Autodetect enables the modem to automatically detect and configure a valid ATM VC at startup. Autodetect eliminates the need to have users configure VC values as described in

Configuring the ATM Virtual Circuit

[Autodetect Modes]

Autodetect can be used to establish PPPoE, PPPoA, IPoA-1577 and EoA connections and can be configured in either of two modes: bridging mode and routing mode.

--When Autodetect is configured in bridging mode, it can detect the presence of PPPoE and EoA interfaces on the access server. In this mode, the modem must be configured as a bridge and a PPPoE or DHCP client is expected to be running on the LAN PC (behind the modem).

--When configured in routing mode, Autodetect can detect PPPoE, EoA, PPPoA, or IPoA-1577 interfaces on the access server. Autodetect searches for these interfaces in that order. Depending on the interface detected, Autodetect creates a PPP, EoA, or IPoA interface on the modem. In this mode, the modem is expected to be configured as a router.
