WAN4-21ATMEnter ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) interface information on this page. Click APPLY. Parameter DescriptionProtocol • Disable: Disables the connection.• 1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2 technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and increase the number of stations on a LAN without compromising performance. Bridged data is encapsulated using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data transport.• PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method of encapsulating data for transmission to a far point.• 1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost connection to the Internet via a standard 10BASE-T port. The router looks up the network address for each packet seen on the LAN port. If the address is listed in the routing table as local, it is filtered. If the address is listed under the ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found, then it is automatically forwarded to the default router (i.e., the ADSL router at the head end).
