Channel) per ADSL Forum TR-008

One Virtual Path only is supported

The maximum overall MTU is 1500 bytes; default is 1492 bytes

Bridging protocols and operations must be disabled on access concentrators

ILMI protocols must be disabled on access concentrators

One ADSL NIM card type is supported per XSR: Annex A or B.
