multiplexing method your ISP requires.
(1) VC-Based Multiplexing
In VC-based multiplexing, by prior mutual agreement, each protocol is assigned to a
specific virtual circuit. For example, VC1 carries IP, etc. VC-based multiplexing may be dominant
in environments where dynamic creation of large numbers of ATM VCs is fast and economical.
(2) LLC-Based Multiplexing
In LLC-based multiplexing, one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol-identifying
information contained in each packet header. While this method requires extra bandwidth and
processing overhead, this method may be advantageous if it is not practical to have a separate
VC for each carried protocol; for example, if charging heavily depends on the number of
simultaneous VCs.
5.3.7 VPI and VCI
Be sure to use the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) numbers
assigned to you. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. The valid range for the VCI is 32 to
65535. 0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic.

6. Interface Setup
The physical connections determine whether the router ports are local area network (LAN)
ports or wide area network (WAN) ports. There are two kinds of IP networks. The local, private
kind is the LAN network; the global, public kind is the WAN network. The following illustration
shows the relationship between the router and the two different networks.
A LAN is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is
generally limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building.
A WAN is an outside connection to another network or to the Internet.
Click an Interface Setup link to set ATM VC values, ISP Encapsulation, configure multi-
connection settings, and LAN configuration.
6.1 Internet
The Internet screen allows you to set up how your router connects to the Internet. If you
already ran the Quick Start wizard, the information you provided to the wizard should be entered
into the fields already. After you finish the changes, click on the SAVE button to save your

6.1.1 ATM VC & QoS
ATM settings are used to connect to your ISP. Your ISP provides VPI, VCI, settings to you.
In this Device, you can totally setup 8 PVCs on different encapsulations if you apply 8 different
virtual circuits from your ISP. You need to activate the VC to take effect. For PVCs management,
you can use ATM QOS to setup each PVC traffic line’s priority.
Virtual Circuit: Select the VC number you want to setup.
VPI: Virtual Path Identifier. The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255.
VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier. The valid range for the VCI is 1 to 65635 (0 to 31 is reserved for
local management of ATM traffic).
ATM QoS: Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit. The ATM QoS types include
CBR(Constant Bit Rate), VBR(Variable Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate). These QoS
types are all controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR, SCR, and MBS.
PCR: Peak Cell Rate (PCR) is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells. This
parameter may be lower (but not higher) than the maximum line speed. 1 ATM cell is 53 bytes
(424 bits), so a maximum speed of 832 Kbps gives a maximum PCR of 1962 cells/sec. This rate
is not guaranteed because it is dependent on the line speed.
SCR: Sustained Cell Rate (SCR) is the mean cell rate of a bursty, on-off traffic source that can
be sent at the peak rate, and a parameter for burst-type traffic. SCR may not be greater than the
PCR; the system default is 0 cells/sec.
MBS: Maximum Burst Size (MBS) is the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the PCR.
After MBS is reached, cell rates fall below SCR until cell rate averages to the SCR again. At this
39
time, more cells (up to the MBS) can be sent at the PCR again.
CBR is for connections that support constant rates of data transfer. The only parameter you
need to worry about in CBR is PCR.
UBR is for connections that have variable traffic. The only parameter you need to worry about in
UBR is PCR.
rtVBR is for connections that, while having variable traffic, require precise timing between traffic
source and destination. PCR, SCR and MBS must all be set for rtVBR.
nrtVBR is for connections that have variable traffic, do not require precise timing, but still require
a set bandwidth availability. PCR, SCR and MBS must all be set for nrtVBR.
6.1.2 Encapsulation
Select the encapsulation protocol your ISP uses. The following section will vary depending
on which encapsulation protocol you select.

example, 192.168.1.1 (default setting).
IP Subnet Mask: Your ADSL router will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on
the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing sub netting, use the subnet
mask computed by the ADSL router.
44
Dynamic Route: Select the Dynamic Route from RIP1, RIP2-B, and RIP2-M. Please refer to
InternetÆ Dynamic Route. The only difference is the interface.
IGMP Snoop: You can disabled and enabled IGMP Snoop function.
6.2.2 Explaining RIP Setup
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers. The RIP Direction field controls how RIP packets are allowed to enter and
leave the router. Selecting Both means the router will broadcast its routing table and
incorporate the RIP information that it receives. Selecting In Only means the router will
only accept RIP packets received, not send RIP packets. Selecting Out Only means the
router will only send RIP packets, not accept any RIP packets received. Selecting
None means the router will not send any RIP packets nor will it accept any RIP packets
received.
The Dynamic Route field controls the format and the broadcasting method of RIP
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving packets.
RIP-1 is universally supported, but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is adequate for
most networks. Only consider RIP-2 if your network has unusual topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet
broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Direction: Select the RIP direction from None, Both, In Only and Out Only.
Multicast: IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to
establish membership in a multicast group. The ADSL router supports both IGMP-v1 and
IGMP-v2. Select None to disable it. Please refer to InternetÆ Multicast. The only difference
is the interface.
6.2.3 DHCP Server
The DHCP Server gives out IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP to
be logged on to the network. It must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address
automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the
range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the client on the network.
45
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Starting IP Address Enter the starting IP address you wish to use as the DHCP server's IP
assignment.
IP Pool Count Enter the maximum user pool size you wish to allow.
Lease Time Enter the amount of time you wish to lease out a given IP address.
DNS Relay Select the DNS relay option you wish to use from the dropdown list.
Primary DNS Server Enter the primary DNS server IP address you wish to use. For user
discovered DNS only.
Secondary DNS Server Enter the secondary DNS server IP address you wish to use. For user
discovered DNS only.
6.2.4 DHCP Relay
A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that request IP
addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the device’s interfaces
can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enable, the DHCP requests from local PCs will
forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function working properly,
please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port, and make sure
the routing table has the correct routing entry.
DHCP Server IP for relay agent: The DHCP server IP Address runs on WAN side.
46
6.2.5 DNS Relay
The DNS Configuration allows the user to set the configuration of DNS.
DNS Rely Selection: If user wants to disable this feature, he just needs to set both Primary
& Secondary DNS to 0.0.0.0. Using DNS relay, users can setup DNS server IP to
192.168.1.1 on their computer. If not, device will perform as NO DNS relay.
If you don’t want to use the DNS Relay option, set the DNS relay to “Use User
Discovered DNS Server Only” and set both Primary and Secondary DNS Servers to
“0.0.0.0”.
