ATM VC:

ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides VPI (Virtual Path

Identifier), VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) settings to you. In this Device, you can totally setup

8 VCs on different encapsulations, if you apply 8 different virtual circuits from your ISP. You

need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs management, you can use ATM QoS to

TD-8817

setup each PVC traffic line's priority.

•

Virtual Circuit:

Select the VC number you want to setup, PVC0~PVC7.

•

Status:

If you want to use a designed VC, you should activate it.

•

VPI:

Identifies the virtual path between endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is

from 0 to 255. Please input the value provided by your ISP.

•

VCI:

Identifies the virtual channel endpoints in an ATM network. The valid range is from

32 to 65535 (1 to 31 is reserved for well-known protocols). Please input the value

provided by your ISP.

•

PVCs Summary:

Click the button, you can view the summary information about the

PVCs.

•

QoS:

Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit, including CBR (Constant

Bit Rate), UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) and VBR (Variable Bit Rate). These QoS types are

all controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR

(Sustained Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size), please configure them according

your needs.

¾

Encapsulation:

There are four connection types: Dynamic IP Address, Static IP Address,

PPPoA/PPPoE and Bridge Mode. Please choose the designed type that you want to use.

After that, you should follow the configuration below to proceed.

1.

Dynamic IP Address

Select this option if your ISP provides you an IP address automatically. This option is typically

used for Cable services. Please enter the Dynamic IP information accordingly.

Figure 4-5

¾

Encapsulation:

Select the encapsulation mode for the Dynamic IP Address, you can leave it

default.

¾

Bridge Interface:

Activate the option, the Router can also work in Bridge mode.

¾

NAT:

Select this option to Enable/Disable the NAT (Network Address Translation) function

for this VC. The NAT function can be activated or deactivated per PVC basis.

¾

Default Route:

If enable this function, the current PVC will be considered as the default

TD-8817

gateway to internet from this device.

¾

TCP MTU Option:

Enter the TCP MTU as your desire.

¾

Dynamic Route:

Select this option to specify the RIP (Routing Information protocol) version

for WAN interface, including

RIP1

,

RIP2-B

and

RIP2-M

. RIP2-B and RIP2-M are both sent in

RIP2 format, the difference is that RIP2-M using Multicast, while RIP2-B using Broadcast

format.

•

Direction:

Select this option to specify the RIP direction.

None

is for disabling the RIP

function.

Both

means the ADSL Router will periodically send routing information and

accept routing information, and then incorporate them into routing table.

IN only

means

the ADLS router will only accept but will not send RIP packet.

OUT only

means the

ADLS router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.

¾

Multicast:

Select IGMP version, or disable the function. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast

Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The

ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (

IGMP v1

) and

IGMP v2

. Select “Disabled” to

disable it.

2.

Static IP Address

Select this option if your ISP provides static IP information to you. You should set static IP

address, IP subnet mask, and gateway address in the screen below (shown in Figure 4-6).

Figure 4-6

)

Note:

Each IP address entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which is four IP octets

separated by a dot (x.x.x.x), such as 192.168.1.100. The Router will not accept the IP address if it

is not in this format.

3.

PPPoA/PPPoE

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE connection. This option is typically

TD-8817

ADSL2/2+ Ethernet/USB Router User Guide

19

used for DSL services. Select Dynamic PPPoE to obtain an IP address automatically for your

PPPoE connection. Select Static PPPoE to use a static IP address for your PPPoE connection.

Please enter the information accordingly.

¾

Service name:

Specify a name for the PPPoE/PPPoA connection for recognition.

¾

Username:

Enter your username for your PPPoE/PPPoA connection to identify and verify

your account to the ISP.

¾

Password:

Enter your password for your PPPoE/PPPoA connection.

¾

Encapsulation:

For both PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you need to specify the type of

Multiplexing, either LLC or VC Mux.

¾

Bridge Interface:

Activate the option, the Router can also work in Bridge mode.

¾

Connection:

For PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you can select

Always on

or

Connect

on-Demand

or

Connect Manually

. Connect on demand is dependent on the traffic. If there

is no traffic (or

Idle

) for a pre-specified period of time), the connection will tear down

automatically. And once there is traffic send or receive, the connection will be automatically
