1.1.1.37 ASI-IP-GTW Configuration 
The number entered into the Type of service (TOS) field on  
ASI-IP-GTW IP TX configuration menu defines all 8 bits. The value used 
should be in accordance with traffic engineering policy of network and 
should be in the range from 0 to 255. 
12.3 Layer 2 priority 
Prioritisation can also be supported at layer 2 for the case when VLAN 
tags. The 802.1q VLAN tag has 3 bits for setting the Class of Service 
(COS). The operation is further defined in 802.1p. The COS bits will be 
handled in the same ways as diff-serve or precedence bits with regard 
to packet classification in the network  
1.1.1.38 ASI-IP-GTW Configuration 
The COS priority is entered on the VLAN configuration tab on the  
ASI-IP-GTW IP TX configuration menu, in the field named VLAN 
Priority
A value in the range from 0 to 7 should be inserted. This 
value will be directly transferred to 3 user priority bits in the VLAN 
header. 
More information on quality of service issues and configuration can be 
found in the literature e.g. router configuration guides.
