Multiple ATM Permanent Virtual Circuit Support

The Netopia 4752 supports up to eight permanent virtual circuits.

Multiple ATM PVC overview

On cell-based SDSL and ADSL WAN interfaces, the ATM connection between the device and the central office equipment (DSLAM) is divided logically into one or more virtual circuits (VCs). A virtual circuit may be either a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) or a switched virtual circuit (SVC). Netopia devices support PVCs.

VCs are identified by a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI). A VPI is an 8-bit value between 0 and 255, inclusive, while a VCI is a 16-bit value between 0 and 65535, inclusive.

Circuits now support attributes in addition to their VPI and VCI values. When configuring a circuit, you can specify an optional circuit name of up to 14 characters. The circuit name is used only to identify the circuit for management purposes as a convenience to aid in selecting circuits from lists. The default circuit name is “Circuit <n>”, where <n> is some number between one and eight corresponding to the circuit’s position in the list of up to eight circuits.

You can also individually enable or disable a circuit without deleting it. This is useful for temporarily removing a circuit without losing the configured attributes.

In order to function, each circuit must be bound to a Connection Profile or to the Default Profile. Among other attributes, the profile binding specifies the IP addressing information for use on the circuit. Each circuit must be bound to a distinct Connection Profile. You cannot bind multiple circuits to the same Connection Profile.
