIPPVC1), is explicitly
assigned to this CIP member. This VC(8/80) is crossĆconnected to
the remote destination.

Note

3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
At the remote DSL side, the CIP LIS is terminated by access
router(2) and IP packets are forwarded to local servers, or the
Internet and vice versa.
Here, the CIP member is configured with IP address 172.16.1.2
and is part of the same LIS 172.16.1.x.
Additionally, a VC, with the same VPI/VCI values 8/80, is assigned
to this CIP member (e.g. implicit assignment, because AST710(1)
is RFC1577/RFC2225 compliant).
The routing engine must be configured with routes to the final
destinations.
For the given example, the configuration is as follows:
" AST710(1) has its default route pointing to access router(2)
The local PCs of IP network 10.0.0.x have default gateways
pointing to AST710(1)
" The access router(2) has a route for Net10" (10.0.0.0)
pointing to AST710(1)
The remote IP network 192.168.0.x has a default gateway
pointing to access router(2).
You will notice that the example relies exclusively on Private IP
addresses. Depending the application though, other IP addresses
in combination with NA(P)T (configurable via the CLI) can be
used.

11.3 Using CIP & IP Routing
Similar to classical LAN networking, CIP adheres to the
"alwaysĆon" concept.
IP packets sourced by local PCs, arrive via the Ethernet segment in
the AST710. The latter makes routing decisions based on the
destination IP address of the packet. If the packet ends up in the
CIP member it will on its turn determine to which VC it has to
output the packet.
You can check IP connectivity from any PC on the local Ethernet
segment. Therefor, ping the IP address at the far end of the virtual
connection; e.g. for the example of subsection 11.2.7, this would
be 172.16.1.2, or thus
ping 172.16.1.2.
The IP router in the AST710 forwards packets between the
Ethernet port and the Classical IP entity sitting on top of the
DSL/ATM port. In turn, the CIP entity determines which VC it has to
output the packet to, prior to ATM encapsulation.

12 Networking - ATM
All data or voice arriving at and departing from your AST710 via
the DSL line is carried in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells.
In this way, ATM is the fundamental communication language"
for the AST710 towards the remote devices.

12.1 The ATM Packet Switching Technology
ATM is a connectionĆoriented packet switching technology using
fixedĆsize packets, called cells.
These cells consist of a header and a payload - being either
voice, or data - and are switched through a public or private
ATM network depending on the contents of the header.
EndĆtoĆend data connections are formed by crossĆconnecting
individual ATM segments in ATM switches.
EndĆtoĆend voice connections are established via the classical
telephone switching techniques at the Central Office (CO), but are
then encapsulated in ATM to run over your dedicated DSL
connection.

12.1.1 ATM Parameters
ATM uses VCs to create individual communication links between
network nodes. ATM uses two types of VCs:
" Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs) are static connections
between network nodes that are configured statically. For a
Permanent Virtual Channel (PVC) the nodes of the connection
operate as if they are connected with a dedicated physical
line.
" Switched Virtual Channels (SVCs) are similar to voice
telephone network connections. These are temporary
connections between any two end points on the network and
are configured via signaling. A Switched Virtual
Channel (SVC) is created dynamically for each session and
released when the information exchange is complete.
Currently all AST710 ATM connections are static, i.e. of type PVC.
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.

Practically speaking, a number of VCs to one, or multiple remote

By default, a number of channels are terminated in the AST710,
including one VoDSL channel.
EndĆtoĆend ATM connectivity is the responsibility of local
operators. There might be regional differences in the type and
number of ATM channels that are crossĆconnected.
If problems are encountered, check with your SP for more
information.

12.1.3 ATM and Interfaces
ATM traffic arriving at the AST710 is is either switched to
the Ethernet ports or to the VoDSL ports.
Inside ATM VCs any protocol can be transported. However, at
both endpoints - that is where the ATM channels are terminated
-, the same protocol must be supported. If not, there will be no
endĆtoĆend connectivity.
These ports terminate a number of ATM connections and extract
frames from arriving cells and encapsulate frames in departing
cells. Only frames recognized/supported by the AST710 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 VCĆMUX method
" For Bridged PPPoE connections:
RFC 1483, Ethernet V2.0/IEEE 802.3 bridged PDUs for both
the LLC/SNAP method and VCĆMUX method
" For PPPoA/PPTP connections:
RFC 2364, PPP PDUs for both the LLC/NLPID method and
VCĆMUX method
" For PPP & IP Routing connections:
RFC 2364, PPP PDUs for both the LLC/NLPID method and
VCĆMUX method
" For Routed CIP connections:
RFC 1483 LLC/SNAP method for Routed PDUs.
The AST710 extracts incoming voice information from arriving
cells and encapsulates outgoing voice information in departing
ATM cells. Only information recognized/supported by the AST710
on the configured VoDSL ATM connection are forwarded to the
appropriate VoDSL port.

12.2 The Speed Touch Phonebook
The AST710 phonebook is like any ordinary phonebook:
A repository for names and numbers".
However, in contrast to a standard phonebook, it contains
additional data connectivity information.
Basic to the AST710 operation are ATM VCs. The AST710
phonebook is the management tool for all possible ATM VC data
connections.
This section describes how to use the AST710 phonebook, and
consequently how to manage this VC pool.

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.
" PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying phonebook entries may not start with
a capital 'P' or a capital 'T'.
" In case you want to use the AST710 PPPĆtoĆDHCP Spoofing
feature, the name of the PPP entry you intend to use with this
feature, must start with 'DHCP', e.g. DHCP_Spoof1, DHCP_2,
etc.
" You may not configure a VC for DSL data service which is
reserved for VoDSL voice service.
Each entry in the AST710 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 or is
configured on the 'VoDSL' page will result in an error message.

12.2.3 AutoPVC and the Phonebook
The default VCs, can be remotely modified via the A utoPVC
feature of the AST710. AutoPVC operates only in conjunction with
the Alcatel DSLAM - often referred to as ATM Subscriber Access
Multiplexer (ASAM) - and AST710, and offers the functionality
that user VCs, to be terminated on the Ethernet port, can be
notified by the AST710.
Basically the following steps are executed:
1. The SP configures VCs on the DSLAM.
2. Via AutoPVC the VPI/VCI values are communicated to the
AST710.
3. AutoPVC messages are subsequently processed by the
AST710, according to the two criteria listed below.
Any PVC, or VPI/VCI communicated via AutoPVC is added to the
AutoPVC list on the 'Phonebook' page.
If AutoPVC is not supported by the DSLAM, this list is empty.
An AutoPVC VPI value in the range from 0 up to 15 will be
notified in the AutoPVC list.
If the VPI/VCI value is used in the Phonebook, this phonebook
entry will be highlighted by a yellow bar.

Example 2

3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
If the SP configures Virtual Path (VP) 5 on the DSLAM, then the
AST710 crossĆconnects VPI 5 on the DSL line to VPI 5 on the
Ethernet ports.
Suppose the SP configures one of the AST710's default
terminated VCs, e.g. 8/35, on the ASAM.
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:
In this way the user can distinguish the activated VC from dummy
phonebook entries.

The AST710 uses ATMĆAAL2 to encapsulate the digitized voice
packets.
To ensure the quality of service for a phone connection, the VoDSL
VC occupies a (minimum) secured bandwidth space in the DSL
frequency spectrum, and overrules the migration priority of data
packets.
Moreover, the ATM cells containing the voice packets are sent with
a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) over this privileged space, thus ensuring
impeccable voice quality, and solid connectivity.
The VC ends up at the CO where a VoDSL Gateway extracts the
digitalized voice packets from the ATM cells.
The analog baseband information is retrieved from the voice
packets and forwarded towards the classic telephony network.
From that point on, your telephone connection is a true regular
telephone connection.

13 Networking - IP
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.
This chapter highlights some general IP parameters and some
possible IP configurations for the below purposes:
" Internet access via your SP
" Private LANĆtoĆLAN interconnections over the DSL/ATM
network
" Local IP connectivity towards other PCs on your LAN.

13.1 Speed Touch and IP
In this section all IP features of the AST710 are shortly described.
The AST710 has a preconfigured Net10" address: 10.0.0.138.
As the AST710 IP layer supports logical multiĆhoming (one
interface supporting multiple IP addresses), multiple manually
configured IP addresses and multiple dynamically assigned IP
address(es) can be active at the same time.
The AST710 features a DHCP server.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the PC(s) on
your local network to retrieve automatically an IP address from an
IP address leasing" server, i.e. a DHCP server.
See subsection 13.4 for more information.
The AST710 features an IP router.
In general, IP Routing allows hosts to contact other hosts which
reside in other (sub)networks.
For the AST710 the main function of the IP router is to route IP
packets from the local network to the remote networks over
the ATM/DSL connections and vice versa.
See section 13.5 for more information.
The AST710 features a combination of Network Address
Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) called NA(P)T.
Combined with the AST710 IP Router, NA(P)T allows multiple PCs
to share a single public IP address.

13.2 Packet Services and IP
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.

13.2.1 Transparent Bridging
Basically, Bridging does not require any IP address at all: neither
in your PC(s), nor in your AST710.
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 AST710's DHCP server must be
disabled.
Your SP may:
" Provide you with an IP address
" Require you to use DHCP.
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 AST710 DHCP server is by default enabled (via Auto DHCP).
In case you use your AST710 in Bridging mode and your ISP
requires you to enable DHCP in your PC(s), you must disable the
DHCP server inside the AST710 to avoid conflicts between two
DHCP servers being active at the same time.
Setting the DHCP modes of your AST710 is described in section
13.4.

13.2.2 PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying
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 AST710 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 AST710's DHCP server.
See section 13.4, for more information.
A second set of (Public) IP addresses having endĆtoĆend 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.
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
PPPoAĆtoĆPPTP Relaying, most dialĆin applications allow a static IP
address to be supplied.

13.2.3 Routed Packet Services
Local IP addresses must be configured prior to use IP routing.
As the AST710 has a preconfigured Net10" address
(10.0.0.138), you can configure IP addresses like 10.0.0.1,
10.0.0.2, ... in your PCs, or use the AST710 DHCP server.
In case another IP address is required, you can set AST710's IP
address via the AST710 pages.
See sections 13.3 and 18.1 for more information.
The PC IP address can be configured statically (no DHCP), or
dynamically (AST710 as DHCP server).
In addition, configure the AST710's IP address as default gateway
in your PCs.
At the DSL side of the AST710 IP router, PPP automatically
negotiates an IP address with its remote PPP peer.
You can configure the PPP local IP address of the AST710. In
special circumstances, you can configure a remote IP address for
the PPP connection.
See subsection 10.4.4 for more information.
As it name implies Classical IP & IP Routing relies on basic IP
Addressing and routing for its packet forwarding.
I.e. both local as remote users on either side of the DSL
connection experience the LIS environment as if they are sharing
one single network.
The configuration and use of all IP specific issues for a Classical IP
environment is profoundly described in chapter 11.

13.3.1 AST710 IP Address Types
IP addresses can be assigned to the AST710 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 'PingĆofĆLife
" IP addresses assigned via the 'Routing' page.
" IP addresses assigned to the AST710 via DHCP
" IP addresses configured and/or negotiated by connections.
As the AST710 IP layer supports logical multiĆhoming (one
interface supporting multiple IP addresses), both statically and
dynamically configured IP address(es) can be active at the same
time.
On the AST710 'Routing' page the 'IP address' table summarizes
all IP addresses configured on any of the AST710 interfaces.

13.4 Speed Touch 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 AST710.
Medium
sized
Server For small home LANs it might be worthwhile to
configure all of your LAN devices as DHCP clients,
and the AST710 as the DHCP server.
In this configuration each time a computer starts, it will
obtain its IP configuration from the AST710.
Advanced Client For advanced networks, the role of DHCP server might
be performed by an IP node other than the AST710
on the local LAN.
Typically such functions are attributed to home
gateways: computers having better networking
capabilities than the other PC(s) on the home LAN.
All local PCs remain configured as DHCP clients,
including the AST710.
Both the AST710 DHCP server and DHCP client are enabled by
default: A utoDHCP.

At boot time the AST710 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 AST710
becomes a DHCP server.

Automatic IP

13 Networking - IP
155 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
OSs supporting 'Automatic IP Addressing', might initially not
establish IP connectivity with the AST710. This is because the IP
address they assimilated is not within the AST710 'Auto DHCP'
server range.
To prevent this problem, please power on your LAN devices
after the AST710 has come online.
Indeed, when the AST710 is in 'Auto DHCP', it will first operate as
a DHCP client. After the client timeout exceeded, it switches to
DHCP server mode, but this might be to late as some clients will
already selected an automatic IP address.
Dynamic IP addressing is a feature allowing DHCP clients to
assign themselves an IP address.
This happens when there is no DHCP server on the network, or
when the server is temporarily down. After automatic assignment,
the DHCP client will issue DHCP requests at regular instances.
If the DHCP server is back online, the client will now lease an IP
address from the server, after discarding its temporary automatic
IP address.

13.5.1 The AST710 IP Router
Because the AST710 can act as an IP router, it has the ability to
access hosts in other networks than its own. This can be achieved
by adding specific routes to its IP routing table.
This subsection provides some general information on the
AST710 IP router functionality.
IP routing:
" Is a standard and a wellĆknown principle, mainly due to the
widespread Internet use
" Has broad application support, as it is implemented in most,
if not all Operating Systems (Windows, Unix, Linux, Mac OS,
...).
The routes in an ordinary routing table or Forwarding Information
Base (FIB) include, among others, destination IP addresses, subnet
masks and gateways.
When an IP packet arrives at the router, the router examines
the destination IP address. The router looks up the most specific
match in the routing table for that destination address. Finding the
most specific match equals finding the longest subnet mask for
that IP address.
For example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is more specific
than 255.255.0.0 because the network part in the first case is
longer (and thus more specific) than the network part in the
second case.
Once the most specific match is found, the router forwards the IP
packet to the gateway associated with that match.

The following table is an example of an IP routing table:

30.0.0.2 255.255.255.255 30.0.0.10
10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.138
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 20.0.0.10
Depending on the configuration made, the AST710 may use an
extended routing table.
In addition to the data contained in an ordinary routing table, it
contains information about the source IP address and the source
subnet mask.
The lookup principle may also be extended: not only the
combination of destination IP address and subnet mask is looked
up, but also the combination of source IP address and subnet
mask.
The extended IP routing table gives extra functionality to the
AST710 and is explained in subsection 13.5.2.
The following table is an example of the AST710 extended IP
routing table:
Dest. IP

A more up to date representation of masks does not refer to a
subnet mask, but to a prefix length.
The prefix number equals the number of ones in the subnet mask.
For example, the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 could also be
written as the prefix /24.
For example:
" IP address 10.0.0.138
" netmask 255.255.255.0
With the prefix notation this will be written as :
" prefix IP address 10.0.0.138/24
In the AST710 routing table the prefix notation will be used.

Routing to ATM/DSL connections actually means:
" Routing between the local LAN and Classical Logical IP
subnets and vice/versa
" Routing between the local LAN and PPP connections and
vice/versa.
Basically the IP router only cares about IP addresses, i.e. the
'Destination IP address' of any packet received on any of its
interfaces (PPP, CIP or Ethernet) is looked up in the IP routing table.
The lookup process will determine the best route that may lead to
the final destination of the packet. As a consequence it will
forward the packet to the interface that may reach this destination.
When the AST710 is powered on, routes are automatically
configured in the routing table for the following possible IP
address entries in the 'IP address' table:
" As soon as the Ethernet interface is up and running, routes
are added for each of the Ethernet interface IP addresses.
" Routes are added for the IP address negotiated between the
remote peer and an AST710 PPP & IP Routing entry
(configured for AlwaysĆOn).
" If a CIP member is created and explicitly configured with an IP
address, routes are added for this IP address.

14 Networking - DNS
IP addresses are fundamental to the operation of the Internet.
They not only uniquely identify Internet nodes but also allow IP
routers to forward packets to their destinations.
IP addresses, being 32Ćbit 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 AST710's DNS abilities.

14.1 Speed Touch DNS Resolving
The AST710 features a DNS server for the locally attached PCs,
and as DNS relay for nonĆlocal DNS hostnames.
The same mechanism for resolving computer names to IP
addresses when browsing the Internet, applies to your local
network.
Instead of using the IP addresses for a local IP node e.g.
10.0.0.138 for the AST710, you can give your nodes names and
let a local DNS server, e.g. the AST710 itself, do the resolving.
In the following example, a LAN is built around the AST710.
In this scenario, it is assumed that the AST710 acts as DHCP
server, and as DNS server for the local network.
During startĆup, a first PC launches a DHCP request on the LAN.
One of the fields in the DHCP request contains the computer
name e.g. YourPC.
The AST710 reacts by intercepting this request and returns
a DHCP reply containing:
" The IP address for his computer, e.g. 10.0.0.1
" The local domain name, e.g. lan (default)
" The IP address of the local DNS server, e.g. 10.0.0.138 being
the AST710 (default).
A second PC, named MyPC, is powered on and is configured via
a DHCP reply as below:
" The IP address for his computer, e.g. 10.0.0.2
" The local domain name, i.e. lan
" The IP address of the local DNS server, i.e. 10.0.0.138.
In the example scenario, it is now possible to ping both PCs,
MyPC and YourPC, by referring to their computer names instead of
their IP addresses.

171 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
The mechanism as follows:
Phase Description
1 Apply a ping YourPC on MyPC.
2 Via this command, MyPC launches a DNS request, basically
asking:
What is the IP address of YourPC.lan ?
3 As the AST710 is the DNS server, it will respond with
the appropriate IP address, being 10.0.0.1.
4 The ping utility in MyPC will now submit the ping to
10.0.0.1 which may eventually reply.
The AST710 resolves names within the local domain, i.e. lan
(default AST710 setting) as described above.
However, all other domain names, e.g. alcatel.com, cannot be
resolved by the AST710, and are forwarded over the appropriate
link on the DSL line.

17 Maintenance - Speed Touch Password
Your AST710 is a highly advanced product, operating according
the many configurations set via the AST710 Web interface or via
the CLI.
In this way AST710 operation is vulnerable to misconfiguration by
other users.
Therefore, the AST710 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 AST710 as
your name, birth date or phone number.
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 AST710 settings.
Therefore, write your system password down and keep it on a
save place.
Otherwise, a SwitchĆtoĆDefaults must be performed restoring all
original settings of the AST710.

18 Maintenance - Speed Touch ToĆDefaults
Non accessibility to your AST710 may occur if wrongly
configured, simply by forgetting its IP address or forgetting the
system password.
Due to the flexible nature of the AST710 you may end up in a
situation where restoring all of the original defaults is the only
solution.
The AST710 has tools to cope with these situations.
Telephone Service during Reset Procedures
Some of the reset procedures, i.e. a PingĆofĆLife, a
PingĆtoĆDefaults, and a SwitchĆtoĆDefaults, implies that the
AST710 performs a reboot, or power cycle. Hence, your VoDSL
telephone service could be down during the period of reset.

3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
18.1 PingĆofĆLife
The AST710 offers a unique method to supply an IP address to
the AST710's Ethernet port.
This method, the PingĆofĆLife, allows to provide the AST710 with
an IP address without affecting other configurational settings.
The principle is fairly simple: a special ping packet will deliver an
IP address to your AST710.
Generally the procedure is as follows:
Step Action
1 PreĆconfigure the intended IP address and a special MAC group
address in the ARP cache of one of your PCs.
2 Power cycle the AST710, and allow the POST to end (this
takes about 30 seconds).
3 Ping this same IP address within 60 seconds after the AST710
ended its POST.
If everything goes well, the AST710 has assimilated this IP
address.
4 Save the new IP setting via the AST710 pages.
Most TCP/IP packages support the
ARP
and
PING
command. The
PingĆofĆLife can be executed from any PC on your local network.
IP Addresses and Subnet Masks
Make sure that the intended AST710 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.
CAUTION
The PingĆofĆLife
procedure
18 Maintenance - Speed Touch ToĆDefaults
199 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the AST710.
2. Open a commandĆline (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 <AST710 IP address> 01–90–D0–80–01–01
<AST710 IP address> is a placeholder for the IP address
to be assigned to the AST710. 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 <AST710 IP address>
7. Turn on the AST710.
8. After the AST710 finished its POST, it will configure the IP
address <AST710 IP address> you are pinging.
9. You must
clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing
the following command:
arp –d <AST710 IP address>
10. Verify connectivity by pinging the AST710 a second time:
ping <AST710 IP address>
The AST710 should reply.
11. Browse to the AST710 pages and click
to make the
new IP address permanent.

18.2 Speed Touch Reset
To restore AST710's original settings, three methods are
provided:
" Two local software methods:
D BrowseĆtoĆDefaults
Which sets all parameters to original defaults, but keeps
the system password and IP address.
D PingĆtoĆDefaults
Which sets all parameters to original defaults, including
the system password and IP address.
" One hardware method: SwitchĆtoĆDefaults.
Restoring Original Settings
Be careful when using the BrowseĆtoĆDefaults, PingĆtoĆDefaults,
or the SwitchĆtoĆDefaults procedures as these destroy changes you
previously made to the AST710 internal settings, including VoDSL
settings.

18.2.2 PingĆtoĆDefaults
A second software method to reset all settings to the original
defaults is the PingĆtoĆDefaults.
The technique is identical to that used for the PingĆofĆLife, except
that another MAC address is used, i.e. 01–90–D0–80–01–FF.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the AST710.
2. Open a commandĆline (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:
ping –t <any IP address>
6. Turn on the AST710.
7. After the AST710 finished its POST, it will perform a reset to
default settings.
8. You must
clear the entry in the ARP cache by issuing
the following command:
arp –d <any IP address>
9. If needed, reconfigure the AST710 IP address, e.g. via a
PingĆofĆLife.
The used <any IP address> to perform a PingĆtoĆDefaults is not
assimilated by your AST710. The AST710 will restart with the
original defaults, including the default IP address 10.0.0.38.

18.2.3 SwitchĆtoĆDefaults
At the back of the AST710 there is a set of DIP switches labeled
"Config".
Via these switches a hardware reset of the AST710, the
SwitchĆtoĆDefaults, is possible.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure your AST710 is turned on.
2. Put DIP switch number 4 in the UP position:
Config Console
You will notice that the PWR/Alarm LED flashes amber.
3. Power cycle the AST710 and wait to allow the POST to end.
The AST710 will come online with manufacturing defaults.
4. Reset the DIP switch in its original position. If not, the
'PWR/Alarm' LED will flash amber as a warning.
5. After a reset to original defaults a reconfiguration of
AST710's IP address might be necessary. This because the
reset to defaults also resets your AST710's IP address to its
default value 10.0.0.138.
DIP Switch Position
Leaving the DIP switch in the UP position, will cause unintended
reset to manufacturing defaults !

The AST710 comes with integrated local configuration
capabilities.
Two methods exist:
" Configuration via a Web Browser
" Configuration through a Command Line Interface (CLI).
The local configuration via the AST710 web interface, is based on
the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server/Web browser
concept.
It allows configuration of your AST710 via a Web browser
through HyperText Markup Language (HTML) pages from any
local PC attached to the Ethernet interfaces.

19.1 Web Interface Preconditions
When your PC is connected to a Proxy server for accessing the
Internet, you must change your Web browser preferences, because
the AST710 is a local device and its IP address cannot be resolved
by the Proxy server.
Therefore, prior to access the AST710 pages make sure that
either:
" Your Web browser is not using a Proxy server
" The AST710 IP address is not submitted to the Proxy server.
The procedures described are methods for:
" Netscape Navigator, version 2.0 or above
" Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 2.2 or above.

20 Maintenance - Speed Touch CLI
For advanced configurations with full control over all the AST710
functions the AST710 exhibits a character based interface, i.e. the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
As the CLI has far more configurational possibilities than the
regular AST710 pages it is intended for experienced users only.
The CLI is accessible via:
" A Telnet session via Ethernet IP connectivity
" The serial 'Console' port.

You can use native access via the serial port or via a basic Telnet
session.
This allows configuration via a character based CLI. As a
consequence the use of a web browser or even any graphical or
operational environment is avoided.

20.1.1 CLI through a Telnet Session
Via a PC or terminal connected to the Ethernet interface of the
AST710 you can execute CLI commands.
However, you must gain access to the AST710 first by opening a
TCP/IP Telnet session.
" Telnet Features
" Telnet Requirements
" Using a Telnet Session to your AST710.
Telnet is:
" A fairly general, biĆdirectional, eightĆbit byteĆoriented
communication facility
" A standard method of interfacing terminal devices to each
other.
Prior to using Telnet, you need:
" A connected, and configured AST710 with known IP address,
or DNS hostname
" If applicable, the system password for accessing the AST710
" A PC or terminal connected to the LAN
Note: LAN is referred to as a network containing at least one PC or
terminal, and your AST710.
" A TCP/IP suite installed on this PC or terminal
" A Telnet session application installed on this PC or terminal.
Using a Telnet session
to your AST710
20 Maintenance - Speed Touch CLI
216 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
After opening a Telnet session, e.g. via the command
telnet 10.0.0.138
you reach the CLI prompt, preceded by the opening CLI banner
and optionally after supplying the system password:
telnet 10.0.0.138

The CLI via serial access:
" Provides CLI command connectivity to the AST710, without
the need of a TCP/IP configuration
" Allows remote AST710 configuration via an intermediate
POTS modem or ISDN modem/router.
For serial access, you need:
" A serial cable.
" An ASCII terminal (VT100) or a PC with ASCII terminal
emulation, for local configuration
or
" A POTS or ISDN modem/router for remote configuration
Setup the serial interface of your ASCII terminal, or PC for:
" 9600 BAUD
" 8 databits
" no parity, 1 stopbit.
As soon the connection is made, your terminal is ready for the
CLI.
Just press 'Enter' to pop up the CLI command prompt : =>

20.1.3 CLI Command Basics
Although it is not the aim of this subsection to give a complete
overview of all possible configurational AST710 items, this
subsection describes some of the generalities of the native CLI
environment.
Once you accessed your AST710 you will get the CLI prompt: =>.
From this point you can start entering your commands.
The CLI access is structured in what is called levels".
The => prompt indicates that you are in the root" level of the
CLI.
Typing help at the root prompt shows you the available
command groups:
=>help
Following command groups are available :
voice config system software ip
phonebook nat cip ppp pptp
bridge td dns dhcp
=>
Entering the name of a command group, accesses you to this
specific level.
For example, entering =>config followed by pressing 'Enter',
brings you to the config" level.
This is indicated by its own prompt: [config]=>
Command group help
Command help
Command execution
CLI Reference Guide
20 Maintenance - Speed Touch CLI
219 / 254
3EC 17605 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 02
Typing help at the command group level prompt shows you the
available commands.
For example , entering help at the config" level generates the
following output:
[config]=>help
Following command groups are available :
save : Saves complete configuration.
erase : Removes all saved data.
load : Loads saved or factory default configuration.
flush : Flushes complete configuration.
reset : Flush & restore factory default configuration.
[config]=>
Typing help followed by a command generates shows you a
description of the command, and a parameter syntax, if
applicable:
For example , entering help reset in the config" level
generates the following output:
[config]=>help reset
[keep_ip = <{no|yes}>]
Reset IP settings or not. Resetting IP can break
current telnet/http session !
[config]=>
Typing the command executes the command. In most cases you
must also provide related parameters.
The consequences of a command execution have immediate
effect. However, only after executing the save command, the new
settings are stored in persistent memory.
