DESCRIPTION 
EXAMPLE 
TCP/IP Setup 
 
 
IP Address Enter the (LAN) IP address of your Prestige in dotted decimal 
notation 
192.168.1.1  
IP Subnet Mask Your Prestige will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on 
the IP address that you assign.  Unless you are implementing 
subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the Prestige. 
255.255.255.0

3.7 VPI 
and 
VCI 
Be sure to use the correct Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers 
supplied by your telephone company.  The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255 and for the VCI is 32 to 
65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic).  Please see the Appendices for more 
information. 
3.8 Multiplexing 
There are two conventions to identify what protocols the virtual circuit (VC) is carrying. Be sure to use the 
multiplexing method required by your ISP. 
3.8.1 VC—based Multiplexing 
In this case, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a specific virtual circuit, for example,  
VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant in environments where dynamic creation of 
large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical. 
3.8.2 LLC—based Multiplexing 
In this case one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in each 
packet header. Despite the extra bandwidth and processing overhead, this method may be advantageous if it 
is not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if charging heavily depends on 
the number of simultaneous VCs.
