About IPoA Connections (RFC 1577)
IP over ATM connections may require global IP settings for the device. Your service provider will give you IP
settings information if needed. Some IPoA connections function like peer-to-peer connections and therefore do
not require IP settings on the WAN interface.
Additional PVC Settings
If you are using multiple virtual connections it will be necessary to provide additional VPI and VCI values for
the device. These numbers define a unique route used on the ATM backbone of the larger telecommunications
network. Setting up these virtual connections must be coordinated with your ISP or telephone services provider.
Typically multiple PVCs are used to form private connections to remote private networks or used for public web
servers. Chapter 4 contains instruction on how to set up additional PVCs for accounts using more than one
virtual connection.
802.11b Wireless LAN Configuration
All the 802.11b wireless LAN settings are configured on a single page using the web-based manager. For basic
wireless communication you need to decide what channel to use and what SSID to assign. These two settings
must be the same for any wireless workstations or other wireless access point that communicate with the DSL-
604+ through the wireless interface.
Security for wireless communication can be accomplished using two methods. The DSL-604+ is supports WEP
encryption at the 64 bit (also called 40 bit) or 128 bit level. Wireless access can be controlled by selecting MAC
addresses that are allowed to associate with the device. Please read the section on Wireless Configuration in the
Web-based Management Guide (Chapter 4).
