(layer2 interface) over ATM interface or ETH interface.
¾ ATM Interface: Configure the modem router to access Internet as an ADSL user. ISP
provides you VPI (Virtual Path Identifier), VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) settings and the DSL
Interface with RJ11 connector. (Figure 2-1)
¾ ETH Interface: Configure the modem router to access Internet as an Ethernet user. ISP
provides you Broadband Internet Service and the Ethernet Interface with RJ45 connector.

required by your ISP.
¾ DSL Link Type: Select a DSL Link Type which is provided by your ISP. The options include
EoA (it is for PPPoE, IPoE, and Bridge), PPPoA (PPP over ATM) and IPoA (IP over ATM).
¾ Encapsulation Mode: The mode of the data processing over the Link Type you have

Enabling packet level QoS for PVC improves performance for selected classes of applications.
While QoS consumes system resources; therefore the number of PVC(s) will be reduced. Besides
this, it cannot be set for the connection type of CBR and Real-time VBR. If you select the QoS
service, the Quality of Service menu will be added to the Web-based Utility, the detailed
configuration will be described in 4.4.8 Quality of Service.
4.4.1.2 ETH interface
Choose “Advanced Setup”Æ“Layer2 InterfaceÆETH Interface”, you can configure ETH WAN
interfaces on the screen below.

Choose “Advanced Setup”Æ“WAN Service”, and you will see the WAN Port Information Table in
the screen similar to Figure 4-7, which describes the WAN port settings and the relevant
manipulation to each interface. After you add a new Lay2 Interface, please follow the instructions

configurations for the connection types, which are PPPoE, IPoE, Bridge, PPPoA, and IPoA. You
can select the corresponding types according to your needs.

The following section adopts different VPI, VCI to introduce further configuration for the different
connection types, if you need to change the configuration of ATM PVC (VPI/VCI), you should go to
the previous section (4.4.1
