General Application Notes

P-873HNUP-51B supports ADSL/VDSL bonding, user can use two DSL line to connect

to P-873HNUP-51B, and it would have double bandwidth for upstream.

We use P-873HNUP-51B as the sample for WEB GUI and configuration.

Why use P-873HNUP-51B?

 High Speed Internet Access

The P-873HNUP-51B is a VDSL\ADSL\Ethernet gateway supporting the

downstream transmission up to 1Gbps and upstream transmission up to

1Gbps.

 Quality of Service (QoS)

The P-873HNUP-51B with Quality of Service features ensures that the Triple

Play Service keeps the high quality delivery in high speed Internet access.

 PPP over Ethernet

 All PCs must have an Ethernet adapter card installed

2. TCP/IP Installation

You must first install the TCP/IP software on each PC before you can use it for the

Internet access. If you have already installed the TCP/IP, go to the next section to

configure it; otherwise, follow these steps to install:

 In the Control Panel/Network window, click Add button.  In the Select Network Component Type windows, select Protocol and click

Add.

 In the Select Network Protocol windows, select Microsoft from the

manufacturers, then select TCP/IP from the Network Protocols and click OK.

3. TCP/IP Configuration

Follow these steps to configure Windows TCP/IP:

 In the Control Panel/Network window, click the TCP/IP entry to select it and

click Properties button.

 In the TCP/IP Properties window, select obtain an IP address automatically.

Note: Do not assign the arbitrary IP address and subnet mask to your PCs; otherwise,

you will not be able to access the Internet.

DSL Bonding

DSL Bonding Introduction

 What is the DSL Bonding?

The basic theory behind bonding ADSL/VDSL lines is the idea that combining two

separate ADSL/VDSL connections to connect to one computer should double your

bandwidth and thus double your connection speeds. The solution currently being

utilized is to connect two ADSL/VDSL lines to one router. For this to work, you need a

specially designed router, such as the P-873HNUP-51B.

ADSL/VDSL Bonding takes two copper based lines per subscriber and aggregates

them to almost double the bandwidth speed available to the existing customers and

also expands high speed broadband access to areas that are underserved today.

Using ADSL/VDSL Bonding technology, service providers can extend the life of their

existing copper infrastructure supporting the delivery of bandwidth intensive

services such as Triple play service, data and IPTV. Pair bonding isn't just about speed

-- it's about reaching more customers at ever-greater distances.

IP Multicast

IP Multicast Introduction

 What is the IP Multicast?

Traditionally, the IP packets are transmitted in two ways: unicast or broadcast.

Multicast is a third way to deliver the IP packets to a group of hosts. Host groups are

identified by the class D IP addresses, i.e., those with "1110" as their higher-order

bits. In dotted decimal notation, host group addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to

239.255.255.255. Among them, 224.0.0.1 is assigned to the permanent IP hosts

group, and 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers group.

The IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support

multicast groups. The latest version is version 2 (See RFC2236). The IP hosts use the

IGMP to report their multicast group membership to any immediate-neighbor

multicast routers, so the multicast routers can decide if a multicast packet needs to

be forwarded. At the start-up, the Prestige queries all directly connect networks to

gather group membership.

After that, the CPE updates the information by periodic queries. The device

implementation of IGMP is also compatible with version 1. The multicast setting can

be turned on or off on the Ethernet and remote nodes.

P-873HNUP-51B Support Notes

5. At the IGMP Proxy State, edit the parameters of IGMP proxy.

P-873HNUP-51B Support Notes

Protocol Based Scenario

Environment

The Network structure of Central Office depends on the deployment of different

ISP (Internet Service Provider) in different environments in different countries. One

of the commonly known methods for separating different types of traffic is by

classifying their transmitting protocols. In the case of the aforementioned diagram,

the INTERNET traffic is encapsulated in the PPPoE and the IPTV traffic is encapsulated

in the IPoE. The COE (VDSL switch) has the ability to distinguish those 2 traffics and

assign the dedicated ACL rules to them. So, how should we configure the

P-873HNUP-51B to fit the aforementioned scenario? The following step-by-step

procedure instructs us the method.
