Transfer Mode
Click on the drop-down list and select Transfer Mode as ATM(Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) or PTM(Packet Transfer Mode).
ATM uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing, and encodes data into
small, fixed-sized packets called cells.
SHDSL interfaces support Packet Transfer Mode (PTM). In PTM, packets (IP,
PPP, Ethernet, MPLS, and so on) are transported over DSL links as an
alternative to using Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). PTM is based on the
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM) IEEE 802.3ah standard.
Note: This mode is changed, the system will need to reboot.
Operation Mode
Click on the drop-down list and select Operation Mode as Routing or Bridge
Choose Routing if your ISP provides you with only one IP address and you
need several computers to use the same Internet account. Choose Bridge
when your ISP provides you with more than one IP address and you need
several computers to get individual IP address from your ISP’s DHCP server.
When Bridge is selected, NAT, DHCP server and Firewall become unavailable.
Note: This mode is changed, the system will need to reboot.
