Introduction Next to the DSL, Ethernet and Wireless interface, the SpeedTouch™ features an
ISDN modem, to allow the end user Internet connectivity.
Scenarios The ISDN modem can be used as:
 A stand alone WAN interface to connect to the Internet or corporate network
 A fall back interface for the DSL interface.
 Dial-in WAN interface for remote access or dial-in networking.
ISDN software key It is necessary to enable the ISDN module for full deployment.
The ISDN modem as
initiator or responder
The ISDN modem can be configured as follows:
 As Initiator (Dial out):
The SpeedTouch™ starts the connection.
 As Responder (Dial in):
Configure the SpeedTouch™ as a responder if you want to set up a connection
from another device towards the SpeedTouch™.
Security There are 3 ways of securing the ISDN modem of the SpeedTouch™.
 Reduce the amount of people that can dial in to the SpeedTouch™ by
configuring a group of allowed dial-in numbers.
 On a higher layer level, it is possible to configure the Stateful inspection
firewall to allow a range or one single IP address to dial in to SpeedTouch™.
 Maintain a smart user policy by configuring users, using the multi-level
SpeedTouch™ access policy.
PPP on top of the ISDN
Modem
The SpeedTouch™ supports PPP over ISDN (PPPoI), which implies that all the
features of a PPP connection are applicable on the SpeedTouch™ ISDN modem
such as dial-on-demand (dod) connections which are mostly used for ISDN
connections.

If both an ADSL and ISDN interface are configured, make sure to give a
proper value to the dod delay of the ISDN modem.
