3.9Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following methods.

3.9.1 PPP

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.

3.9.2 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 (LLC-based multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate ATM virtual circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.

3.10 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.

3.11 Internet Access Configuration

Menu 4 allows you to enter your Internet Access information in one screen. Menu 4 is actually a simplified setup for one of the remote nodes that you can access in menu 11. Before you configure your Prestige for Internet access, you need to collect your Internet account information from your ISP and telephone company.

Use the following table to record your Internet Account Information. Note that if you are using PPP or encapsulation the only ISP information you need is a login name and password. If you are using RFC 1483, you do not need a login name or password.
