Zero-Configuration and VC auto-hunting

Zero-Configure feature can help customer to reduce the burden of setting efforts. Whenever system ADSL links up system will send out some probing patterns, system will analyze the packets returned from ISP, and decide which services the ISP may provide. Because ADSL is based on a ATM network, so system have to pre-configured a VPI/VCI hunting pool before Auto-Configure function begins to work.

The Zero-Configuration feature can hunt the encapsulation and VPI/VCI value, and system will automatically configure itself if the hunting result is successfully. This feature has two constraints:

1. It supports the ISP provides one kind of service (PPPoE/PPPoA..etc.) only, otherwise the hunting will get confusing and failed.
2. VC auto-hunting only supports dynamic WAN IP address. If the router is set a static WAN IP address. VC auto-hunting function will be disabled.

The entry of hunting pool must also contain the VPI, VCI, and which kinds of hunting patterns you wish to send. Whenever system send out all the probing patterns with specific VPI/VCI, system will wait for 5~10 seconds and get the response from ISP, the response patterns will decide which kinds of ADSL services of the line will be. After that, system will save back the correct VPI, VCI and also services (encapsulation) type into profile of WAN interface.

Configure the VC auto-hunting preconfigured table.

1. Display auto-haunting preconfigured table by using CI command from menu 24.8:

wan atm vchunt disp

¡@

2. Add items to the auto-haunting preconfigured table by useing CI commands:

wan atm vchunt add <remoteNodeIndex> <vpi> <vci> <service bit(hex)>
wan atm vchunt save

Note: <remote node> : input the remote node index 1-8
<vpi> : vpi value
<vci> : vci value
<service>: it¡¦s a hex value, bit0:PPPoE/VC (1), bit1:PPPoE/LLC (2) , bit2:PPPoA/VC (4), bit3:PPPoA/LLC (8), bit4:Enet/VC (16), bit5 :Enet/LLC (32)
For examples:
If you need service PPPoE/LLC and Enet/LLC then the service bits will be 2+32 = 34 (decimal) = 22 (hex), you must input 22
If you want to enable all service for VC hunting, the service bits will be 1+2+4+8+16+32=63(decimal)= 3f (hex), you must input 3f

Need to perform save after this command.

3. Delete items from the auto-haunting preconfigured table by useing CI command:

wan atm vchunt remove <remote node> <vpi> <vci>

4. The usage command argument is listed below suggest to use 3f which include all PPP possiblities.

|  |  | Remove <removeNodeId> <vpi> <vci> | Input remote node ID and vpi, vci value to remove the specific entry. System will save automatically.
|  |  | Active <yes|no> | Enable VC auto hunting featurer

|  |  | Clear | Clear the configure buffer
|  |  | Save | Save current setting into ROM file
|  |  | timer | The waiting time before checking the hunting table result
|  |  | Send | Send VC hunt pattern again
|  |  | result | Check the result of VC auto hunting

Using Zero configuration.
1. After configure the auto-haunting preconfigured table. You just need a PC connected to the device LAN Ethernet port with the DSL sync up.
2. Open your web browser to access a Web site. It should prompt and request for your username password of your ISP account, if your ISP provide PPPoE or PPPoA service.
3. After key-in the correct info, it will than test the connection. If it is successful it will than close the browser and you can open a new browser to surf the Internet. If the connection test fail, it will go back to the page ask for user name and password.
The user name or password are incorrect. You need to keyin again to retry.
Basically the zero configuration only work on the VC that was preconigured in the auto-haunting preconfigured table.
