Field

Description

LLC

With

LLC

encapsulation, a link control

header is added to the Ethernet packet that

identifies the protocol type (Ethernet). This

allows multiple protocols to be transmitted

over the ATM VC.

VC

With

VC m

ultiplexing, .no link control header

is needed as the ATM VC is assumed to be

carrying a single protocol.

Username

Your user name for the PPPoA access provided by

your ISP. This field is alphanumeric and the

maximum length is 64 characters. It cannot start

with a number.

Password

Your password for the PPPoA access provided by

your ISP. This field is alphanumeric and the

maximum length is 128 characters. It cannot start

with a number.

Idle Timeout

Specifies that the PPPoA connection should

disconnect if the link has no activity detected for

n

seconds. This field is in conjunction with the

On-

Demand

feature and is enabled only when the

On

Demand

checkbox is checked. To ensure that the

link is always active, enter a

0

in this field. You can

also enter a value larger than

10

(secs).

Keep Alive

When the

On Demand

option is not enabled, this

value specifies the time to wait without being

connected to your provider before terminating the

connection. To ensure that the link is always active,

enter a

0

in this field. You can also enter any

positive integer value in this field.

This defines the authentication protocol for your

ISP.

This is set to

Auto

by default.

Auto

The authentication is automatic.

CHAP

Stands for

Challenge Handshake

Authentication Protocol.

Authentication

PAP

Stands for

Password Authentication

Protocol.

MTU

This is the

Maximum Transmission Unit

that the

DSL connection can transmit. It is a negotiated

value that packets no more than

n

bytes can be

sent to the service provider. The PPPoE interface

default is

1492 (max)

and PPPoA is

1500 (max).

The minimum MTU value is

64

.

On-Demand

If selected, this enables on-demand mode.

The

connection disconnects if no activity is detected

after the specified timeout value.

Default

Gateway

If checked, this WAN connection acts as the default

gateway to the Internet.

Field

Description

Debug

Check this checkbox to enable PPP connection

debugging facilities.

PPP

Unnumbered

PPP Unnumbered

is a special feature. It enables

the ISP to designate a block of public IP addresses

to the customer where it is statically assigned on

the LAN side. PPP Unnumbered is essentially like a

bridged connection.

LAN

The

LAN

field is associated with the

PPP

Unnumbered

field. The packets need to go through

a specific LAN group when the

PPP Unnumbered

feature is activated.

The

PVC Settings

are not mandatory except for the

VPI

and

VCI

fields.

VPI

The VPI defines the virtual path settings for the

ADSL connection between you and your ISP. The

VPI value entered here must be based on the

information provided by your ISP.

VCI

The VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) defines the

virtual channel settings for the ADSL connection

between you and your ISP.

The VCI value entered

here must be based on the information provided by

your ISP.

PVC Settings

QoS

This field defines QoS at the ATM layer.

Three

different Quality Of Service options are available in

the iConnect625W:

UBR, CBR and VBR

(refer to

the previous section under the PPPoE table for the

definitions).

The QoS selected here must be based

on the information provided by your ISP. This is set

to

UBR

by default.

7.2.3

Static Connection Setup

A Static Connection type is used whenever an ISP provides a Static IP address. Your ISP

should provide the information for the Subnet Mask and the Gateway.

Up to three

Domain Name Server

(DNS) addresses can be identified. These servers would enable

you to have access to other web servers using the host name.

To configure

Static

connection, follow the steps provided below.

Step 1

:

To begin, click the

Setup tab

on the top menu. Click the

New Connection

link.

The default

PPPoE Connection Setup

page appears:

Step 2

:

From the

Type

drop-down list, select

Static.

The following page appears:

Step 3

:

Enter a unique name for your

Static

connection in the

Name

field. The name

must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.

Step 4:

The

NAT

and

Firewall

checkboxes are checked by default under the

Options

field.

Leave these in the default mode.

Step 5:

Select the

Encapsulation Type

(LLC or VC) by highlighting the appropriate

radio button. The default is set to

LLC

. If you are unsure about the option, leave

the default setting as it is.

Step 6:

In the

IP Addres

s field, enter your assigned IP address based on the

information provided by your ISP.

Step 7:

In the

Mask

field, enter the Subnet Mask based on the information provided by

your ISP.

Step 8:

In the

Default Gateway

field, enter the

Default Gateway

based on the

information provided by your ISP.

Step 9:

In the

DNS1,

DNS2

and

DNS3

fields, enter the Domain Name Services values

based on the information provided by your ISP.

Step 10:

For the static configuration in the

Mode

option, the default mode is set to

Bridged

Routed

connection, if this is applicable.

Step 11:

In the

PVC Settings

section, the

VPI

and

VCI

are defaulted to

and

35

,

respectively. Make the changes in these fields, as provided by your ISP, if

required.

If you need to use the VPI and VCI values in an existing connection, you will need to open

it and edit the settings. It is not possible to have more than one connection using the

same VPI/VCI values.

Step 12:

Select the

QoS

. Leave the default value if you are unsure or if the ISP did not

provide this information. The PCR, SCR, MBS and CDVT fields are enabled /

disabled based depending on the selection for QoS. Your ISP should provide

VC

With

VC m

ultiplexing, no link control header

is needed as the ATM VC is assumed to be

carrying a single protocol.

IP Address

This is the static IP address that will be assigned to

the WAN interface of the iConnect625W router. The

information is based on the details provided by your

ISP.

Mask

A

Mask
