WAN SetupThis screen varies according to the type of encapsulation and mode you select. |
Label |
Description |
Name | Enter the name of your Internet Service Provider, e.g., MyISP. This information is for identification purposes only. |
Mode | Select Routing (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows multiple computers to share an Internet account. Otherwise select Bridge. |
Encapsulation |
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box. Choices varies depending on the mode you select in the Mode field. If you select Bridge in the Mode field, select either PPPoA or RFC 1483. If you select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET ENCAP or PPPoE |
Multiplex | Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are VC or LLC. |
Virtual Circuit ID | VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit. Refer to the User's Guide for more information. |
VPI | The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you. |
VCI | The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you. |
ATM QoS Type | Select CBR (Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or data traffic. Select UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate) for applications that are non-time sensitive, such as e-mail. Select VBR (Variable Bit Rate) for bursty traffic and bandwidth sharing with other applications. |
Cell Rate | Cell rate configuration often helps eliminate traffic congestion that slows transmission of real time data such as audio and video connections. |
Peak
Cell Rate | Divide the DSL line rate (BPS) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell Rate (PCR). This is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. Type the PCR here. |
Sustain
Cell Rate | The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be transmitted. Type the SCR, which must be less than the PCR. |
Maximum
Burst Size | Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535. |
Login Information | |
User
Name | Enter the login name that your ISP gives you. If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service name, then enter both components exactly as given. |
Password | Enter the password associated with the user name above. |
IP Address |
This option is available if you select Routing in the Mode field. A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet. The Single User Account feature can be used with either a dynamic or static IP address. Click Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address; otherwise click Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP Address text box below. |
Connection | The schedule rule(s) in SMT menu 26 have priority over your Connection settings. |
Nailed-Up
Connection | Select Nailed-Up Connection when you want your connection up all the time. The Prestige will try to bring up the connection automatically if it is disconnected. |
Connect
on Demand |
Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field. |
Max Idle Timeout | Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field when you select Connect on Demand. The default setting is 0, which means the Internet session will not timeout. |
Zero Configuration |
This feature is not applicable/available when you configure the Prestige to use a static WAN IP address or in bridge mode. Select Yes to set the Prestige to automatically detect the Internet connection settings (such as the VCI/VPI numbers and the encapsulation method) from the ISP and make the necessary configuration changes. Select No to disable this feature. You must manually configure the Prestige for Internet access. |

PPPoE Pass Through |
This field is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation. In addition to the Prestige's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE pass through to allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP via the Prestige. Each host can have a separate account and a public WAN IP address. PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for applications where NAT is not appropriate. Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to the ISP. |
