Setup
tab: configures the following parameters;
Profile
- option to use an existing stored setup or to create a new configuration
Data Path
- Preset on BX100V based on ATM or PTM selection
Mode
- select PPPoA, PPPoE, LLC-BRG or LLC-RTE
Encapsulation
- sets encapsulation type.
PPPoA - select between LLC or VC MUX. Complies with RFC2364.
PPPoE - select LLC. Complies with RFC2516
LLC-BRG - select between LLC or VC based multiplexing
LLC-RTE - select between LLC or VC based multiplexing
Authentication
- select between PAP, CHAP or Auto (available in PPPoA and PPPoE modes only)
VPI
- Virtual Path Indicator. Enter value in the range of 0 to 255 using the pop-up keypad
VCI
- Virtual Channel Identifier. Enter value in the range of 32 to 65535 using the pop-up keypad
IP
- select Static or Dynamic. (available in PPPoA, PPPoE and LLC-BRG only)
IP Address and Gateway
- enter address using pop-up keypad. (available in IP Static mode only)
DNS
- Domain Name Server selections of Auto, On or Off.
User ID
- enter information using pop-up keypad
Password
- enter information using pop-up keypad
Note: LLC versus VC MUX encapsulation.
Virtual Channel Multiplexing (VC Mux)
- multiple VCs are created so that different protocols
can be sent over each VC. The receiver knows that all the packets arriving on a particular VC belong
to a particular protocol therefore more bandwidth is available for data.
LLC/SNAP
- only one VC is used. Extra headers are put into the front of data packets before they
are passed to the AAL5 process. The main purpose of these headers is to hold a field that specifies
the protocol type of the enclosed data packet.
RFC 1483 defines two different types of LLC/SNAP headers:
RFC 1483 Routed
- Only the Layer 3 protocol frame is encapsulated with an RFC 1483
header in the AAL5 frame. The modem forwards packets based on their IP addresses i.e. it
routes packets.
RFC 1483 Bridged
- The whole Ethernet packet that arrives on the Ethernet side of the
modem is encapsulated into AAL5 using the 'bridged-data' format defined in RFC 1483. The
modem forwards packets based on their MAC addresses i.e. it bridges the packets.
