Chapter 3 Service Configuration This chapter introduces how to configure the MT880. Note: The figures in the following configuration operations are only for your reference. 3.1 Configuration Method 3.1.1 Protocol Model Figure 3-1 shows the protocol model for the connection between the MT880 and the DSLAM at the office end.
The data between the MT880 and the DSLAM are transmitted in the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). To configure the MT880 for different services, you need to configure the Permanent Virtual Channel (PVC) and other parameters. 3.1.2 Steps The steps to configure the service modes are as follows. Step 1 To... Establish the configuration environment Do... See section 2.3 "Setting Up the Configuration Environment.
3.2 Service Modes of the MT880 The MT880 supports multiple service modes. To choose a proper service mode, you need to take the DSLAM settings into consideration. Table 3-1 lists the available service modes. Table 3-1 Service modes of the MT880 Service Mode Working Method z Bridge z z z PPPoE z z z PPPoA z Configuration Take the MT880 as bridge equipment. Use the PPP dial-up software of the computer to dial a number. Refer to 3.3 "Configuring the Pure Bridge Mode". Take the MT880 as a router.
Service Mode Working Method z z RFC2684B z z z RFC2684(IPoA) z Configuration Take the MT880 as a router. The MT880 obtains an IP address from DHCP server or uses the static public IP to access the Internet. Use the RFC2684B encapsulation mode to encapsulate the packets. Refer to 3.6 "Configuring the RFC2684B Mode". Take the MT880 as a router. The MT880 uses the static public IP address to access the Internet. Use the IPoA encapsulation mode to encapsulate the packets. Refer to 3.
