12 Configuring the ATM VCC
As your LAN computers access the Internet via the VisionNet
202ER, data is exchanged with your ISP through a complex
network of telephone switches, Internet routers, servers, and other
specialized hardware. These various devices communicate using a
common language, or protocol, called Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM). On the Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects you
to your ISP, the ATM protocol performs functions like those that the
Ethernet protocol performs on your LAN.
This chapter describes how to configure the ATM virtual channel
(VC). The VC properties define the path the VisionNet 202ER uses
to communicate with your ISP over the ATM network.
Viewing Your ATM VC Setup
To view your current configuration, launch Configuration Manager,
the WAN tab, and then click
ATM VC in the task bar. The ATM VC
Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 36.
