Manually Configuring your Modem-Router
VPI/VCI | See Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit |
| Identifier (VCI). Data flows are broken up into fixed |
| length cells, each of which contains a Virtual Path |
| Identifier (VPI) that identifies the path between two |
| nodes, and a Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) that |
| identifies the data channel within that virtual path. |
| Each virtual circuit maintains a constant flow of |
| cells between the two end points. When there is |
| no data to transmit, empty cells are sent. When |
| data needs to be transmitted, it is immediately |
| inserted into the cell flows. |
Encapsulation | Shows the packet encapsulation type. |
| Packet encapsulation specifies how to handle |
| multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer. |
| • |
| Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only |
| one protocol running per virtual circuit with less |
| overhead. |
| • LLC: |
| Link Control allows multiple protocols running over |
| one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead). |
QoS Class | ATM QoS classes including CBR, UBR and VBR. |
PCR/SCR/MBS | QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR |
| (Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst |
| Size) are configurable. |
IP Address | If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time |
| you connect, leave this field all zeros. Otherwise, |
| enter your ISP supplied static IP address here. |
Subnet Mask | If your subnet mask is assigned by the ISP |
| each time you connect, leave this field all zeros. |
| Otherwise, enter your subnet mask here. |
Connect Type | Sets connection mode to always connected, |
| automatic or manual connection. |
| Idle Time Enter the maximum idle time for the |
| Internet connection. (minutes) After this time has |
| been exceeded the connection will be terminated. |

MTU | Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) |
| at the default value (1500) unless you have a |
| particular reason to change it. |
Clone MAC Address
Clicking on the Clone MAC Address brings up the following screen.
Some ISPs may require that you register your MAC address with them. If this is the case, the MAC address of the Modem- Router must be changed manually to the MAC address that you have registered with your ISP. Most ISP’s in Australia and New Zealand do not require this option.
