4.2.1.1.6 New Connection - CLIP Connection Setup
CLIP:
When CLIP mode is selected, the following screen wills pop-up. The Classical IP over ATM (CLIP)
support provides the ability to transmit IP packets over an ATM network, CLIP support will encapsulate
IP in an AAL5 packet data unit (PDU) frame using RFC1577and utilizes an ATM-aware version of the
ARP protocol.
Name:
Enter the CLIP connection name. The name must be unique and must not contain spaces
and must not begin with a number.
Type:
Connection Type: CLIP.
CLIP Settings:
;
IP Address:
Enter the IP Address provided by your ISP.
;
Mask:
Enter the Subnet mask specified by your ISP.
;
ARP Server:
Leave as Default ( 0.0.0.0 ) unless advised by ISP.
;
Default Gateway:
Enter the Default Gateway as specified by the ISP.
PVC Settings:
;
VPI:
Virtual Path Identifier is a virtual path used for cell routing that is identified by an eight bit
field in the ATM cell header. The VPI field specifies this eight bit identifier for routing.
;
VCI:
A Virtual Channel Identifier is a virtual channel that is identified by a unique numerical
tag that is defined by a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. The purpose of the virtual channel
is to identify where the cell should travel. The VCI field specifies this 16 bit numerical tag that
determines the destination.
;
QoS:
Select the Quality of Service (QoS) type. If in doubt leave as default.
;
PCR:
Peak Cell Rate. This is an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) term to describe the
rate cells per second that the source device may never exceed. Available only when VBR
QoS is chosen.
;
SCR:
Security Cell Rate. This is an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) term to describe the
security cell transmitted per second.
;
MBS:
Maximum Burst Size. A term used in ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) to specify
the maximum number of cells which can be transmitted at the contracted PCR (Peak Cell
Rate). Available only when VBR QoS is chosen.
