ADSL Setup
| PVC Connection |
The Gateway supports up to eight Private Virtual Circuit (PVC) connections. Default PVC addresses are as follows: 0/35, 8/35, 0/43, 0/51, 0/59, 8/43, 8/51, and 8/59.
Select Connection
Select the connection you want to configure.
Enable Now
Select this option to enable the selected connection. By default, only PVC 1 is enabled. The other seven PVCs are disabled. You must enable them before configuring layer 3 connections on top of them.
To configure the PVC settings separately from the Wide Area Network (WAN) connections, you can save the PVC settings separately. Click Save PVC.
NOTE: PVCs are layer 2 (physical and link), while WAN connections are layer 3, meaning IP and Point-to-Point (PPP) connections. For each PVC, you can configure up to one IP connection and up to four PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) connections.

| VC Settings (Advanced View) |
Configure your Virtual Circuit (VC) settings in this section.
Multiplexing
Select LLC or VCMUX, depending on your service provider. The default is LLC.
QoS Type
Select from the drop-down menu: CBR (Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed bandwidth for voice or data traffic; UBR (Unspecific Bit Rate) for application that are not time-sensitive, such as e-mail; VBR_rt; or VBR_nrt. VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is used for bursty traffic and bandwidth-sharing with other applications. VBR_rt (real time) is more time-sensitive than VBR_nrt (non-real time), and VBR_rt is typically used for voice and video traffic
NOTE: If the QoS Type setting is CBR, then the SCR Rate is not configurable. If the QoS Type setting is UBR, then the PCR and SCR Rate settings are not configurable.
PCR Rate
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 Rate
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).
Maximum Burst Size
Maximum Burst Size (MBS) only applies to VBR-nrt and VBR-rt.
Autodetect
Select Enable to have the settings automatically entered, or select Disable to enter the values manually.
Virtual Circuit
These fields consist of two items: VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier). Enter the settings provided by your service provider.
DSL Modulation
Select the appropriate mode: MultiMode, T1.413, G.dmt, G.lite, ADSL2, ADSL2 (Annex L), ADSL2 (Annex M), ADSL2+, ADSL2+ (Annex L), or ADSL2+ (Annex M). Contact your service provider if you are not sure which mode to use.
To save the modulation setting, click Save Modulation.

|
| PPPoE (RFC 2516) |
Some DSL-based service providers 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 service provider to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoE.
Username and Password
Enter the Username and Password provided by your service provider.
Connect on Demand
Max Idle Time
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 5 minutes.
Keep Alive
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 Alive.
Service Name
Enter the Service Name (optional) provided by your service provider.
|
| PPPoA (RFC 2364) |
Some DSL-based service providers 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 service provider to see if they use PPPoA. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoA.

802.1p Mark
802.1p (ethernet priority) to mark traffic sent out on this connection. A value of -1 indicates no change from the incoming packet.
Override Ethernet Priority
If false, if 802.1p Mark is specified, is applied only to packets of priority 0. If true, the 802.1p Mark, if specified, is to be applied to all packets on this connection.
RIP Recv Packet Version
Select the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version you want to use: RIP off, RIPv1, or RIPv2.
