7.4.2 Add a RFC 1483 Bridged WAN Connection
If you select RFC 1483 bridged as the WAN service type in the Create Service
screen, the following setup screen is displayed.

7.4.3 Add a MER (IPoEoA) WAN Connection
The MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER) is an encapsulation protocol that formats IP
packets so that they can be understood in a bridge network. For instance, it
encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells. MER requires
that you specify a gateway IP address. You can get this information from your ISP.

DESCRIPTION
Enter a short description for this WAN connection.
The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.
The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for
local management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-
down list box. Choices are:
•
LLC/SNAP: In LCC encapsulation, bridged PDUs are encapsulated
by identifying the type of the bridged media in the SNAP header.
•
VcMux: In VC multiplexing, each protocol is carried on a single
ATM virtual circuit (VC). To transport multiple protocols, the P-
794H needs separate VCs. There is a binding between a VC and the
type of the network protocol carried on the VC. This reduces
payload overhead since there is no need to carry protocol
information in each Protocol Data Unit (PDU) payload.
