4.1 SpeedTouch™ Configuration Setup
Internet connectivity
In most cases no additional configuration of your SpeedTouch™ is required. You can
immediately connect your computer to the Internet as described in
Internet Connectivity” on page 15
).
SpeedTouch™ Internet
configuration
Your SpeedTouch™ has been prepared for providing the appropriate Internet services
out of the box, meaning that in the very most cases no specific configuration of the
device needs to be done.
By default following Internet services are readily available:
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=0/35 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=8/35 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=1/101 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=1/32 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=0/100 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Virtual Channel (VC) - VPI/VCI=8/48 (ETHoA, LLC/snap - Bridged Ethernet)
•
Automatic Permanent Virtual Channel (PVC) configuration (if supported by the
Telephone Operator/Service Provider)
Note
Bridged Ethernet is also referred to as (IEEE802.1b Transparent) Bridging.
However, in case your Service Provider instructs you to use an Internet service, other
than the ones listed above (i.e. another Virtual Channel needs to be applied for Bridged
Ethernet), the SpeedTouch™ offers the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard, allowing you to
create a customized Internet service.
What you need from
your ISP
In case reconfiguration is needed, you must have:
•
The Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) for the
Virtual Channel (VC) to use.
For example: VPI/VCI = 9/99
•
The ATM encapsulation method to use for encapsulating/un-encapsulating
Ethernet frames over ATM. This will either be:
•
LLC/SNAP
•
VC-MUX
•
Optionally, a user account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for Internet
access. For this user account, it will provide you with:
•
A user name (logon ID)
•
A password
Other information may be required, depending on the ISP's specific requirements.
