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.

Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address; 

otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP 

Address field below. 

Connection 

The schedule rule(s) have priority over your Connection settings.
