Efficient Networks 5900 SHDSL Business Gateways: Installation
Efficient Networks 5950 gateways install very quickly with supplied software and cabling. Below are a few of the
important provider and computing environment settings to be used.
5950 Computer and Network Service Provider (NSP) Requirements
o CD-ROM or DVD drive.
o Ethernet network interface card.
o TCP/IP network protocol installed.
o Web browser—needed for most configuration functions.
o RS-232 (serial) COM port--needed only for detailed configuration of elements not accessible
through the Web interface.
o Terminal emulation software if you want to configure your router via your computer’s serial port
before placing it into service on a network.
The network service provider (NSP) provides information on the protocol to be used by the connection,
including:
o DNS address
o One or more LAN IP addresses and a subnet mask
o Protocol to use. Should be one of the following:
– PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol), with a user name and password
– PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)
– RFC 1483 (SNAP Encapsulation)
– RFC 1483 MER (MAC Encapsulated Routing, requiring a WAN gateway address)
– VCI (PVC) numbers
o Network options:
– Bridging
– IP Routing (requires a WAN IP address and subnet mask)
5950 Configuration Defaults: VPI/VCI
As for the 5800 routers, the Efficient 5950 SHDSL Business Gateways uses two service-specific numbers called
VPI and VCI to determine the paths used for communication between the 5950 and the NSP. 5950s are pre-
configured with VPI/VCI numbers according to the region in which they are deployed.
If the gateway isn’t already configured, of if it’s configured for a different NSP, it will be necessary to obtain these
numbers from the NSP and then configure the 5950 to match. In addition, when connecting to multiple remote sites,
additional VPI/VCI numbers are needed from the relevant NSPs. VPI/VCI numbers must be unique for each remote.
Changes to VPI/VCI settings can be made through Efficient’s Easy Setup, which is accessible through a standard
Web browser.
5950 Configuration Defaults: Encapsulation
A variety of encapsulation methods are available in the 5950. The encapsulation setting must match that of the NSP.
Efficient Networks Business Gateways are generally pre-configured for specific services, but it’s easy to modify the
setting if a change is necessary. Encapsulation can be changed through Easy Setup.
