1.2.3 Access via FTP
To access the
SpeedTouch™ via the
File Transfer Protocol
(FTP)
File system
To open an FTP session
You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), in order to:
Restore or back up configuration files, templates or language packs.
Upgrade your configuration.
The SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on non-volatile memory and contains the
SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.
Proceed as follows:
1
Open a Command Prompt window.
In Microsoft Windows XP for instance:
1
On the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2
Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
2
At the prompt, type ftp followed by the IP address of your SpeedTouch™
(192.168.1.254 by default).
3
Enter your SpeedTouch™ security user name and password.
The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.
The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system.
File system structure
The structure of the file system is very simple: it consists of a single root directory
called root and a subdirectory called dl (download).
The root directory contains:
all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to start correctly
the dl directory
The dl directory contains the software image.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl
subdirectory.

2 Local Network Setup
Ethernet network
The Ethernet ports on the back panel of your SpeedTouch™ allows you to connect
the SpeedTouch™ to an existing 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet network or to a
computer with installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of
up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/
RJ-45 Ethernet cable is included.
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer’s Ethernet port to the
one of the SpeedTouch™’s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your
SpeedTouch™ to an external hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.

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

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

Control” on page 81).
UPnP™ is enabled on your SpeedTouch™. To enable UPnP, see “4.5.2 Game &
Application Sharing” on page 44.
Proceed as follows to start an Internet session:
1
In the Windows taskbar, click Start.
2
Select (Settings >) Control Panel.

The Overview page summarizes the applications or games installed on a particular

initiated connections coming from the Internet.
On the Configure page, you can:
Select Use UPnP to enable UPnP on the SpeedTouch™.
UPnP provides NAT-Traversal: UPnP aware applications on a PC will
automatically create Hyper-NAT entries on the SpeedTouch™ for incoming
traffic on the protocol ports this type of traffic needs. As a consequence these
applications are able to traverse the SpeedTouch™ without the need for extra
and manual configuration.
UPnP is an architecture for transparent peer-to-peer connectivity of
computers, intelligent appliances, and (wireless) devices. It enables
seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging
applications.
For security reasons you are able to configure the UPnP policy towards
Windows XP and UPnP aware applications and Operating Systems.
In case you select the Use Extended Security check box, only limited UPnP
operation between a host running MS Windows XP and the SpeedTouch™ is
allowed: A local host is:
NOT allowed to connect/disconnect the SpeedTouch™ Internet Gateway
Device (IGD) connection.
Allowed to add/delete Hyper-NAT entries only for its own IP address, not
for other local hosts.
If you clear the Use Extended Security check box, all UPnP- and IGD-based
communication between any local host and the SpeedTouch™ is allowed.

4.5.10 Firewall
About the firewall
The firewall allows you to secure traffic from and to the SpeedTouch™. There are
different security levels, depending on the degree of security you need.
Overview
The Overview page summarizes the overall security policy configured on your
SpeedTouch™.
Configure
On the Configure page you can select the security level of the SpeedTouch™.
Security Levels
Select one of following security levels:
BlockAll:
All traffic from and to the Internet is blocked. Game and Application Sharing is
not allowed by the firewall.
Although BlockAll should block all connections, some mandatory types
of traffic such as DNS will still be relayed between LAN and WAN via
the SpeedTouch™.
Standard:
All outgoing connections are allowed. All incoming connections are blocked,
except for inbound connections assigned to a local host via Game and
Application Sharing.
Disabled:
All in- and outgoing traffic is allowed to pass through your SpeedTouch™,
including Game and Application Sharing.
This is the default firewall level.
The firewall levels only have impact on the forward hook. This means that
the handling of traffic from and to the Web pages of the SpeedTouch™ is
independent of the selected firewall level.

5.3 Reset to Factory Defaults
Resetting your
SpeedTouch™
You might consider a reset to factory defaults as described below.
!
Be aware that a reset to factory defaults will revoke all configurational
changes you made to the SpeedTouch™.
You can choose between:
Software reset
Hardware reset
A reset to factory default settings deletes the configuration profile settings.
Therefore, after the reset, a reconfiguration of your SpeedTouch™ will be needed.
Software reset
Proceed as follows:
1
Go to the SpeedTouch™ Web pages.
2
In the menu, select SpeedTouch > Configuration.
3
In the Pick a task list, click Reset my SpeedTouch to default settings.
The SpeedTouch™ restarts.

of the SpeedTouch™, being 192.168.1.254).
Proceed as follows:
1
Make sure the SpeedTouch™ is turned on.
