LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Node Name

Enter a unique, descriptive name of up to 13 ASCII characters for this connection.

 

 

Mode

Select Router from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows multiple computers to share

 

an Internet account.

 

If you select Bridge, the AMG1312-T Series will forward any packet that it does not route

 

to this remote node; otherwise, the packets are discarded.

 

 

Encapsulation

Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box.

 

Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the Mode field.

 

If you select Router in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET ENCAP or

 

PPPoE.

 

If you select Bridge in the Mode field, method of encapsulation is not available.

 

 

Multiplex

Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are

 

VC or LLC.

 

By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will

 

carry IP. If you select VC, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.

 

For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with

 

protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only

 

one set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.

 

 

IPv6/IPv4 Dual

If you select Enable, the AMG1312-T Series can connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks and

Stack

choose the protocol for applications according to the address type. If you select Disable,

 

the AMG1312-T Series will operate in IPv4 mode.

 

 

VPI

The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.

 

 

VCI

The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management of

 

ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.

 

 

IP Address

This option is available if you select Router in the Mode field.

 

A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed;

 

the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet.

 

If you use the encapsulation type except RFC 1483, select Obtain an IP Address

 

Automatically when you have a dynamic IP address; otherwise select Static IP

 

Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP Address field below.

 

If you use RFC 1483, enter the IP address given by your ISP in the IP Address field.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.

 

 

Gateway IP

Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).

Address

 

 

 

Primary DNS

Enter the primary DNS server’s address for the AMG1312-T Series.

 

 

Secondary

Enter the secondary DNS server’s address for the AMG1312-T Series.

DNS

 

 

 

NAT

SUA Only is available only when you select Router in the Mode field.

 

Select SUA Only if you have one public IP address and want to use NAT. Otherwise, select

 

None to disable NAT.
