is not practical to have a separate VC for each carried protocol, for example, if charging heavily depends on the number of simultaneous VCs.
3.11 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following methods.
3.11.1 ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP network protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment for instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway field in menu 4 and in the Rem IP Addr field in menu 11.1. You can get this information from your ISP.
3.11.2 PPP over Ethernet
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to
3.11.3 PPPoA
Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information on PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
3.11.4 RFC 1483
RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit
3.12 IP Address Assignment
A static IP is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time. The Single User Account feature can be enabled or disabled if you have either a dynamic or
