

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

setup each PVC traffic line's priority.



Virtual Circuit:

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



PVCs Summary:

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

PVCs.



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.



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

to your needs.



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 4-7



Encapsulation:

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

default.



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.



Default Route:

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

gateway to internet from this device.



TCP MTU Option:

Enter the TCP MTU as your desire.



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

TD-W8961N

300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

20

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 modem router will periodically send routing information

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

IN only

means the ADSL modem router will only accept but will not send RIP packet.

OUT only

means the ADSL modem router will only send but will not accept RIP packet.



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 IGMP version 1 (

IGMP v1

),

IGMP v2

and

IGMP v3

. 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 4-8).

Figure 4-8



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 modem 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

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

TD-W8961N

21

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

Please enter the information accordingly.

Figure 4-9



Servicename:

Enter a name to mark current connection, or you can leave it blank.



Username:

Enter your username for your PPPoA/PPPoE connection.



Password:

Enter your password for your PPPoA/PPPoE connection.



Encapsulation:

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

Multiplexing, either LLC or VC Mux.



Bridge Interface:

Activate the option, and the modem router can also work in Bridge mode.



Connection:

For PPPoA/PPPoE 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

on.



Static/Dynamic IP Address:

For PPPoA/PPPoE connection, you need to specify the public

IP address for this ADSL modem router. The IP address can be either dynamically (via DHCP)

or given IP address provided by your ISP. For Static IP, you need to specify the IP address,

Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address.



Default Route:

You should select

Yes

to configure the PVC as the default gateway to

internet from this device.

4)

Bridge Mode

If you select this type of connection, the modem can be configured to act as a bridging device

between your LAN and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable two or more networks to

communicate as if they are two segments of the same physical LAN.
