SIP User's Manual   3. Web-Based Management 
 
Multiple wire-pairs are bonded into a single broadband access link using G.991.2 multiple-
pair (also known as "m-pair") technology when the transmission control is ATM, or by 
802.3ah PMD Aggregation Function (PAF) when using Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM). 
¾  To configure the SHDSL WAN interface: 
1.  Obtain the connection information from your ISP, including the following data: 
•  Transmission control type (ATM or EFM) 
•  Line rate (automatic or specific range) 
•  Regional annex (A/F or B/G) 
•  Number of copper wire-pairs used and the order (i.e., one pair is the master, the 
others are slaves) 
•  VPI and VCI values 
•  IP encapsulation (PPPoE, PPPoA, ETHoA, IPoA) and variant (LLC-SNAP or VC 
multiplexing)  
•  ATM service class information (CBR/VBR/UBR and data rates) 
2.  Open the 'SHDSL Line Settings' page (Configuration  tab > Data  menu > WAN 
Access > SHDSL Line Settings). 
3.  Select ATM or EFM mode of operation. Note that any change to this setting erases all 
SHDSL configuration; after switching modes, save the configuration to flash and reset 
the device.
