Uplink Configuration Wizard
The
Uplink Configuration Wizard
allows the administrator to configure the WAN interface settings and to adjust QX1000’s connectivity with an
external network. The
Uplink
Configuration Wizard MUST be run for QX1000 to be connected to the Internet
.
All the settings of the
Uplink Configuration Wizard
are described
in the chapters below except those for the IP settings, which will be
described in this chapter.
Attention:
It is strongly recommended not to change the factory
default settings if their meanings are not fully clear to an
administrator.

The Wizard allows navigating through the following basic configuration parameters and settings:
•
Uplink Selection
•
Ethernet/Vlan IP Configuration
•
The
Uplink Configuration
page allows you to select the QX1000‘s WAN interface connection type and its bandwidth settings. These settings will
make QX1000 available to the external network.
Depending on the Uplink
Interface Type
selection, the page
following the
Uplink Configuration
page is different. Thus if
VLAN
(if configured) is selected, the next page will be
, while selecting
Ethernet
will bring up the
Ethernet
IP Configuration
page.
The bandwidth provided by the ISP has to be specified in the text
fields
Upstream Speed
and
Downstream Speed
.This settings
allow the specification of the upstream and downstream speeds in
kbit/s, helping to assure the quality of IP calls. An IP call looses the
voice quality if there is no available bandwidth. When approaching
the limits of bandwidth capacity, another IP call will be declined.
The default entry in both fields is 1000000, the maximum bandwidth
of a 1000 MB Ethernet. You may see the required bandwidth in the
chapter
The
Min Data Rate
text field requires the amount of upstream
bandwidth that ought to remain for data applications even if voice
applications use the entire available upstream bandwidth. The value
selected here needs to be smaller than the upstream bandwidth
and is measured in kbit/s.

The
Maximum Transfer Unit
drop down list allows you to select the maximum packet size on the Ethernet (in bytes). MTU is used to fragment the
packets before transmitting them to the network. The MTU preferred value is dependent on the Ethernet connection. The default MTU size is 1500
Bytes for Ethernet.
