Westell Technologies 2100 manual Vpi

User Guide	WireSpeed Dual Connect NAT Router
Status	Allows you to enable or disable your VC (Virtual Connection)
VPI	Displays the VPI (Virtual Path Indicator) value for a particular VC, which is
	defined by your Service Provider.
VCI	Displays the VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator) value for a particular VC,
	which is defined by your Service Provider.
Protocol	Displays the Protocol for each VC, which is specified by your Service
	Provider.
NOTE: The configuration	PPPoA = Point to Point Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
specified by your Service	PPPoE = Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet
Provider will determine which	Bridge = Bridge Protocol
Protocols are available to you.	Classical IPoA = Internet Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer
	Mode). This is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol.
Bridge Broadcast	Factory Default = CHECKED
	When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Broadcast IP packets
	to/from the WAN.
	When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the router will block Broadcast IP
	packets to/from the WAN.
	This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for
	Bridge mode.
Bridge Multicast	Factory Default = CHECKED
	When this setting is CHECKED, the Router will allow Multicast IP packets
	to/from the WAN.
	When this setting is NOT CHECKED, the Router will block Multicast IP
	packets to/from the WAN.
	This setting is only valid if one of the Virtual Channels is configured for
	Bridge mode.
Spanning Tree Protocol	Factory Default = DISABLED
	Spanning Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path
	redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For Ethernet
	network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two
	stations.
	When ENABLED, two bridges are used to interconnect the same two
	computer network segments. Spanning Tree Protocol will allow the bridges to
	exchange information so that only one of them will handle a given message
	that is being sent between two computers within the network.
