Table 5-31. Mode Selection and Current IP Settings Menu Items
Option Description Function
1 IP Feed This option provides 3 choices for the selection of IP
Feed type:
• RFC1483 Routed Encapsulation
• IP over Ethernet
• RFC1483 Bridged Encapsulation
The VPI and VCI of the ATM circuit must be assigned by
configuring the IP settings.
2 Mode This option is used to select either Static or Dynamic.
• In Static Mode, the IP address, Subnet mask, and
Default Gateway are configured manually for
inband management of the device.
• In Dynamic Mode, the Total Access 1248 acts as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client
and a DHCP server is required upstream from the
device to configure the IP settings.
When a DHCP server is properly configured, the
Total Access 1248 system obtains the IP address,
Subnet mask, and Default Gateway from the server
and applies these settings to the device.
3 Configure IP Depending on the setting of the IP Feed and Mode
options, the Configure IP option displays one of the
following menus:
• “Static IP Settings - for IP over ATM Menu” on
page 5-54
• “Dynamic IP Settings - for IP over ATM Menu” on
page 5-57
• “Static IP Settings - for IP over Ethernet Menu” on
page 5-60.
• “Dynamic IP Settings - for IP over Ethernet Menu”
on page 5-63.
