12 Configuring IPoA Interfaces
This chapter describes how to configure an IPoA (Internet Protocol-over-ATM) interface on the
Best Data DSL542.
Viewing Your IPoA Interface Setup
To configure an IPoA interface, log into Configuration Manager, click the WAN t ab, and then click
IPoA in the task bar. The IPoA page displays, as shown in Figure 43.
Figure 42. IPoA Page
The IPoA table contains a row for each EOA interface currently defined on th e device. The table
may initially contain no entries.
The following table describes the fields on this page:
Field Description
Interface The name the software uses to identify the IPoA
interface
IPoA Type Specifies whether or not the IPoA protocol to be
used complies with the IEFT RFC 1577 "Classical
IP and ARP over ATM" (contact your ISP if
unsure).
Lower interface IPoA interfaces are defined in software, and then
associated with lower-level software and hardware
structures (at the lowest level, they are associated
with a physical port – the WAN port). This field
should reflect an interface name defined in the
next lower level of software over which the IPoA
interface will operate. This will be an ATM VCC
interface, such as aal5-0.
Peer IP Address The IP address of the remote computer you will be
connecting to via the WAN interface.
