Configuring ATM
Information
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 remote site profiles with the same VPI and VCI cannot be active
simultaneously. You may encounter this situation if you want to log in 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.
For SVCs, there is not a fixed VPI / VCI. Instead, a destination address is
used to set up a path through the ATM backbone network when the
connection is to be established. Currently, the SVC capability is disabled in
the OfficeConnect Remote 840.
ATM Category of Service parameters specify characteristics (also referred
to as traffic shaping) of data transmitted from the OfficeConnect Remote
840 to the remote site. They have no effect on data transmitted from the
remote site to the OfficeConnect Remote 840.
