Multiple Virtual Connections
The Router supports multiple virtual connections. Up to eight PVCs to eight separate destinations
can be created and operated simultaneously utilizing the same bandwidth. Additional PVC
connections can be added for various purposes. For example, you may want to establish a private
connection to remote office in order to create an extended LAN, or setup a server on a separate
connection. Provisioning for additional PVC profiles must be done through your telecommunications
services provider. Extended LAN operations employing multiple virtual connections require ADSL
routers or modems at the remote site for a successful connection. Contact your ISP or
telecommunications service provider if you are interested in setting up multiple virtual connections.
After the necessary arrangements have been made to use the Router with multiple virtual
connections, follow the instructions below to setup the Router using the VPI/VCI settings given to
you by your server provider.
Configure Multiple PVCs
Additional PVCs can be configured by first accessing the WAN configuration menu in the Home
directory.
Select new PVC to configure in the WAN menu
The PVC pull-down menu offers 8 virtual connections available for configuration. The default VC
used by the Router is labeled Pvc0. Any additional connections that are configured must have a
VPI/VCI combination that is unique to the Router. These numbers will have been already been
established by your service provider on their network.
To add a new virtual connection:
1. Select the new PVC to configure from the pull-down menu.
2. Enter the values for the VPI and VCI given to you by your service provider.
3. To activate the VC, select Enabled from the Virtual Circuit pull-down menu.
4. Configure the WAN Settings and Connection Type as desired.
