4.1 Getting Started with Bridging
1. Connect your Speed Touch  Home and PC(s) as described in
Chapter 3.
2. Configure Public IP addresses on your PC(s) according to the
preferred method of your service provider: either static, or
dynamic.
3. At this point you are online and applications can be started, e.g.
a Web browser.
4.2 Bridging Configuration
Must support RFC1483 Bridged PDU Encapsulation on ATM.
Additionally it provides you with:
"
the VPI/VCI values for Bridging service.
"
In case of Internet access, your ISP may:
D Provide static IP parameters to be configured on your PC.
D Require you to use DHCP on your PC. (Dynamic IP
parameters are configured by a remote DHCP server)
Note : Connectivity to multiple remote organizations
Additional sets of these parameters need to be supplied.
CAUTION
Bridging & Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP is by default disabled for the STHome.
This to avoid conflicts with the DHCP server of your ISP.
The STHome comes with a preconfigured Bridge port Br1. As this
port is put in forwarding state, frames can be transmitted and
received without any configuration action.
If needed you can configure up to 4 additional ports via the STHome
local web pages. For more, please read Chapter 7.
4.3 Using Bridging
From this point on, using Bridging is rather straightĆforward. Start
your Web browser and you are on the Internet. However, the remote
organization might present you with a welcome screen asking for a
User Name and Password prior to granting access to secured servers
or the Internet.
