Advanced Configuration



Wreless-N ADSL2+ Gateway

QoS Type

Select from the drop-down menu: CBR

(Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed bandwidth for voice

or data traffic; UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) for applications

that are not time-sensitive, such as e-mail; or VBR (Variable

Bit Rate) for bursty traffic and bandwidth-sharing with

other applications.

PCR

For the Peak Cell Rate (PCR), divide the DSL line rate

by 424 to get the maximum rate the sender can send

cells. Enter the rate in the field (if required by your service

provider).

SCR

The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate

that can be transmitted. The SCR value is normally less

than the PCR value. Enter the rate in the field (if required

by your service provider).

Autodetect

Select Enable to have the VPI/VCI settings

automatically detected, or select Dsable to enter the

values manually.

Vrtual Crcut

These fields consist of two items: VPI

(Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier).

Enter the settings provided by your ISP.

DSL Modulaton

Select the appropriate mode:

MultMode, T.43, G.dmt, G.lte, ADSL2, ADSL2+,

ADSL2 L, ADSL2 M, or ADSL2+ M. Contact your ISP if you

are not sure which mode to use.
Follow the instructions for your type of encapsulation.

RFC 2364 PPPoA

Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol

over ATM) to establish Internet connections. If you are

connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with

your ISP to see if they use PPPoA. If they do, you will have

to enable PPPoA.

Connect on Demand - Max Idle Tme

You can configure

the Gateway to cut the Internet connection after it has

been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time).

If your Internet connection has been terminated due to

inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Gateway to

automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you

attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option,

select Connect on Demand. In the Max  Idle  Time field,

enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed

before your Internet connection terminates. The default

Max Idle Time is  minutes.

Keep Alve - Redal Perod

If you select this option,

the Gateway will periodically check your Internet

connection. If you are disconnected, then the Gateway

will automatically re-establish your connection. To

use this option, select Keep Alve. In the Redial  Period

field, specify how often you want the Gateway to check

the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is

30 seconds.

NOTE:

For New Zealand, follow these

instructions:

Select RFC 2364 PPPoA from the

Encapsulation drop-down menu.
For the Virtual Circuit ID, enter 0 for the VPI

and 00 for the VCI.
Select VC for Multiplexing.
Select Multmode from the DSL Modulation

drop-down menu.
Obtain the User Name and Password details

from your ISP.

RFC 2516 PPPoE

Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol

over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If you are

connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with

your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have

to enable PPPoE.
