Host System Requirements ♦ Ethernet 10BaseT or 10/100BaseTX NIC ♦ OS which supports the TCP/IP protocol suite ♦ Web browser installed For local networking ♦ 10BaseT or 10/100BaseTX hub or switch or broadband router with a 10BaseT or 10/100BaseTX port Cables Make sure the following cables are included with your product: ♦...
Step 2: Plug in the Ethernet cable If you are connecting to a networking device, connect a straight-through Ethernet cable to the SMC70032AE “LAN” Ethernet port. If connecting directly to your PC, the cable must be a crossover Ethernet cable. Step 3: Connect the console link If an initial setup other than the default configuration is required, you will need to use the serial cable to connect the PC’s RS-232C port (a DB9 Male port usually...
CHAPTER 3 Configuration through the Graphical User Web Interface Accessing the Web Interface (For protocol setup and monitoring) As soon you inserted a provided CD into CD-ROM, Windows will prompt you as following. Click <WebConsole Installation> to start installation. Follow the prompts through the installation process, which will add the SMC70032AE icon to your desktop.
Showing the ADSL line status of the modem When using the Web console, you can check the link status by selecting STATUS/Physical at the status menu. In the Physical Status screen, Selected Operation Mode shows the current mode set by your provider’s DSLAM. The Physical Link Rate and Error Count of the modem are also displayed.
System Information Using the Web Console, you can check system information such as the version of firmware and hardware (MAC) address of the modem by selecting the ”System info” option under the “STATUS” menu option.
CHAPTER 4 Configuring ADSL Protocols using the Web Interface Changing the ADSL Mode When using the Web console, you can change the ADSL mode by clicking the “ADSL Mode” link under the “CONFIG” options menu and selecting the specific ADSL mode. On the ADSL mode screen, the “Modem State”...
Configuring the ADSL Transport Protocols RFC1483 Bridged Mode To set the SMC70032AE to RFC1483 bridge mode, your ISP must provide you with values for both the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and the VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier). By default these are set to 0 (VPI) and 35 (VCI). The value of the VPI setting ranges from 0 to 4095, and the value of the VCI setting ranges from 1 to 65535.
RFC1483 Routed Mode To separate your network from the service provider’s network when your service is delivered using RFC1483 (Bridged IP) you will need to create a private network for your home or business by configuring the SMC70032AE in RFC1483 Routed mode.
PPPoA Routed Mode (RFC2364) If your service provider uses PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM) for its transport protocol, you will need to set up the SMC70032AE in PPPoA mode as well to communicate with your provider’s network. The “PPPoA Routed” option under “CONFIG”...

authentication method of CHAP for the ADSL port with a User ID of Hinet10 and a four-character password. The VPI for this network has been set to 0 and the VCI has been set to 35. The LLC header mode has been turned off.
PPPoA Bridged Mode (RFC2364) If your service provider is using PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM) as a transport protocol but you do not want the modem to act as a router with a separate network address for computers on the internal network, select the “PPPoA Bridged”...
PPPoE Routed Mode (RFC2516) PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) requires a client software program to be installed on your PC and can therefore limit the number of PCs connected to the Internet. To avoid the necessity of installing a PPPoE client on your computer and to allow more PCs to connect at once, the SMC70032AE has a PPPoE client program installed.
Page 26
The screenshot below is an example of the SMC70032AE being set up in “PPPoE Routed” mode using the DHCP server function for the internal network and an authentication method of CHAP for the ADSL port with a User ID of Hinet10 and a four-character password.
IPoA Routed (RFC1577) If your service provider uses IPoA (Internet Protocol over ATM), you will need to select the “IpoA Routed” under the “CONFIG” menu option. The SMC70032AE will automatically be set up as a DHCP server for your internal network once you have entered the LAN port information and enabled NAT.
DHCP Server The SMC70032AE can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. When using the DHCP server function on the SMC70032AE, all PCs on the internal network can be set to obtain their address automatically and the modem will pass all the necessary IP information to the PC(s) .

has been set to start at 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.15. The default lease time has been set to 3600 seconds and the maximum lease time to 86400 seconds. The service provider’s DNS for this example is 210.94.0.7 and since the modem was already configured in either “PPPoA Routed”...
PPTP Tunneling PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) allows a PPP connection to be tunneled through an IP network. To use “PPTP Tunneling” mode under the “CONFIG” menu, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) adapter should be installed on the PC connected to the modem that will be using the VPN connection prior to configuring the SMC70032AE modem.

field contains the IP address of the VPN server you are connecting to. In this example the User name is SMC70032AE with a four-character password and a VPN server address of 192.168.1.254. Click on “Connect” and your VPN connection will be established. Chapter 5: Configuring the SMC70032AE through the Command Line Interface Starting the Terminal Emulation Session...
Connect directly through the serial port Required port settings You will see several lines of output on the screen of the terminal when you turn on the SMC70032AE's power. This is the normal console output during startup. This screen will be used for terminal access to enter commands once the router has completed its startup procedures.
Port 2: 'bun/port=atm/rfc1483=true/mode=llcbridged/vpi=0/vci=35' The example above is the default shipping configuration. It shows that the Ethernet port (Port 1) has been enabled and that the ADSL line (Port 2) is using ATM to communicate with the CO (Central Office). The mode is set to rfc1483 bridged with an encapsulation method of LLC and a VPI setting of 0 and VCI setting of 35.
Configuring Protocols through the CLI RFC1483 Bridged Mode The default shipped configuration of the SMC700032AE is: ♦ RFC1483 Bridged Mode ♦ VPI setting of 0 ♦ VCI setting of 35 ♦ LLC as the encapsulation method To change the default settings or to change the mode to RFC1483 if the SMC70032AE modem has been set to a different mode, follow the steps below: 1.
SMC70032AE> restart 2. At the Terminal screen set the SMC70032AE to bridged mode with the following command “bridge device add edd”. This will add an Ethernet Port on the bridge. 3. To communicate on the ADSL line you will need to enter the command “bridge device add bun/port=atm/rfc1483=true/mode= llcbridged/vpi=x/vci=y".
