[. . . ] LLC: Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols running over one virtual circuit (using slightly more overhead). PCR/SCR/MBS QoS Parameters - PCR (Peak Cell Rate), SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate) and MBS (Maximum Burst Size) are configurable. ISP IP Address If your IP address is assigned by the ISP each time you connect, leave this field all zeros. Otherwise, enter your ISP supplied static IP address here. Subnet Mask If your subnet mask is assigned by the ISP each time you connect, leave this field all zeros. Connect Type Idle Time (minutes) Sets connection mode to always connected, automatic or manual connection. Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) at the default value (1500) unless you have a particular reason to change it. Username Password Confirm Password MTU Clone MAC Address Clicking on the Clone MAC Address brings up the following screen. 35 Some ISPs may require that you register your MAC address with them. If this is the case, the MAC address of the Belgacom b-box must be changed manually to the MAC address that you have registered with your ISP. LAN Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic client address allocation. 36 Parameter Description LAN IP IP Address The IP address of the Belgacom b-box. DHCP Server To dynamically assign an IP address to client PCs, enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server. Lease Time Set the DHCP lease time. Parameter Description IP Address Pool Start IP 37 End IP Domain Name Specify the start IP address of the DHCP pool. Do not include the gateway address of the Belgacom b-box in the client address pool. If you attempt to include the Belgacom b-box gateway address (192. 168. 1. 1 by default) in the DHCP pool, an error dialog box will appear. If you change the pool range, make sure the first three octets match the gateway's IP address, i. e. , 192. 168. 1. xxx. (See "TCP/IP Configuration" on page 3-2 for details. ) Wireless The Belgacom b-box also operates as a wireless access point, allowing wireless computers to communicate with each other. To configure this function, you need to enable the wireless function, define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and the security options. Wireless Settings Check Enable and click "SAVE SETTINGS. " Channel and SSID You must specify an Service Set ID (SSID) and a common radio channel to be used by the Belgacom b-box and all of its wireless clients. The SSID is case-sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric 38 characters. Functioning as an access point, the Gateway can be configured for roaming clients by setting the SSID and wireless channel. See the description of the parameters below. The SSID must be the same on the Belgacom b-box and all of its wireless clients. Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. (Default: WLAN) SSID Broadcast Enable or disable the broadcasting of the SSID. Enable SSID broadcasting on the wireless network for easy connection with client PCs. (Default: Enable) Wireless Mode This device supports both 11g and 11b wireless networks. Make your selection depending on the type of wireless network that you have. [. . . ] End Station A workstation, server, or other device that does not forward traffic. Ethernet A network communication system developed and standardized by DEC, Intel, and Xerox, using baseband transmission, CSMA/CD access, logical bus topology, and coaxial cable. The successor IEEE 802. 3 standard provides for integration into the OSI model and extends the physical layer and media with repeaters and implementations that operate on fiber, thin coax and twisted-pair cable. Fast Ethernet 86 A 100 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the CSMA/CD access method. Full Duplex Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link. IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. IEEE 802. 3 Defines carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access method and physical layer specifications. IEEE 802. 3ab Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet. IEEE 802. 3u Defines CSMA/CD access method and physical layer specifications for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. [. . . ]
