Configuring the ATM
This chapter describes how to configure the ATM virtual channel (VC) connection, which defines
the path the Prestige uses to communicate with your ISP over the ATM network.
12.1 Introduction
As your LAN computers access the Internet via the Prestige, data is exchanged with your ISP through a
complex network of telephone switches, Internet routers, servers, and other specialized hardware. These
various devices communicate using a common language, or protocol, called Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM). On the Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects you to your ISP, the ATM protocol performs
functions like those that the Ethernet protocol performs on your LAN.
12.2 Viewing Your ATM Setup
To view your current configuration, click WAN and then ATM VC to display the ATM VC
Configuration screen.
Figure 12-1 ATM VCC Configuration
The ATM VC Configuration screen displays a row for each VC interface currently configured (usually
only one). Each set of VC properties is considered as an interface because it defines a data path to the
Prestige over the ATM network. VC interfaces are completely defined in the Prestige firmware, and then
associated with the DSL (WAN) port.
