The modem provides an IEEE 801. 1D compliant SelfLearning Bridge and/or a PPP/PPTP architecture, depending on the model. ISP//Corporate Network Requiirements ISP Corporate Network Requ rements The ISP or corporate network administrator must provide you with the following information: · · VPI/VCI values for a virtual connection Protocol required to support the virtual connection BRIDGED CONNECTIONS BRIDGED CONNECTIONS Bridging is a standardized layer 2 technology. It is typically used in corporate networks to extend the physical reach of a single LAN segment, and increases the number of stations on the common LAN without compromising performance. One important characteristic of bridging is the number of bridge ports. The ADSL modem has four remote virtual ports on the ADSL interface and one local port (Ethernet) on the user interface. The ports on the ADSL interface are described as virtual because they are associated with the ATM virtual connections configured on the ADSL line. To establish a connection from any of the remote destinations to the bridge port, PVCs must be configured end-to-end through the network. The VPI/VCI values for Ethernet/bridging are listed in table G. Ethernet VPI/VCI Values Parameter VPI VCI Value 8 35, 43, 51, 59 Meaning Virtual Path Identifier Virtual Channel Identifier Other parameters for the Ethernet/bridging functionality are listed in table H.

PCs or workstations can use Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP), Sequenced Packet Exchange (SPX)/Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), AppleTalk, or any other protocol suite. This implies that any protocol currently being used for applications can be transported to remote destinations and vice versa. Any type of machine (PC, MAC, or Sun workstation) can be connected via Ethernet to the ADSL modem. Number of Machiines Suppor ted Number of Mach nes Suppor ted The bridge database can accommodate as many as 256 entries simultaneously. Assume a sample configuration with four remote ports and one local port (Ethernet interface): If all systems are evenly distributed over all the ports, you could connect about 50 systems per port to completely fill up the database (the upstream bandwidth is limited to 1 Mb/s). If only one virtual port is in use, the 256 entries can be divided over two ports (virtual, Ethernet port). Pllug and Pllay P ug and P ay The ADSL modem is a plug and play device; through the bridge learning mechanism, it discovers at which side of the bridge workstations are located. It prevents traffic submitted to the local printer from crossing the bridge. It allows frames belonging to transmissions with remote workstations to pass over the ADSL line. Both the local PCs and remote PCs must be configured properly for end-to-end connections. PC//Workstatiion Confiiguratiion PC Workstat on Conf gurat on For detailed information on how to configure the PC, contact the ISP or corporate network administrator. Depending on the network protocols being used (IP, IPX, AppleTalk, NetBEUI, etc. ), the PC configuration can include a wide range of parameters. The ADSL modem does not interfere with these higher layer protocols, as it is transparent to all of them. The TCP/IP family is used as a configuration example (procedures may equally apply to other protocol families). Every IP host must have a unique IP address, whether connected to a corporate network or the Internet. The ADSL modem is transparent to IP protocols; it allows PCs to operate with both fixed and/or dynamic IP addresses. [. . . ] Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment. Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas. CAUTIION:: CAUT ON Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
