For readability, PC will refer to all involved computer devices
which are able to interact with the AST570, i.e. Personal
Computer (PC), Portable PC (PPC), Macintosh computer,
workstation, (remote) terminal, etc.
For the AST570 there is no difference between Wired LAN
connectivity and Wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity. Therefore,
both will be referred to as (W)LAN.
All examples throughout this User's Guide refer to :
Net 10" IP addresses for local network configurations
VPI 0 or VPI 8 to identify the Virtual Path (VP) on the DSL line.
However, your SP might prefer other values.
Due to the continuous evolution of the Alcatel DSL technology,
existing products are regularly upgraded. Alcatel documentation
changes accordingly.

2m DSL cable (RJ11/RJ11, RJ14/RJ14)
1 Wall mounting assembly with Velcro sticker
2 Screws and 2 wall plugs for the wall mounting assembly
This User's Guide, in hard copy format.
In the event of damaged or missing items, contact your local
product dealer for further instructions.
Your AST570 shipping carton may also include release notes,
safety and conformity declarations and other materials.
Part of the packaging is a wall mounting assembly with
accompanying screws and wall plugs.
For instructions to prepare the AST570 and wall mounting
assembly for use, refer to appendix B.
The AST570 is presented in a slim line box:
For detailed information, refer to appendix D.

Identify your AST570

You can identify your AST570 via the marking label on the
bottom:
The marking label for the NorthAmerican market is similar to the
example below:
Marking Label Information
Do not remove the marking label from the bottom, nor cover it
with another label.
Next to other important information, it contains the default SSID
for your AST570 WLAN configuration, needed for initial Wireless
connectivity.

3EC 17766 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
1.2.1 What you Need
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service must be enabled
on your telephone line.
As both Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) 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.
For WLAN connectivity:
The (portable) PCs, intended to be connected via the AST570
need a WLAN networking adapter (WLANNIC).
Each WLAN adapter must be:
Compliant to 802.11b Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS)
WECA WiFi certified to ensure smooth interoperability.
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.
For local configuration via HTTP/HTML, you need:
A TCP/IP protocol suite
A Web browser.

You must wire
Ethernet port
(10BaseT), if needed
DSL port (Line)
Power port (DC)
1 Speed Touch Quick Guide
16 / 300 3EC 17766 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
1.2.2 AST570 Connections
The Ethernet Port (10BaseT), if needed
The DSL Port (Line)
The Power Port (DC).
After performing these steps you can turn on your AST570.
Proceed then with connecting:
Your WLAN clients.
Use the included LAN cable to wire your PC's Ethernet port to
AST570' Ethernet interface.
Note: In case no wired Ethernet connections have to be made, you can omit
this step and continue with wiring the DSL port.
Refer to section 2.2 for more information.
Use the included DSL cable to wire the AST570' Line port to your
DSL wall outlet.
Refer to section 3.2 for more information.
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 D.5 and
contact your local power company.
Plug the adapter's coaxial jack into the AST570' receptacle
marked 'DC'.
Refer to section 3.3 for more information.

Check your wiring
Turn on your AST570

3EC 17766 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
Once all connections are made the result should look similar as
below:
The grey shaded wired Ethernet connection only implies in case
the Ethernet port is used for connecting a PC.
Once all previous steps are completed, turn on your AST570.
The AST570 is ready for service as soon as the startup
procedures are completed, the Power On Self Test (POST) is
passed and both Power/Alarm and Line Sync LEDs on the front
panel are constantly lit green.
Refer to section D.2 for more information.

Note

18 / 300 3EC 17766 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
Preconditions:
Make sure your AST570 is turned on and finished its Power
On Self Test (POST).
The (portable) PCs, intended to be connected to the AST570,
must have a WLAN adapter readily installed and should be
configured as DHCP client or configured with a fixed Net10"
IP address.
Joining the AST570 WLAN network
Some WLAN adapters are able to detect the presence of the
AST570 Wireless network. For others you have to preset the
SSID.
When first using the AST570:
1. On the WLAN adapter configure the Service Set
ID (SSID) with the AST570 default SSID printed on the
marking label, found on the bottom of the AST570.
This default SSID exists of the word Alcatel" followed by
(directly concatenated) the 6 last characters of the
AST570 WLAN access point MAC address.
2. To register the WLAN client, push the 'Association' button
on the AST570' back panel while the WLAN adapter tries
to join the AST570 WLAN network.
3. Repeat this procedure for each (portable) PC you want to
associate the AST570 WLAN network.
See chapter 4 for more information.
There is no difference between wired and wireless LAN
connections for the AST570, i.e. all network configurations are
equally valid for both.
Therefore, both are referred to as (W)LAN.

VPI/VCI settings
1 Speed Touch Quick Guide

3EC 17766 AAAA TCZZA Ed. 04
1.2.3 Check your Service Provider's Offering
The SP provides at least the following information:
The VPI/VCI of the Virtual Channel (VC) to use on the DSL
line
The Connection Service supported on this VC
The Encapsulation Method (if different from the Connection
Service's default encapsulation).
Example:
VPI/VCI = 0/35
Connection Service = ETHoA (RFC1483/Br)
Encapsulation Method : ETHoA default, i.e. LLC/SNAP.
Your AST570 supports multiple simultaneous VCs on the DSL line.
If your SP exploits this capability, he will provide this information
per VC.
The VPI/VCI value of the default configured VCs are listed in
Appendix E.
In the event that the provided VPI/VCI differ with the AST570
defaults, you can change VC settings via the AST570 pages.
See section 13.2 for more information.
