AlcPM requires, at the very least:
If you wish to modify the source and recompile AlcPM, you will also need Lava, a class library for Java (available from http://sharkysoft.com/software/java/lava/).
AlcPM has very simple command line syntax. To start AlcPM, simply issue the following command:
java -jar alcpm.jar test_address modem_address
Or, if you have included alcpm.jar in your CLASSPATH, you can run AlcPM by directly invoking its main class.
java sharky.app.alcpm.Main test_address modem_address
You must have Java 1.2 (JRE or JDK) installed to run this program. (See the download page for more information.)
Regardless of how you launch AlcPM, it requires exactly two arguments: the address through which connectivity will be tested, and the address of the modem.
The best address to use for connectivity testing is the address of your gateway. Your ISP should have provided you with this address. The gateway works well because it is the machine on the "other side" of your modem.
The modem address is the address you have configured for your ADSL modem. See section 13.5 ("Static IP Configuration") of your Alcatel Speed Touch manual for information on how to configure this address. Note also that the machine running AlcPM must also be able to communicate with your modem on the address you configured, and this may require you to add an IP interface to your machine's configuration.
