This setting allows you to change your VCI (Virtual Channel Indicator) value for a

 

particular VC, which is defined by your Service Provider.

PCR

Factory Default = 100%

 

Peak Cell Rate (PCR)-The maximum rate at which cells can be transmitted across a

 

virtual circuit, specified in cells per second and defined by the interval between the

 

transmission of the last bit of one cell and the first bit of the next.

 

This value is a percentage of the current data rate.

 

100 allows this VC to use 100% of the available bandwidth.

 

80 allows this VC to use 80% of the available bandwidth.

QoS

Quality of Service, which is determined by your Service Provider.

 

CBR = Constant Bit Rate

 

UBR = Unspecified Bit Rate

 

VBR = Variable Bit Rate

Protocol

The Protocol for each VC, which is specified by your Service Provider.

 

PPPoA = Point to Point Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)

 

PPPoE = Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet

 

Bridge = Bridge Protocol

 

Classical IPoA = Internet Protocol over ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). This

 

is an ATM encapsulation of the IP protocol.

Status

The protocol status.

 

VC x PPPoE Settings

IP Address

Displays the IP network address that your modem is on.

Gateway

Displays the router IP Gateway address

DNS Primary

Provided by your Service Provider

DNS Secondary

Provided by your Service Provider

MRU Negotiation

Factory Default = DISABLED

 

If ENABLED, the Maximum Received Unit (MRU) would enforce MRU

 

negotiations. (NOTE: enable this option only at your Internet Service Provider’s

 

request.)

LCP Echo Disable

Factory Default = Enable

 

If checked, this option will disable the modem LCP Echo transmissions.

LCP Echo Failures

Indicates number of continuous LCP echo non-responses received before the PPP

 

session is terminated.

LCP Echo Retry Duration

Indicates the interval between LCP Echo transmissions with responses.

LCP Echo Retry Duration

Indicates the interval between LCP. Echo after no response.

Tunneling

Factory Default = ENABLE

 

If ENABLED, this option allows PPP traffic to be bridged to the WAN. This feature

 

allows you to use a PPPoE shim on the host computer to connect to the Internet

 

Service Provider, by bypassing the Router’s capability to do this.

 

 

NOTE: The values for IP Address, Gateway, DNS Primary, and DNS Secondary are all “Override of the value obtained from the PPP connection,” They default to “0.0.0.0,” in which case the override is ignored. Westell recommends that you do not change the values unless your Internet Service Provider instructs you to change them.
