5 Basic Configuration
This chapter provides basic configuration instructions to get your
HM210dp/di run and have your network connected to the Internet.
The instructions assume that the HM210dp/di is not predefined with any
ATM VC, PPP or IpoA settings. For each connection method, example
parameters are given for your better understanding. You should consult
with your ISP to determine your connection mode and enter the actual
values provided by your ISP.
NOTE! Your HM210dp/di may already be pre-configured with the
necessary settings to get your network connected to the Internet.
Contact your ISP to determine whether you should change any
existing values.
5.1 Configuring the ATM Virtual Circuit
As your LAN computers access the Internet via the HM210dp/di, data is
exchanged with your ISP through a complex network of telephone
switches, Internet routers, servers, and other specialized hardware. These
various devices communicate using a common language, or protocol,
called Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). On the Wide Area Network
(WAN) that connects you to your IPS, the ATM protocol performs functions
like those that the Ethernet protocol performs on your LAN.
This section describes how to configure the ATM Virtual Circuit (VC). The
VC properties define the path the HM210dp/di uses to communicate with
your ISP over the ATM network.
5.1.1 Adding ATM VCs
You may need to create a VC if none has been predefined on your system
or if you use multiple services with your ISP. Each service may require its
own VC.
Follow these instructions to add an ATM VC Interface:
1. Select ATM > ATM VC to display the ATM VC Configuration page.
2. Click the Add button to display the ATM VC – Add page:
