Encapsulation
Mode
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list box. Choices
are:
•
LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING:
In LCC encapsulation, bridged PDUs are encapsulated by
identifying the type of the bridged media in the SNAP header. This is available only when
you select
IPoE
or
PPPoE
in the
Select DSL Link Type
field.
•
VC/MUX:
In VC multiplexing, each protocol is carried on a single ATM virtual circuit
(VC). To transport multiple protocols, the Device needs separate VCs. There is a binding
between a VC and the type of the network protocol carried on the VC. This reduces
payload overhead since there is no need to carry protocol information in each Protocol
Data Unit (PDU) payload.
•
LLC/ENCAPSULATION:
More than one protocol can be carried over the same VC. This
is available only when you select
PPPoA
in the
Encapsulation
field.
•
LLC/SNAP-ROUTING:
In LCC encapsulation, an IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC)
header is prefixed to each routed PDU to identify the PDUs. The LCC header can be
followed by an IEEE 802.1a SubNetwork Attachment Point (SNAP) header. This is
available only when you select
IPoA
in the
Encapsulation
field.
Service
Category
Select
UBR Without PCR
or
UBR With PCR
for applications that are non-time sensitive,
such as e-mail.
Select
CBR
(Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or data
traffic.
Select
Non Realtime VBR
(non real-time Variable Bit Rate) for connections that do not
require closely controlled delay and delay variation.
Select
Realtime VBR
(real-time Variable Bit Rate) for applications with bursty connections
that require closely controlled delay and delay variation.
Peak Cell Rate
Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell Rate
(PCR). This is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. Type the PCR here.This
field is not available when you select
UBR Without PCR
.
Sustainable
Cell Rate
The Sustainable Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be
transmitted. Type the SCR, which must be less than the PCR. Note that system default is 0
cells/sec.
This field is available only when you select
Non Realtime VBR
or
Realtime VBR
.
Maximum Burst
Size
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the
peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535.
This field is available only when you select
Non Realtime VBR
or
Realtime VBR
.
PPP
Information
This is available only when you select
PPPoE
or
PPPoA
in the
Mode
field.
PPP User Name
Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a name in the form
user@domain
where domain identifies a service name, then enter both components exactly
as given.
PPP Password
Enter the password associated with the user name above.
PPP Auto
Connect
Select this option if you do not want the connection to time out.
IDLE Timeout
This value specifies the time in minutes that elapses before the router automatically
disconnects from the PPPoE server.
This field is not configurable if you select
PPP Auto Connect
.
PPPoE Service
Name
Enter the name of your PPPoE service here.
