Configuration Using the NMS
Parameter | Description |
|
|
Port Mode Setting | Specify a port mode: |
| z Fixed – The upstream and downstream rates |
| are fixed. |
| z Adaptive – The ports will automatically train |
| up to the best possible speed supported by the |
| DSLAM, the modem at the remote end, and |
| the copper cable pair connecting the two. |
| z Fixed Adaptive – The ports will automatically |
| train up to the best possible speed, subject to a |
| |
| downstream bandwidth. |
|
|
VPI/VCI Detect Setting | Specify the port behavior with regard to VPI/ |
| VCI detection: |
| z On – The DSLAM will monitor the line to |
| determine the VPI and VCI settings of the |
| remote ADSL modem and set itself |
| accordingly. If no ATM cells are detected (at |
| any VPI/VCI setting), the port will default to |
| VPI 0 and VCI 35. |
| z Off – The port will use the default setting of |
| VPI and VCI (0/35 if not changed by the |
| setting of VPI and VCI, below), or lock in the |
| VPI/VCI already discovered while VPI/VCI |
| detection was On. |
|
|
Data Rate Setting | If you have selected a Port Mode of Fixed or |
| Fixed Adaptive, specify the maximum upstream |
| and downstream rates, in bps. |
|
|
Filter IP Address Settings | Specify up to four IP address ranges. Packets are |
| accepted from source IP addresses in the ranges |
| specified. |
|
|
Protocol Setting | Click in the check box to enable Protocol Setting |
| detection. Select Allow Selected and specify up |
| to four Ethertypes allowed on the ports. |
|
|
DHCP Option 82 | Specify whether DHCP Option 82 is enabled, |
| and if it is, whether packets are identified by IP |
| address or circuit ID. This identifier is added to |
| packets to let your DHCP Server recognize |
| which DSLAM port an IP address request is |
| coming from, thereby allowing the DHCP |
| Server to limit the number of IP addresses |
| assigned per port. |
|
|
VPI and VCI | Specify a default VPI and VCI if VPI/VCI |
| Detect Setting (above) is Off. |
