Parameter Description
Protocol • Disable: Disables the connection.
• 1483 Bridging: Bridging is a standardized layer 2
technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to
extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment and
increase the number of stations on a LAN without
compromising performance. Bridged data is encapsulated
using the RFC1483 protocol to enable data transport.
• PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM is a method of
encapsulating data for transmission to a far point.
• 1483 Routing: 1483 Routing allows a simple, low-cost
connection to the Internet via a standard 10BASE-T port.
The router looks up the network address for each packet
seen on the LAN port. If the address is listed in the routing
table as local, it is filtered. If the address is listed under the
ADSL port, it is forwarded. Or if the address is not found,
then it is automatically forwarded to the default router (i.e.,
the ADSL router at the head end).
IP Address IP address of the ATM interface.
Subnet Mask Subnet mask of the ATM interface.
