Name
Enter the name of your Internet Service Provider, e.g., MyISP. This information is for
identification purposes only.
Mode
Select
Routing
(default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows multiple
computers to share an Internet account. Otherwise select
Bridge
.
Encapsulation
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box.
Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the
Mode
field.
If you select
Bridge
in the
Mode
field, select either
PPPoA
or
RFC 1483
.
If you select
Routing
in the
Mode
field, select
PPPoA
,
RFC 1483
,
ENET ENCAP
or
PPPoE
.
Multiplex
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices
are
VC
or
LLC
.
Virtual Circuit ID
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit.
Refer to the appendix for more information.
VPI The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.
VCI The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management
of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.
ATM QoS Type
Select
CBR
(Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or
data traffic. Select
UBR
(Unspecified Bit Rate) for applications that are non-time
sensitive, such as e-mail. Select
VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) for bursty traffic and
bandwidth sharing with other applications.
VBR
is not available on all models.
Cell Rate
Cell rate configuration often helps eliminate traffic congestion that slows transmission
of real time data such as audio and video connections.
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.
Sustain Cell Rate The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be
transmitted. Type the SCR, which must be less than the PCR.
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.
Login Information
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only)
Service Name (PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
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.
Password A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not
fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet. The
Single User Account feature can be used with either a dynamic or static IP address.
