DSL-504G ADSL Router User’s Guide

Multiple Virtual Connections

The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles must be done through your telecommunications services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple virtual connections require ADSL routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact your ISP or telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.

After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual connections, follow the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to you by your server provider.

Configure Multiple PVCs

Additional PVCs can be configured by first accessing the WAN configuration menu in the Home directory.
