Appendix H. RFC1483 Quick Start (Bridging)

The TA 544 allows for complete integration of voice and data delivery from one compact platform. Once you have completed the voice turn up procedure from the previous example, adding data to the circuit requires some additional setup.

To configure a TA 544 for Bridging, you need to know the VPI and VCI values for the data circuit on your network.

Bridging

Step	Action
1	From the TA 544 main menu, select the WAN menu. (Here you set up
	the ATM network.)
2	Select the ATM CONFIG menu.
3	Enter the IDLE CELLS format for your network.
4	Set DATA SCRAMBLING appropriately for your network.
5	Back all the way out to the top level TA 544 menu, and then select the
	ROUTER menu.
	Enter the CONFIGURATION menu.
6	From this menu, you will set up addresses for your LAN and WAN.
	For basic IP routing, use all the default values from the GLOBAL menu.
7	From the ETHERNET menu, enter the IP menu to enter your LAN
	configuration.
	Enter your LAN IP ADDRESS and SUBNET MASK.
8	For this example, the IP ADDRESS is 192.168.1.2 and the SUBNET MASK
	is 255.255.255.0. This is not required, but will allow Telnet configuration
	and TFTP upgrades from the LAN.
	Arrow back to the main ROUTER CONFIGURATION menu, and select the
9	WAN menu and then the ATM menu. (Here you will enter your data
	PVC information.)
10	Create a new PVC by entering the menu. Enter your VPI and VCI
	values.
11	Disable IP on the RFC1483 IP menu and enable Bridging on the
	RFC1483 BRIDGE menu. (This enables the TA 544 as a bridge.)
12	Arrow back to the top level TA 544 menu to activate your changes.
	All packets that come in on the Ethernet will be forwarded on the WAN.
