A Network Service defines the data encapsulation and protocol characteristics for
the connection between the OfficeConnect Remote 812 and the remote site. The
OfficeConnect Remote 812 supports two types of Network Services: PPP and RFC
1483. The OfficeConnect Remote 812 and the remote site must both use the
same Network Service in order for a connection to established and maintained.
For PPP, the authentication name and password must be provided to allow the
connection to be established. The OfficeConnect Remote 812 supports both PAP
and CHAP authentication.
To set up a profile for PPP, use the following commands:
set vc <vc name> network_service ppp
set vc <vc name> send_name <authentication name >
set vc <vc name> send_password <authentication password>
RFC 1483 does not support any type of authentication. Therefore, to set up a
profile for RFC 1483 you simply configure the Network Service using the
command:
set vc <vc name> network_service rfc_1483
When the Network Service is set to RFC1483, the profile's IP WAN addresses
can be dynamically learned with the DHCP protocol. To enable DHCP on the
Remote Site profile, use the following command:
set vc <vc name> dynamic_ip_addressing dhcp_client
The ATM parameters are supplied by your service provider. These parameters
consist of:
ATM VC information
ATM Category of Service parameters
ATM allows for permanent connections (PVCs) and switched connections (SVCs).
For a PVC, the required VC information parameters consist of the Virtual Path
Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).
The VPI/VCI uniquely specify the path to the remote site and are placed in the ATM
cell header that is used to route each cell to the remote site.
Two VC profiles with the same VPI and VCI can not be enabled simultaneously.
You may encounter this situation if you want to login to the same remote site with
different PPP authentication parameters. You should disable all profiles using the
same VPI/VCI and then enable the one that should be active.
