5GHz Enables or disables the 5GHZ wireless function.

2.4GHz Enables or disables the 5GHZ wireless function.

External Buttons

Smart RG gateways provide push-button controls on the exterior for critical features. These buttons provide a convenient way to toggle the Wi-Fi radio on and off or reset the gateway. These controls are described below.

2.4GHz and 5GHz Buttons

Note: On early production units of the SR516ac gateway, these buttons are labeled WiFi (instead of 2.4 GHz) and WPS (instead of

5 GHz).

These buttons are located on the left side of the gateway and control the Wi-Fi radio functions.

To turn a wireless radio on or off, press the related button briefly (1-2 seconds). For example, to turn the 2.4 GHz radio on or off, press the 2.4GHz button for 1-2 seconds.

To enable WPS, press the related button and hold it for 4-6 seconds.

Reset Button

The Reset button is a small hole in the back of the gateway with the actual button mounted beneath the surface. This style of push-button prevents the gateway from being inadvertently reset during handling.

Warning: Do not press the Reset button unless you are sure that you want to clear the current settings.

To reset your gateway, use a fine wire (such as a paper clip) to press the button for 7-10 seconds and release. The factory default settings are restored.

Installing your SR516ac Gateway

1. Connect one end of the included phone cable to the DSL port on the gateway and connect the other end to the wall jack.

2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port of the gateway and connect the other end to your PC.

3. Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end of it to the Power port of the gateway.

4. Turn on the unit by pressing the On/Off button on the left side of the gateway.

Your gateway is now automatically being set up to connect to the Internet. This process may take a few minutes to complete before you can begin using your Internet applications (browser, email, etc.).

cell packets to reach its destination. A unique VPI number is required for each ATM path. This setting works with the VCI. Each individual DSL circuit must have a unique VPI/VCI combination. Options are 0-255. The default is zero (0).

VCI Enter a Virtual Channel Identifier. A VCI is a 16-bit identifier for a unique channel. Options are 32-65535.

The default is 35.

Note: 1-31 are reserved for known protocols.

Field Name Description

Select DSL Latency Select the level of DSL latency. Options are:

l Path0 (Fast): No error correction and can provide lower latency on error-free lines. This is the

default.

l Path1 (Interleaved): Error checking that provides error-free data which increases latency.

Select DSL Link Type

Select the linking protocol. Options are:

l EoA: Ethernet over ATM, used for PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge. This is the default. l PPPoA: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. l IPoA: Internet Protocol over ATM.

Encapsulation Mode Select whether multiple protocols or only one protocol is carried per PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit).

Options are:

l LLC/ENCAPSULATION: (Available for PPPoA only) Logical Link Control (LLC) encapsulation protocols

used with multiple PVCs

l LLC/SNAP-BRIDGING: (Available for EoA only) Logical Link Control used to carry multiple protocols

in a single PVC.

l LLC/SNAP-ROUTING: (Available for IPoA only) LLC used to carry one protocol per PVC. l VC/MUX: Virtual Circuit/Multiplexer creates a virtual connection used to carry one protocol per

PVC.

Service Category Select the bit rate protocol. Options are:

l UBR without PCR: Unspecified Bit Rate with no Peak Cell Rate, flow control or time synchronization

between the traffic source and destination. Commonly used with applications that can tolerate data / packet loss.

l UBR with PCR: Same as above but with a Peak Cell Rate. l CBR: Constant Bit Rate relies on timing synchronization to make the network traffic predictable.

Used commonly in Video and Audio traffic network applications.

l Non Realtime VBR: Non Realtime Variable Bit Rate used for connections that transport traffic at a

variable rate. This category requires a guaranteed bandwidth and latency. It does not rely on timing synchronization between the destination and source.

l Realtime VBR: Realtime Variable Bit Rate. Same as the above option but relies on timing and syn-

chronization between the destination and source. This category is commonly used in networks with compressed video traffic.

Select Scheduler for Queues of Equal Precedence as the Default Queue

Select the algorithm used to schedule queue behavior. VC scheduling is different than scheduling done for default queues. Options are:

l Round Robin (weight=1): Packets are accessed in a round robin style. Classes can be assigned.

Time slices are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive). This is the default.

l Weighted Fair Queuing: Packets are assigned in a specific queue. This data packet scheduling

technique allows different scheduling priorities to be assigned to statistically multiplexed data flows. Since each data flow has its own queue, an ill-behaved flow (that sent larger packets or

Field Name Description

more packets per second than the others since it became active) will only affect itself and not other sessions.

Default Queue

Enter the default weight of the specified queue. Options are 1-63. The default is 1.

Weight

Default Queue Precedence

Enter the precedence of the specified group. The lower the value, the higher the priority. Options are 1-
