Configuring the ATM VCC
As your LAN computers access the Internet via HSA300, 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
connection (VCC). The VCC properties define the path HSA300
uses to communicate with your ISP over the ATM network.
Viewing Your ATM VC Setup
To view your current configuration, log into Configuration Manager,
click the WAN tab, and then click
ATM VCC
in the task bar. The ATM
VCC Configuration page displays, as shown in Figure 41.
