The Setup Tab
The Basic Setup Tab
The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup tab. This tab allows you to change the Gateway's general
settings. Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to save your changes, or
click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your changes.
Internet Setup
• PVC Connection. If your ADSL account provides more than one permanent virtual circuit (PVC), you can have
multiple, simultaneous, independent WAN connections. PVC 1 is selected and enabled by default. When you
are ready to configure another PVC, select its number here and click the Enable Now box to enable it.
• Internet Connection Type. The Gateway supports six Encapsulation methods: RFC 1483 Bridged, RFC 1483
Routed, IPoA, RFC 2516 PPPoE, RFC 2364 PPPoA, and Bridged Mode Only. Select the appropriate type of
encapsulation from the drop-down menu. Each Basic Setup screen and available features will differ
depending on what type of encapsulation you select.
• VC Settings. You will configure your Virtual Circuit (VC) settings in this section.
• Multiplexing: Select LLC or VC, depending on your ISP.
• QoS Type: Select from the drop-down menu: UBR (Unspecific Bit Rate) for applications that are non-time-
sensitive, such as e-mail; CBR (Continuous Bit Rate) to specify fixed bandwidth for voice or data traffic; or
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) for bursty traffic and bandwidth-sharing with other applications.
