one protocol running per virtual circuit with less
overhead.

LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical
Link Control allows multiple protocols running over
one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).

Clone MAC Address
Clicking on the Clone
MAC Address brings up
the following screen.
Some ISPs may require
that you register your
MAC address with them. If
this is the case, the MAC
address of the Modem
must be changed manually
to the MAC address that
you have registered with
your ISP. Most ISP’s in
Australia and New Zealand
do not require this option.

LAN
Use the LAN (Local
Area Network) menu to
configure the LAN IP
address and to enable the
DHCP server for dynamic
client address allocation.
