Encap Refers to the encapsulation, and decapsulation of Ethernet,
or IEEE 802.3 frames in/from AAL5/ATM. The STWireless is
compliant with RFC 1483 Multiprotocol Encapsulation over
ATM Adaptation Layer 5" and supports both the LLC/SNAP
method and the VCĆMUX method for Bridged Ethernet
V2.0/IEEE 802.3 PDUs.
By default the encapsulation method is set to LLC/SNAP.
FCS Is part of the RFC 1483 encapsulation method and indicates
whether the last four bytes of the MAC frames (mostly
referred to as Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 frames) will be
preserved or not.
For all MER connections, the FCS is set to
NO
by default.
However, via the CLI, you can set the FCS to
YES
. See
chapter 19 for more information.
