D-Link DSL-504 [10/72] Atm asynchronous transfer mode

DSL-504 ADSL Router User’s Guide

Static Routing

This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will

remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific

route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific

destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or

outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).

Default Routing

This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the

destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router

functions as the sole connection to the Internet.

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)

The DSL-504 supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC1483), IP over ATM

(RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364). The Router can support up to eight

Virtual Circuit Connections (VCCs).

Precise ATM Traffic Shaping

Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This

function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.

G.hs (Auto-handshake)

This allows the Router to automatically choose either the G.lite or G.dmt ADSL

connection standards.

High Performance

Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8 Mbps

downstream bit rate using the G.dmt.

Full Network Management

The DSL-504 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

support for web-based management and text-based network management via an

RS-232 or Telnet connection.

Telnet Connection

The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s management

software remotely.

Easy Installation

The DSL-504 uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient

management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be

used to manage the Router.
