Click on the desired entry from the list.

Following the link will lead you to the corresponding

configuration page.

Figure 6.2: Quick Start - Internet Connection

This page contains the minimum information required in order to configure the WAN connection

supporting the service. Please refer to section

Connections

on page 60 for a detailed description of all

parameters.

ATM PVCs

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

is the underlying technology used for providing IP connectivity over

the ADSL broadband connection.

Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC) over the ATM network serve as

point-to-point links from the DSL access device (the OxyGEN

mini

Office) to the core network of the ISP.

WAN ADSL connections are always associated with an ATM PVC. Note that, in certain cases, multiple

WAN connections may share the same ATM PVC.

Following the

ATM PVCs

configuration option, a list of the configured PVCs is displayed.

Figure 6.3: List of ATM PVCs

You can

Edit

and

Delete

configured PVCs by clicking on the icons

and

respectively of

Action

column.

In order to add a new ATM PVC, press

Add New

. The following screen will appear:

1. The

DSL Port

drop-down list allows the selection of the DSL interface the new ATM PVC will apply

to.

2.

VPI

and

VCI

are the characteristic numbers defining the PVC. Valid VPI and VCI numbers are

between 0 and 255 and between 0 and 65535 respectively.

3.

Protocol

defines the type of connection this PVC is going to be used with.

Available options

are

RFC 1483/2684 bridged

(for PPPoE and EoA connections),

RFC 1483/2684 routed

(for IPoA

connections) and

RFC 2364

(for PPPoA connections).

4.

Encapsulation

is the type of service encapsulation used over the ATM connection.

Available

options are

LLC

(Logical Link Control) and

VCMux

(VC Multiplexing).

5.

Traffic Class

and

PCR

are the ATM QoS traffic class of the connection and the Peak Cell Rate

value respectively. Available

Traffic Class

options are

CBR

(Constant Bit Rate),

VBR-rt

(Variable

Bit Rate - real time),

VBR-nrt

(Variable Bit Rate - non real time) and

UBR

(Unspecified Bit Rate).

WARNING

Please consult your Service Provider about the values that must be used for all the

parameters listed above.

If the PVCs configured on your OxyGEN miniOffice do not

have the same type and VPI/VCI values with the ones used by your Service Provider, no

data communication will be possible.

Note

The first digit of the name of each ATM PVC refers to the DSL port ID the PVC applies to.

For example, 1-PVC_x are PVCs of DSL port 1.
