Atm Pvc - SMC Networks SMC7904WBRA-N User Manual

ATM PVC

To configure your Internet Connection settings, select ATM PVC, then
VC1. Click the VC to set the detailed parameters. The Barricade can
support up to 8 Virtual Circuits (VC's).
Multiple VC's, in general, are only used in the case of Triple Play
(Internet/Voice/Video) services. Example: VC1 = Internet,
VC2 = Voice, VC3 = Video. Unless stated by your ISP, you will use a single
VC. In this case "VC1"should be used.

Description
Click on the desired VC to configure the connection parameters.
Displays the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) configured for the corresponding VC.
Displays the Encapsulation configured for the corresponding
VC. Encapsulation specifies how to handle multiple protocols at
the ATM transport layer.
• VC-MUX: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Virtual
Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one
protocol running per virtual circuit with less overhead.
• LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link
Control (LLC) allows multiple protocols running over one
virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead).
Displays the Protocol configured for the corresponding VC.
