The only information required for an RFC 1483 configuration in a
dynamic environment are the VPI/VCI numbers from your ISP.
The
DHCP Client over WAN
setting is enabled, and unless
instructed otherwise, the IP Routing Protocol should be set to
RIPv2.
Assign a meaningful name to your configuration in the
PVC Name
(Private Virtual Circuit)
field, and record your settings here:
PVC Name: ________________ VPI: _______ VCI: _______
Click the Apply button to apply your changes.
After you successfully created your administrative account
and assigned a password, you can now start the WAN
configuration.
The WAN Configuration page is displayed (Fig 7).
Important
: Before you begin, ensure that you have obtained all
required WAN parameter information from your Service Provider
to properly configure the connection.
To configure a WAN protocol, select it from the WAN Protocol
field’s drop-down menu. The following WAN protocols are sup-
ported: RFC 1483 (ATM Adaptation Layer 5 Protocol), RFC
1483-MER (MAC Encapsulated
Routing), PPPoE (Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet), PPPoA
(LLC-SNAP) (Point-to-Point
Protocol over ATM with Logical
Link Control), and PPPoA (VC-
Mux) (Point-to-Point Protocol
over ATM with Virtual Circuit).
When you select a WAN proto-
col, the WAN Configuration page
interactively changes to display
the fields associated with the
selected protocol.
For a description of each field on the WAN Configuration page,
click the Help button.
After the WAN configuration is complete and you are connected,
go to the Documentation link in the online help section, to get
more detailed information and step-by-step instructions in the
OfficeConnect Gateway User’s Guide. Alternately you can type
