Check “Enable Automatic Time Server Maintenance” to automatically maintain the Belgacom b-
box’s system time by synchronizing with a public time server over the Internet. Then configure
two different time servers by selecting the options in the Primary Server and Secondary Server
fields.
Password Settings
Use this page to restrict access based on a password. By default, there is no password.
For security you should assign one before exposing the Belgacom b-box to the Internet.
Passwords can contain from 3 to12 alphanumeric characters and are not case sensitive.
Note:
If your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the user interface, press the reset
button (colored blue) on the rear panel (holding it down for at least five seconds) to
restore the factory defaults. (By default there is no password.)
Enter a maximum Idle Time Out (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time an inactive login
session will be maintained. If the connection is inactive for longer than the maximum idle time, it
will be logged out, and you will have to login to the web management system again. (Default: 10
minutes)
Remote Management
By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However,
you can also manage the Belgacom b-box from a remote host by entering the IP address of
a remote computer on this screen. Check the Enabled check box, and enter the IP address
of the Host Address and click “SAVE SETTINGS.”
31

Note:
If you check “Enabled” and specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage the
Belgacom b-box.
For remote management via WAN IP address you need to connect using port 8080. Simply enter
WAN IP address followed by :8080 in the address field of your web browser, for example,
212.120.68.20:8080.
DNS

Page 33 / 91
Domain Name Servers are used to map a domain name (e.g., www.somesite.com) to the
equivalent numerical IP address (e.g., 64.147.25.20). Your ISP should provide the IP address of
one or more Domain Name Servers. Enter those addresses on this page.
WAN
Specify the WAN connection parameters provided by your Internet Service Provider
(ISP).
The Belgacom b-box can be connected to your ISP in one of the following ways:

ATM PVC
The Belgacom b-box uses ATM as its WAN interface. Click on each ATM VC for WAN
configuration.
See the table below for a description of the parameters.
Parameter Description
Description Click on the VC to set the values for the connection.
VPI/VCI Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI).
Encapsulation Specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.
.
•
VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one
protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
.
•
LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control (LLC) allows multiple
protocols running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

Protocol Protocol used for the connection.
ATM Interface
Clicking on the ATM VC brings up the following screen. The Belgacom b-box uses ATM as
its WAN interface. Protocols including 1483 Routing, 1483 Bridging, MAC Encapsulated
Routing (MER), PPPoA and PPPoE with LLC-SNAP and VC-Mux encapsulations are
supported for each ATM PVC.
When you have finished entering your connection parameters, click “SAVE SETINGS.” You can
verify that you have established an ADSL connection by clicking Status at the bottom of the left-
hand menu. See “Status” on page 4-86.
See the table below for a description of the parameters.
Parameter Description
Protocol
±
Disable: Disables the connection.
±
1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2 technology. It is typically used in
corporate networks to extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and increase
the number of stations on a LAN without compromising performance. Bridged data is
encapsulated using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data transport.
±
PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method of encapsulating data for
transmission to a far point.
±
1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost connection to the Internet via a
standard Ethernet port. The router looks up the network address for each packet seen on
the LAN port. If the address is listed in the routing table as local, it is filtered. If the
address is listed under the ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found, then
it is automatically forwarded to the default router (i.e., the Belgacom b-box at the head
end).

±
PPPoE: Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a common connection method used for xDSL.
±
MAC Encapsulated Routing: If your ADSL service is a Bridged mode service and you
want to share the connection to multiple PC’s, please select MAC Encapsulated Routing.
MER is a protocol that allows you do IP routing with NAT enabled.
VPI/VCI See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI). Data flows are
broken up into fixed length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) that
identifies the path between two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that identifies the
data channel within that virtual path. Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells
between the two end points. When there is no data to transmit, empty cells are sent. When data
needs to be transmitted, it is immediately inserted into the cell flows.
Parameter Description
Encapsulation Shows the packet encapsulation type.
Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM
transport layer.
±
VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation)
allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
±
LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols
running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).
QoS Class ATM QoS classes including CBR, UBR and VBR.
PCR/SCR/MBS QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS
(Maximum Burst Size) are configurable.
IP assigned by Select Yes if the IP address was provided by your ISP. ISP
IP Address
If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time you connect, leave this field all
zeros. Otherwise, enter your ISP supplied static IP address here.
