Table 4-2 lists the information to be collected before configuring the ADSL uplink mode.

Table 4-2 Parameter for the ATM PVC Configuration page

Parameter

Description

VPI/VCI

It specifies the VPI and VCI of the PVC. The value is set as 8/35 by

default.

The VPI and VCI of the PVC of the terminal should be consistent

with those of the PVC of the devices on operator networks so that

the connection between the terminal and the devices can be set up

through the PVC.

Service

It specifies the traffic management type used by the PVC.

Category

UBR Without PCR: It refers to an unspecified bit rate without a

peak cell rate. Since the transmission rate is not specified, the

ATM network tries its best to transmit UBR user information,

which is called the best effort. In this case, however, the

transmission quality cannot be ensured. For example, the cell

loss and the delay and jitter of cell transmission may occur. This

type is applicable when an end-to-end fault tolerance mechanism

or protocol exists at an upper layer and when no stringent

requirement is imposed on the network transmission capability.

UBR With PCR: It refers to an unspecified bit rate with a peak

cell rate.

CBR: It refers to a constant bit rate. Fixed requirements are

imposed on the bandwidth (rate). This type is applicable to

real-time transmission of audio and video signals.

Non Realtime VBR: It refers to a non-real-time variable bit rate.

No stringent requirement is imposed on the cell delay. For

example, when a user retrieves the MPEG-2 video from the

video server through the ATM network, seconds of network

delay does not affect the video quality. You should set

transmission rates, such as the PCR and the SCR, on the

network, thus reducing the cell loss rate.

Realtime VBR: It refers to a real-time variable bit rate. The cell

delay is restricted stringently. This type is mainly used for

real-time services, such as the video output by a variable rate

encoder, video monitoring, and compressed voice

communication.

Connection

type

It specifies the protocol used by the PVC. You should select the

protocol that meets the requirements of the DSLAM. The optional

protocols vary with the working mode of the PVC.

Encapsulation

Mode

It specifies the packet encapsulation mode. It is assigned by the

Internet Service Provider.

Enable 802.1q It specifies whether to enable the VLAN function.

6.5 Improving the Security of a WLAN

The signals of a WLAN are transmitted in the air. Therefore, unauthorized persons can

receive the wireless signals easily. If the wireless signals are not encrypted, unauthorized

persons may use your WLAN or obtain the data transmitted on the WLAN. To ensure the

security of the data transmitted on the WLAN, the terminal provides multiple

security-related settings for the WLAN function. You can change these settings as

required to protect your WLAN from unauthorized access.

6.5.1 Hiding the Name of a WLAN

Function Overview

When accessing a WLAN, the user of a wireless client needs to enter the correct name of

the WLAN, that is, the service set identifier (SSID) of the WLAN. Generally, the

wireless signals transmitted from a wireless terminal carries the SSID. The wireless

adapter of a PC can find and display the SSID for selection and confirmation. Thus,

manual operations for selecting and configuring the WLAN can be simplified. The

SSID, however, is not encrypted. Therefore, anyone can find the WLAN, and then view

the SSID, and the security of the WLAN is reduced.

The terminal provides the function of hiding the SSID. After this function is enabled, the

wireless signals transmitted from the terminal do not carry the SSID. Thus, it is not

possible for unauthorized people to obtain the SSID from the wireless signals. In

addition, the user of a PC needs to enter the correct SSID manually to add the PC to the

WLAN. Thus, the security of the WLAN is increased.

The terminal also provides the multi-SSID function. You can configure 4 SSIDs, and

then enable one or multiple of them.

Through the multi-SSID function, multiple virtual access points of a WLAN can be

established. For a wireless client, each virtual access point can be used as a physical access

point. In addition, each virtual access point has its SSID.

You can disable the SSIDs that are not required. After an SSID is disabled, a wireless

client cannot connect to the WLAN that is indicated by this SSID. Note that all the

external connection channels of a WLAN are closed if all the SSIDs of the WLAN are

disabled. To use the WLAN, you need to enable the WLAN function and at least one
