Type
is the protocol used for connecting to your broadband Service Provider.
The available
options depend on the selection of the
WAN port
parameter. Please consult your Service Provider
about the option that must be selected.
The parameters appearing on the rest of the configuration page, depend mainly on the values of
the
WAN port
and
Type
parameters.
ATM Options
These parameters appear only for ADSL connections and define the ATM PVC over which the WAN
connection will be performed. From the drop-down list you can select an existing PVC or configure a
NEW
one providing values for the
VPI
,
VCI
and
Encapsulation
parameters.
When multiple DSL ports are present
(optional feature)
, the
P
x
characters indicate which DSL port
this ATM-PVC refers to (e.g.
P1
is port 1).

802.1Q VLAN
In case of
PPPoE
or
EoA
ADSL connections and of any type of VDSL or Ethernet connection, the Ethernet
frames can optionally by tagged with a 802.1Q VLAN ID. This way, multiple connections can share the
same ATM PVC, VDSL or Ethernet WAN port, separated at the Ethernet level using normal Ethernet
VLANs.
In order to activate this functionality for the connection, select the
Enabled
checkbox and
specify the corresponding
VLAN ID
. Valid
VLAN ID
values are
1
to
4094
.
Additionally, all outgoing Ethernet frames through this connection can also be marked with a specific
802.1p Class of Service (
CoS
) value for Quality of Service on the Ethernet level. Valid
VLAN CoS
values
are between
0
and
7
.
Modem Options
This provides the parameters required in the case of broadband access through a modem connected
to the USB port of the OxyGEN
mini
Office
(optional feature)
.
1.
External modem
is the USB modem used for this connection, or
ANY MODEM
in order to use the
first modem detected. Refer to section
External Modems
on page 67 for a description of the
configurations steps required in order to define an external modem.
2.
Profile
is the set of parameters used in case of a USB 3G modem. Pre-defined sets of parameters can
be selected, whereas
CUSTOM
allows the user to manually enter the modem-related parameters.
3.
APN
is the Access Point Name used to determine how the 3G modem of the OxyGEN
mini
Office
communicates via the GSM network to the Service Provider’s network.
4.
Init string
is the modem initialization string.
5.
Dial string
is the modem dial string.
WARNING
Please refer to your GSM/3G Service Provider in order to find the correct
APN
,
Init string
and
Dial string
values, in case you do not use one of the pre-defined profiles.
IPv6 Options
In case IPv6 functionality is enabled in OxyGEN
mini
Office (please refer to section
IPv6 Addresses
), there
are the following options:
1.
Operation
may be defined between plain
IPv4
, plain
IPv6
and
Dual Stack
.

2.
IPv6 Address
may be selected between
Auto Configuration
, which allows for WAN interface to
be autoconfigured for an IPv6 prefix through the remote server and
Link Local
, where the WAN
interface obtains only a link-local IPv6 address.
Figure 6.7: IPv6 Options
PPP Options
These are the PPP authentication parameters required in the case of a
PPPoE
,
PPPoA
or
USB PPP
connection:
1.
Username
is the username used for the PPP negotiation with your Service Provider. Please consult
your Service Provider about the correct value.
2.
Password
is the password used for the PPP negotiation with your Service Provider. Please consult
your Service Provider about the correct value.
3.
MTU size
is the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size in bytes of the PPP connection interface.
4.
PPPoE passthrough
enables or disables the transparent forwarding of PPPoE sessions initiated from
a LAN host (e.g. a PC) towards the WAN in case of
RFC 1483/2684 bridged
ATM PVCs, VDSL or
Ethernet WAN
connections.
5.
Dial On Demand
enables or disables the "on-demand" functionality of the PPP session, to be
automatically activated when there is need for data traffic and deactivated when the connection
is idle.
WARNING
Do not modify the default MTU value, unless instructed so by your Service Provider. Invalid
MTU values can lead to loss of connectivity or degradation of service.
IP Options
This category provides the IP address configuration required in the case of non-PPP routed connections.
Available choices are: automatic configuration through
DHCP
, and
Static IP
address configuration. In
the latter case:

1.
IP Address
is the IP address used for the WAN interface.
2.
Netmask
is the corresponding subnet mask.
3.
Gateway
is the default gateway, used only if the
Default route
option described below is either
Yes
or
Backup
.
IP Routing
The
Default route
parameter defines if the connection will provide the default route for Internet
connectivity.
Available options are
Yes
, for a connection offering default route,
Backup
, for a
connection acting as a backup in case of failure of the default-route connection, and
No
, for any plain
connection without a default-route gateway.
Note
Only one connection is allowed to provide default route. Usually, this connection will be
the one providing Internet Data service.

DSL Line
In this configuration sub-menu, it is possible to modify the different parameters controlling the functionality
of the DSL modem embedded into the OxyGEN
mini
Office.
Figure 6.8: DSL Line Parameters
The following parameters can be configured:
Bitswap
: swap bits around different frequency channels, in order to adapt to changes of the line
conditions without retraining.
SRA
: seamless rate adaptation of the DSL data rate as a response to changes of the line conditions
in order to avoid dropping a connection.
Annex M
: a variation of the ADSL technology offering increased upload speed
(if supported by
your model of the OxyGEN miniOffice and by the ISP’s DSLAM - PSTN connections only)
.
Databoost
: a special, proprietary, mode of operation offering higher speeds of connection
(if
supported by the ISP’s DSLAM)
.
EC/FDM Mode
: choice between
echo-cancellation
(EC) or
frequency division multiplexing
(FDM)
mode of operation.
Coding Gain
: the increase in efficiency that the coded signal provides over an uncoded one.
