Multiple Virtual Connections

The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations

can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC

connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private

connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate

connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles must be done through your telecommunications

services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple virtual connections require ADSL

routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact your ISP or

telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.

After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual

connections, follow the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to

you by your server provider.

Configure Multiple PVCs

Additional PVCs can be configured by first accessing the WAN configuration menu in the Home

directory.

Select new PVC to configure in the WAN menu

The PVC pull-down menu offers 8 virtual connections available for configuration. The default VC

used by the Router is labeled Pvc0. Any additional connections that are configured must have a

VPI/VCI combination that is unique to the Router. These numbers will have been already been

established by your service provider on their network.

To add a new virtual connection:

1. Select the new

PVC

to configure from the pull-down menu.

2. Enter the values for the

VPI

and

VCI

given to you by your service provider.

3. To activate the VC, select

Enabled

from the

Virtual Circuit

pull-down menu.

4.

Configure the WAN Settings and Connection Type as desired.

UPnP

UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked

devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network,

obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other

devices. DHCP and DNS service can also be used if available on the network. UPnP also allows

supported devices to leave a network automatically without adverse effects to the device or other

devices on the network.

UPnP can be supported by diverse networking media including Ethernet, Firewire, phone line and

power line networking.

Enable UPnP Menu
