Static Settings:
;
Encapsulation: The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header
information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an example, in Internet
terminology, a packet would contain a header from the physical layer, followed by a header
from the network layer (IP), followed by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed
by the application protocol data.
Two options are provided: Logical Link Control (LLC) and Virtual Channel (VC).
;
IP Address: Enter the IP Address provided by your ISP.
;
Mask: Enter the Subnet mask specified by your ISP.
;
Default Gateway: Enter the Default Gateway as specified by the ISP.
;
DNS: Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can also be specified.
;
Mode: For static configuration, you can also select a bridge connection or a routed
connection. Since a Static IP address is typically used to host WEB servers, Bridged
connection is usual however Routed is provided also. Check with ISP for confirmation.
PVC Settings:
;
PVC: This field allows you to choose the specific PVC for the PPP session.
;
VPI: Virtual Path Identifier is a virtual path used for cell routing that is identified by an eight bit
field in the ATM cell header. The VPI field specifies this eight bit identifier for routing.
;
VCI: A Virtual Channel Identifier is a virtual channel that is identified by a unique numerical
tag that is defined by a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. The purpose of the virtual channel
is to identify where the cell should travel. The VCI field specifies this 16 bit numerical tag that
determines the destination.
;
QoS: Select the Quality of Service (QoS) type. If in doubt leave as default.
;
PCR: Peak Cell Rate. This is an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) term to describe the
rate cells per second that the source device may never exceed. Available only when VBR
QoS is chosen.
;
SCR: Security Cell Rate. This is an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) term to describe the
security cell transmitted per second.
;
MBS: Maximum Burst Size. A term used in ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) to specify
the maximum number of cells which can be transmitted at the contracted PCR (Peak Cell
Rate). Available only when VBR QoS is chosen.
