‰ PPPoE: Point-to-Point over Ethernet is a common connection method used for xDSL.
‰ MAC Encapsulated Routing: If your ADSL service is a Bridged mode service and you
want to share the connection to multiple PC’s, please select MAC Encapsulated Routing.
MER is a protocol that allows you do IP routing with NAT enabled.
VPI/VCI See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI). Data flows are
broken up into fixed length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) that
identifies the path between two nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that identifies the
data channel within that virtual path. Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of cells
between the two end points. When there is no data to transmit, empty cells are sent. When data
needs to be transmitted, it is immediately inserted into the cell flows.
Parameter Description
Encapsulation Shows the packet encapsulation type.
Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM
transport layer.
‰ VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation)
allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
‰ LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols
running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).
QoS Class ATM QoS classes including CBR, UBR and VBR.
PCR/SCR/MBS QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS
(Maximum Burst Size) are configurable.
IP assigned by Select Yes if the IP address was provided by your ISP. ISP
IP Address If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time you connect, leave this field all
zeros. Otherwise, enter your ISP supplied static IP address here.
Subnet Mask If your subnet mask is assigned by the ISP each time you connect, leave this
field all zeros. Otherwise, enter your subnet mask here.
Connect
Type Sets connection mode to always connected,
automatic or manual connection.
Idle Time
Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet
connection.
(minutes) After this time has been exceeded the
connection will be
terminated.
Username Enter user name.
Password Enter password.
Confirm
Password Confirm password.
MTU Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
at the default value (1500) unless you have a
particular reason to change it.
