Configuring the ATM VCC
As your LAN computers access the Internet via the ATU-R130, data is exchanged with your ISP
through a complex network of telephone switches, Internet routers, servers, and other specialized
hardware. These various devices communicate using a common language, or protocol, called
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
{
XE "Asynchronous Transfer Mode" \t "
See
ATM"
}
(ATM). On the
Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects you to your ISP, the ATM protocol performs functions
like those that the Ethernet protocol performs on your LAN.
{
XE "ATM:defined"
}
This chapter describes how to configure the ATM
virtual channel connection
(VCC). The VCC
properties define the path the ATU-R130 uses to communicate with your ISP over the ATM
network.
Viewing{ XE "ATM:viewing configuration" } Your ATM VC Setup
To view your current configuration, log into Configuration Manager, click the WAN tab, and then
click
ATM VCC
in the task bar. The ATM VCC Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 34.
Figure 33. ATM VCC Configuration Page{ XE "Pages:ATM VCC Configuration" }
{ XE "ATM VCC
Configuration page" }
The ATM VCC Configuration table displays the following fields (contact your ISP to determine
these settings):
Field
Description
Interface
The name of the lower-level interface on which
this VC operates. The low-level interface names
are preconfigured in the software and identify the
type of traffic that can be supported, such as data
or voice. Internet data services typically use an
AAL5-type interface.
Vpi, Vci, and Mux
Type
These settings identify a unique ATM data path for
communication between your ADSL/Ethernet
router and your ISP.
Max Proto per
AAL5
If you are using an AAL5-type of
interface, this
setting indicates the number of higher-level
interfaces that the VC can support (the higher
level interfaces can be PPP, EoA, or IPoA
interfaces). Contact your ISP to determine which
connection protocol(s) they require.
Actions
Displays an icon (
) you can click on to delete
the associated interface.

Adding ATM VCCs
You may need to create a VCC if none has been predefined on your system or if you use multiple
services with your ISP. Each service may require its own VCC. Follow these instructions to add a
VCC:
1.
From the ATM VCC Configuration page, click
.
The ATM VCC – Add page displays, as shown in Figure 35
Figure 34. ATM
VCC
– Add Page{ XE "ATM VCC – Add page" }{ XE "Pages:ATM VCC - Add" }
2.
Select an interface name from the VCC Interface drop-down list.
3.
Enter the VPI and VCI values assigned by your ISP, and select the mux type from the
drop-down list.
4.
Click
.
5.
On the confirmation page, click
to return to the ATM VCC Configuration page.
6.
Click the Admin tab, and then click
Commit & Reboot
in the task bar.
7. Click
to save your changes to permanent memory.
The new interface should now display in the ATM VCC Configuration table.
You may need to create a new WAN interface, or modify an existing interface, so that it uses the
new VCC. See the instructions for configuring a PPP (Chapter 10), EoA (Chapter 11), or IPoA
(Chapter 12) interfaces, depending on the type you use to communicate with your ISP.
You can verify that the new settings work by attempting to access the Internet from a LAN/USB
computer. Contact your ISP for troubleshooting assistance.

Modifying ATM VCCs
Your device may already be preconfigured with the necessary ATM VCC properties, or the table
may contain placeholder values that you must change before using the device. Contact your ISP
to determine your ATM VCC values. Follow these instructions to modify a preconfigured VCC:
1.
From the ATM VCC Configuration page, click
in the Actions column for the interface
you want to modify.
The ATM VCC Interface – Modify page displays, as shown in Figure 36.
Figure 35. ATM VCC Interface
– Modify Page{ XE "ATM VCC – Add page" }{ XE "Pages:ATM VCC -
Add" }
2.
Enter the new VPI and VCI values, select the MUX type, or change the maximum number
of protocols that the VCC can carry, as directed by your ISP.
You cannot modify the interface type over which an existing VCC operates (aal5-0, for
example). If you want to change the interface type, you must delete the existing interface,
create a new one, and select the desired interface type.
3. Click
.
4.
On the confirmation page, click
to return to the ATM VCC Configuration page.
5.
Click the Admin tab, and then click
Commit & Reboot
in the task bar.
6. Click
to save your changes to permanent memory.
7.
You can verify that the new settings work by attempting to access the Internet from a
LAN/USB computer. Contact your ISP for troubleshooting assistance.

Configuring PPP Interfaces
When powered on, the ATU-R130 initiates a connection through your DSL line to your ISP.
The point-to-point (PPP) protocol is commonly used between ISPs and their customers to identify
and control various communication properties, including:
?
Identifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given customer
?
Identifying the customer to the ISP through a username and password login
?
Enabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the customer’s computers
Your ISP may or may not use the PPP protocol. Contact your ISP to determine if you will need to
change the default settings in order to connect to their server.
Viewing Your Current PPP Configuration
To view your current PPP setup, log into Configuration Manager, click the WAN tab, and then click
PPP
in the task bar.
The PPP Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 37.
Figure 36. PPP Configuration Page{ XE "PPP Configuration page" }{ XE "Pages:PPP Configuration" }
PPP is configured as a group of software settings associated with the ADSL port. Although the
device has only one physical ADSL port, the ATU-R130 can be defined with more than one group
of PPP settings. Each group of settings is called a
PPP interface
and is given a name, such as
ppp-0
,
ppp-1
, etc.
You can configure the following settings on the PPP Configuration page:
?
Inactivity TimeOut (mins)
:
The time in minutes that must elapse before a PPP
connection times-out due to inactivity.
?
Ignore WAN to LAN traffic
: When enabled, data traffic traveling in the incoming
direction—
from the WAN port to the LAN port—
will not count as activity on the WAN port;
i.e., it will not prevent the connection from being terminated if inactive for the specified
time.
