DESCRIPTION
 
Virtual Circuit 
ID 
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit. Refer to 
the appendix for more information. 
VPI  Enter the VPI assigned to you. This field may already be configured. 
VCI  Enter the VCI assigned to you. This field may already be configured. 
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. 
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.

Click this button to go to the next wizard screen. The next wizard screen you see depends on 
what protocol you chose above. Click on the protocol link to see the next wizard screen for 
that protocol. 
4.6  IP Address and Subnet Mask 
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, so too do computers on a LAN share one 
common network number. 
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If the ISP or your network 
administrator assigns you a block of registered IP addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP 
addresses and the subnet mask. 
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you have a single user account 
and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when the connection is established. If this is the case, it is 
recommended that you select a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the
