3.4.1 Operation mode and MGMT
Click CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) side or CO (Central Office) side to setup the operation mode. When
connection with LRE DSLAM, the SHDSL.bis LRE modem’s working mode is CPE. When “LAN to LAN” connection, one
side must be CO and the other side must be CPE.
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Host Name: SOHO
Some of the ISP requires the Host Name as identification. You may check with ISP to see if your Internet service has
been configured with a host name. In most cases, this field can be ignored.
And then, click Trigger DHCP service is Disable or Server. If you don’t need the DHCP service, please click Disable.
- 15 -
3.4.2 DHCP server
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that lets network administrators to manage
centrally and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Using the
Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs a unique IP address. When an organization sets
up its computer users with a connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another location in
another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator to supervise and
distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into
a different place in the network.
The embedded DHCP server assigns network configuration information at most 253 users accessing the Internet in the
same time.
For example: If the LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, the IP range of LAN is 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. The DHCP
server assigns the IP form Start IP Address to End IP Address. The legal IP address range is form 0 to 255, but 0 are
reserved as network name and 255 are reserved for broadcast. It implies the legal IP address range is from 1 to 254.
That means you cannot assign an IP greater than 254 or less than 1.
Lease time 72 hours indicates that the DHCP server will reassign IP information in every 72 hours.
The default value is 72 hours .You can set up from 1 to 720 hours according to your application.
- 16 -
Moreover, you may assign a fixed IP address to some device while using DHCP, you have to put this device’s MAC
address in the Table of Fixed DHCP Host Entries.
3.4.3 LAN
If you select Disable and Dynamic IP, can’t need input all IP address etc.
If you select Static IP, you can enter the following: IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS Server’s IP.
You must type the dotted decimal notation for DNS Server’s IP address
- 17 -
3.4.4 Review
The screen will prompt the new configured parameters. Checking the parameters and Click Restart The LRE modem
will reboot and working with new parameters or press or Continue to configure another parameters.
- 18 -
3.5 Advanced Setup
Note: The advanced functions are only for advanced users to setup advanced functions. The incorrect setting of
advanced function will affect the performance or system error, even disconnection.
In “ADVANCED” section, users are allowed to change settings by different areas: SHDSL.bis LRE, QoS, Rate Limiting,
VLAN, and Flow Control.
You can setup the Link (number of wires), Annex type, TCPAM type, Main Rate, Main Rate, Line Probe, SNR
margin, Threshold SNR Margin, PBO Mode and PBO Offset for SHDSL.bis LRE parameters.
- 19 -
3.5.1.1 Link Type

For example, 8-wire model can select 2-wire, 4-wire or 8-wire line type.
There are two Annex types: Annex AF and Annex BG in SHDSL.bis . Check with your ISP about it.
The default option is Auto. You may assign the different type manually as the following options.
1. Auto(16/32)
2. TCPAM-16
3. TCPAM-32
4. TCPAM-64
5. TCPAM-128
6. Optimal
- 20 -
3.5.1.4 Main Rate
You can setup the SHDSL.bis main rate is in the multiple of 64kbps , 128kpbs or 256 kpbs according using which model.
For adaptive mode, you can setup the Line Prodbe is Enable. The LRE modem will adapt the data rate according to the
line status. Otherwise, setup to Disbale.
The screen will prompt the parameters that will be written in NVRAM. Check the parameters before writing in
NVRAM. Press Restart to restart the LRE modem working with new parameters or press continue to setup another
SNR margin is an index of line connection quality. You can see the actual SNR margin in STATUS SHDSL.bis. The larger is
SNR margin; the better is line connection quality.
For example, if you set SNR margin in the field as 5, the SHDSL.bis connection will drop and reconnect when the SNR
margin is lower than 5. On the other hand, the device will reduce the line rate and reconnect for better line connection
quality.
The range of SNR margin setting are -10 to 21.
- 21 -
3.5.1.7 Threshold SNR Margin
This section allows you to monitorthe quality of DSL. If current SNR margin is less than the Threshold SNR margin, a
Threshold Close Alarm (TCA) will be sent to SNMP Trap server to notify SNR margin is too low. The TCA can also be
saved in system log.
PBO Mode allows you to set up Power Back-off and select from Normal or Force.
PBO_NORMAL: The power backoff values are requested by each device. The value in the capability list sent to the far
end is determined as maximum of the value depending on estimated power loss (EPL) and the value entered in the
capability list. The transmit power backoff of the local transceiver is the value found in the mode select.
- 22 -
3.5.1.9 PBO Offset
PBO Offset takes effect only in case of EPL (Estimated Power Loss) mode is enabled. The power backoff as function of
EPL is implemented according to the "Default Power Backoff" in table 6-2 of G.991.2
3.5.2 QoS
QoS(Quality of Service) refers to both a network’s ability to deliver data with minimum delay, and the networking
methods used to control the use of bandwidth. Without QoS, all traffic date is equally likely to be dropped when the
network is congested. This can cause a reduction in network performance and mark the network inadequate for
time-critical application such as video-on-demand.
- 23 -
QoS (Quality of Service) is to decide which PCs can get the priorities to pass though LRE modem once if the bandwidth
is exhausted or fully saturated.
The priority modes have three types: Port Based Priority, VLAN Tag Priority and IP DSCP Priority. You can also set
Disable the QoS function.
- 24 -
3.5.2.1 Port Based Priority
When you click Port Based Priority, it will show the following:
1. Scheduling Configuration
This modem provides three combinations of four commonly used techniques, type1, type 2 and type 3. Choose
which combination you would like to apply and fill up the corresponding information.
- 25 -
WRR (Weighted Round Robin): All received packets will be stored into queue 1, queue 2, queue 3, and queue 4.
Users will assign a weighting for each queue. Then, WRR will re-pack all packets from four queues based on the
weightings.
New Packet
For example, as showed in the above image, the weightings of each queue are 4, 2, 5, and 1. When the device
starts to process all packets in these queues with WRR algorithm, a new packet will look like the packet showed on
the right hand side. Then, the device sends out the new packets.
WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing): WFQ is a generalization of processor sharing, which allows several sessions share the
same link.
- 26 -
LAN 1 20, LAN 2 15, LAN 3…
Users assign data size of each queue can be accepted by each port in “WFQ Configuration” section.
BE (Best Effort): Best Effort QoS is mainly used for data which has lower priority or can be delay. No traffic priority
will be given in BE algorithm. Hence, this algorithm is not suitable for data that has higher priority, such as, video or
voice data.
SP (Strictly Priority): Strictly Priority Algorithm simply follows priorities only. This means the algorithm transmits
the highest priority queue first, then, the next highest priority queue, and so on. However, if there are always
some content in the highest priority queue, then the other packets in the rest of queues will not be sent until the
highest priority queue is empty. This algorithm is preferred when the received packets contain some high priority
data, such as, voice and video.
- 27 -
- 28 -
2. WRR Configuration
If the user chooses “Type 1” in “Scheduling Configuration” section, then the information in “WRR Configuration”
section is required to be filled in. Users are able to assign from 1 to 15 for the value of a weight for each queue.
3. WFQ Configuration
If users choose to apply “Type 2” or “Type 3” as the QoS algorithm, users should assign the bandwidth for each
queue in each port.
Example:
- 29 -
If we choose “Type 3”, then we know our queues will apply BE, WFQ, WFQ, and SP techniques. Then, we assign
which port should go to which queue.
Then, we can know the corresponding algorithm for each port as the table above.
When you click VLAN Tag Priority, it will show the following:
VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has an
802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this modem), these tagged frames can carry VLAN membership
information.
- 30 -
IEEE 802.1Q Tagged Frame for Ethernet:
3
User priority is giving eight ( 2 = 8 ) priority levels. The default value is 0, indicating normal treatment.
1. Scheduling Configuration:
Choose which algorithm combination you would like to apply.
- 31 -
2. WRR Configuration:
If you would like to apply WRR as the QoS algorithm for your LRE modem, then, please assign the weight for each
queue. “Weight” means how important the queue is; therefore, 15 is the most important queue and 0 is the
least important queue. Hence, in the image below, we know queue 3 is the most important queue among all.
3. WFQ Configuration:
Same as other priority style, assign a bandwidth for a queue in one port in this section if WFQ algorithm is chose.
Example:
- 32 -
Priority 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Queue 0 0 2 2 3 3 1 1
Hence, we know…
1. Packets with priority 0 and priority 1 go to Queue 0.
2. Packets with priority 2 and priority 3 go to Queue 2.
3. Packets with priority 4 and priority 5 go to Queue 3.
4. Packets with priority 6 and priority 7 go to Queue 1.
5. When, data flow traffic is jammed…
Queue 1 Packets will go first because weight is equal to 15 (the biggest value).
Queue 3 Packets will go next because the weight is the second largest value.
Queue 2 Packets are the next after Queue 3 Packets.
Queue 0 Packets are the last one to send.
IP DSCP: DSCP stands for “Differentiated Services Code Point”, which is the 6-bit field in the header of IP packets,
and it is for packet classification purposes. Hence, this algorithm is based on IP DSCP fields in the IP header.
Therefore, there are 64 levels of priority degrees. (0 to 63)
- 33 -
1. Scheduling Configuration:
Choose which combination you would like to apply: “Type 1”, “Type 2”, or “Type 3”.
2. WRR Configuration:
If you choose to apply WRR technique, fill up weights to indicate how important the queue is. (Weight: 0 to 15)
3. WFQ Configuration:
If WFQ is applied, fill up the bandwidth for a queue in a port.
4. IP DSCP Priority:
- 34 -
In “IP DSCP Priority” section, you can decide which queue a DSCP level should go to.
Example:
WFQ Configuration
Port Queue
0 1 2 3
LAN 1 5 10
LAN 2 5 0
LAN 3 0 10
LAN 4 0 0
DSL 5 0
Since we choose “Type 3”, Queue 0 and Queue 3 do not apply WFQ algorithm. Hence, we only need to setup WFQ
configurations for Queue 1 and Queue 2.
Assume…
1. Assign DSCP 1 to Queue 0.
- 35 -
2. Assign DSCP 14 to Queue 1.
3. Assign DSCP 34 to Queue 2.
4. Assign DSCP 55 to Queue 3.
Now we check LAN 1 only, and you will see the following results.
- 36 -
3.5.3 Rate Limiting
Limiting bandwidth to specific users and ports helps control network congestion, ensure high performance, create
efficient networks, and prevent a small number of users from monopolizing network bandwidth.
Rate limiting control can be used to intelligently manage bandwidth allocation in the networking. It can prevent one
user or device from dominating the available network bandwidth, and it allows IT managers to allocate greater
bandwidth to the departments and applications that need it.
You can setup the date rates limit on each port from 0 to 22. (00 means No limit, the Ingress Rate x 1024kbps is the
limit rate of their ports. The default setting is No limit on each ports.)
3.5.4 VLAN
- 37 -
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical networks. Devices
on a logical network belong to one group. A device can belong to more than one group. With VLAN, a device cannot
directly talk to or hear from devices that are not in the same group.
With MTU (Multi-Tenant Unit) applications, VLAN is vital in providing isolation and security among the subscribers.
When properly configured, VLAN prevents one subscriber from accessing the network resources of another on the
same LAN.
VLAN also increases network performance by limiting broadcasts to a smaller and more manageable logical broadcast
domain. In traditional switched environments, all broadcast packets go to each every individual port. With VLAN, all
broadcasts are confined to a specific broadcast domain.
For VLAN Configuration, users are able to choose the following options:
3. Tag-based VLAN: to assign a VID and group ports with their modes (access or trunk).
- 38 -
3.5.4.1 Port-Based VLAN
Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its
associated port.
When using the port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user or system attached
to the port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the same VLAN. The network
administrator typically performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration is static and cannot be automatically
changed to another VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
As with other VLAN approaches, the packets forwarded using this method do not leak into other VLAN domains on the
network. After a port has been assigned to a VLAN, the port cannot send to or receive from devices in another VLAN.
- 39 -
want to include the port.
Access: allows all packets passing through the port interface
Tunnel: check the VLAN ID of all packets with VID assigned.
S-VLAN Tunnel:
TPID: Tag Protocol Identifier, a 16-bit field set to a value of 0x8100 (the typical value) for
identifying the frame as an IEEE 802.1Q-tagged frame.
VID: VLAN ID.
EXAMPLE:
From the image, you can conclude the information showed as above table.
We know there are three rules created.
(1) Group ID = 1
This group is allowed to manage the LRE modem. LAN1, LAN2 and DSL are in this group. Only LAN2 (in
“Tunnel” mode) will check the VLAN ID of incoming packets. The VLAN ID should be equal to 10 and its TPID
should be “0x8100”.
(2) Group ID = 2
This group is allowed to manage the LRE modem. LAN3 and LAN4 are in this group. This rule will not check
any VLAN ID from any group member (both ports are “Access”).
- 40 -
(3) Group ID = 3
This group is not allowed to manage the LRE modem. LAN1, LAN2, LAN4 and DSL are in this group. Only
packets with VLAN ID = 10 and TPID = 0x8100 can access LAN2; otherwise, packets which do not meet this
requirement will be dropped.
- 41 -
EXAMPLE:
“VID” is basically for grouping port interfaces. This means only group members can access the other group members.
For example, there is a VID group with LAN1, LAN3 and DSL. This means packets come from DSL can only access to
LAN1 and LAN3. Others cannot access to these group members.
“PVID” is for the LRE modem to check target packets, such as an ingress packet or an egress packet, for their validity.
In 802.1q, the VLAN information is written into the Ethernet packet itself. Each packet carries a VLAN ID (Virtual LAN
ID), called a tag. This allows VLANs to be configured across multiple switches. Note that it’s possible for VLAN tags to
be stripped by H/W and/or S/W.
When using 802.1q, four bytes are added to the Ethernet frame, of which 12 bits are used for the VLAN ID.
Theoretically, there can be up to 4096 VLANs per network.
An Ethernet packet that contains a VLAN ID is called a tagged packet. Conversely, an Ethernet packet with no VLAN ID
is called an untagged packet. Typically all packets leave untagged, unless tagged by the adapter prior to arriving at the
switch port.
- 42 -
A VID defines the member of a port group. A packet can only travel inside a member port when the member port is
part of a VID port group. Different VID groups aren’t visible to one another
VID: (Virtual LAN ID) It is an definite number of ID which number is from 1 to 4094.
PVID: (Port VID) It is an untagged member from 1 to 4094 of default VLAN.
Link Type:
1. Access means the port can receive or send untagged packets.
2. Trunk means that the prot can receive or send tagged packets.
TCI (Tag Control Information field) including user priority, Canonical format indicator(CFI) and VLAN ID.
TPID(Tag Protocol Identifier) defined value of 8100 in hex. When a frame has the EtherType equal to 8100H, this frame
carries the tag IEEE 802.1Q / 802.1P.
3
Priority field defines user priority, giving eight (2 = 8) priority levels. IEEE 802.1P defines the operation for these 3
user priority bits.(Refer to following table)
CFI(Canonical Format Indicator) is always set to zero for Ethernet switches. CFI is used for compatibility reason
between Ethernet type network and Token Ring type network. If a frame received at an Ethernet port has a CFI set to
1, then that frame should not be forwarded as it is to an untagged port.
VID (VLAN ID) is the identification of the VLAN, which is basically used by the standard 802.1Q. It has 12 bits and allow
12
the identification of 4096 (2 ) VLANs. Of the 4096 possible VIDs, a VID of 0 is used to identify priority frames and
value 4095 (FFF) is reserved, so the maximum possible VLAN configurations are 4,094.
The LRE modem initially default configures one VLAN, VID=1.
A port such as LAN1 to 4, DSL or sniffing can have only one PVID, but can have as many VID as the LRE modem has
memory in its VLAN table to store them.
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domin thus increase network
performance through reduced boardcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding, moving or
changing ports without any re-cabling.
- 43 -
Before enabling VLANs for the LRE modem, you must first assign each port to the VLAN group(s) in which it will
participate. By default all ports are assigned to VLAN1 as untagged ports. Add a port as a tagged port if you want it to
carry traffic for one or more VLANs, and any intermediate network devices or the host at the other end of the
connection supports VLANs. Then assign ports on the other VLAN-aware network devices along the path that will carry
this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either manually or dynamically using GVRP. However, if you want a port on this LRE
modem to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network devices nor the host at the other
end of the connection supports VLANs, then you should add this port to the VLAN as an untagged port.
VLAN Classification – When the LRE modem receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the frame is
untagged, the LRE modem assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on the default VLAN ID of the receiving
port). But if the frame is tagged, the LRE modem uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify the port broadcast domain of the
frame.
Port Overlapping – Port overlapping can be used to allow access to commonly shared network resources among
different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers.
Untagged VLANs – Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to increase security. A
group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on
- 44 -
the LRE modem. Packets are forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged VLANs
can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.
Link Type - Sets the port to accept the frame types: “Access” means the port can only receive or send untagged frame
types. “Trunk” means that the prot can only receive or send tagged frame types.
Hybrid ports carry both untagged and 802.1Q tagged packets. Hybrid ports are equivalent to trunk ports, with a limited
amount of allowed VLANs and native VLANs.Hybrid ports carry the traffic of one or more VLANs. Any router port can
be configured as a hybrid port.
In 56xxN, all router ports by default come up in hybrid mode. Users need to explicitly add the hybrid ports to all the
required VLANs as either tagged or untagged interfaces. A hybrid port could be configured simultaneously as a tagged
port on one or more VLANs and as an untagged port on any one VLAN. Similar to access ports, hybrid ports may be an
untagged port on only one VLAN, but may be a tagged port on many VLANs.
Users need to configure the PVID for hybrid ports to correctly handle the incoming untagged packets.

3.5.5 Flow Control
“Flow Control” Section allows users to decide whether this modem should control the packet size.
“Link Mode” Section allows users to decide whether this modem should control the transmit speed. The options are
“Auto”, “100M Full”, “100M Half”, “10M Full”, “10M Half”
Operations, administration and management or operations, administration and maintenance (OA&M or OAM) is the
processes, activities, tools, standards etc. involved with operating, administering, managing and maintaining any
system. This commonly applies to computer networks or computer hardware.
In particular, Ethernet operations, administration and maintenance (EOAM) is the protocol for installing, monitoring
and troubleshooting Ethernet metropolitan area network (MANs) and Ethernet WANs. It relies on a new, optional
sublayer in the data link layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The OAM features covered by this
protocol are discovery, link monitoring, remote fault detection, and remote
loopback.

is the more secure function for network administrator to setup the legal address of configuration.
Configured 0.0.0.0 will allow all hosts on Internet or LAN to access the LRE modem.
Leaving blank of trust host list will cause blocking all PC from WAN to access the LRE modem. On the other hand, only
PC in LAN can access the LRE modem.
If you type the exact IP address in the filed, only the host can access the LRE modem.
- 63 -
3.7.2 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides for the exchange of messages between a network
management client and a network management agent for remote management of network nodes. These messages
contain requests to get and set variables that exist in network nodes in order to obtain statistics, set configuration
parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP communications can occur over the LAN or WAN connection.
The LRE modem can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community strings to
implement SNMP security.
- 64 -
3.7.2.1 Community Pool
An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations runing SNMP belong to. It helps define
where information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. A SNMP device or agent may belog to
more than one community. It will not requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its
communities.
Read public
Write private
In the table of current community pool, you can setup the access authority.
Status: Enable: for turn on the SNMP function
Disable: for turn off the SNMP function

Write for access read and write.
Community: It serves as password for access right.
- 65 -
3.7.2.2 Trap Host Pool
In the table of current trap host pool, you can setup the trap host.
SNMP trap is an informational message sent from an SNMP agent to a manager. It is a management station (SNMP
application) that receives traps.
If no trap host pool is defined, no traps are issued.
Version: select version for trap host. (Version 1 is for SNMPv1; Version 2 for SNMPv2).
Disable for turn off
IP Address: type the trap host IP address
Community: type the community password.
The browser will prompt the configured parameters and check it before writing into NVRAM.
Press Restart to restart the LRE modem working with the new parameters and press Continue to setup other
parameters.

3.7.4 TIME SYNC
Time synchronization is an essential element for any business, which relies on the IT system. The reason for this is that
these systems all have clock that is the source of timer for their filing or operations. Without time synchronization,
these system’s clocks vary and cause the failure of firewall packet filtering schedule processes, compromised security,
or virtual server working in wrong schedule.
SNTP is the acronym for Simple Network Time Protocol, which is an adaptation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP)
used to synchronize computer clocks in the Internet. SNTP can be used when the ultimate performance of the full NTP
implementation. The function only supported on router mode.
There are two methods to synchronize time, synchronize with PC or SNTP. If you choose synchronize with PC, the VPN
Router will synchronize with PC’s internal timer. If you choose SNTP, the VPN Router will use the protocol to
synchronize with the time server. For synchronization the time server with SNTP, needs to configure service, time
server and time zone. For synchronization with PC, doesn’t need to configure the above parameters.

4.4.3 VLAN
Virtual LAN (VLAN) is defined as a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured so that they can
communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN
segments. Because VLAN is based on logical instead of physical connections, it is extremely flexible.
You can setup the Virtual LAN (VLAN) parameters in VLAN command. The LRE modem support the implementation of
VLAN-to-PVC only for bridge mode operation, i.e., the VLAN spreads over both the CO and CPE sides, where there is no
layer 3 routing involved. The unit supports up to 8 active VLANs with shared VLAN learning (SVL) bridge out of 4096
possible VLANs specified in IEEE 802.1Q.
To active the VLAN function, move the cursor “ >> “ to mode and press enter. The products support two types of VLAN,
802.1Q and Port-Based.
The 802.1Q defines the operation of VLAN bridges that permit the definition, operation, and administration of VLAN
topologies within a bridged LAN infrastructure.
Port-Based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC address and its
associated port.

With port-based VLAN, the port is assigned to a specific VLAN independent of the user or system attached to the
port. This means all users attached to the port should be members in the same VLAN. The port based setting
performs the VLAN assignment. The port configuration is static and cannot be automatically changed to another
VLAN without manual reconfiguration.
For Port Based VLAN, user must set up the table using 802.11Q methods. But don’t care the value of VID , PVID or link
type.

Message: Please input the following information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set up queue index(0, 1, 2 or 3) on each Priority of VLAN Tag.
VLAN Tag Priority uses the tag field information which has been inserted into an Ethernet frame. If a port has an
802.1Q-compliant device attached (such as this modem), these tagged frames can carry VLAN membership
information.
User priority is giving eight priority levels. The default value is 0, indicating normal treatment.
For example, you can set the LRE modem use Weighted Round-Robin (WRR) queuing (Type 1) that specifies a relative
weight of each queue. WRR uses a predefined relative weight for each queue that determines the percentage of
service time to services each queue before moving on to the next queue.

4.4.4.7 IP DSCP Priority Qos
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a class of service(CoS) model that enhances best-effort Internet services by
differentiating traffic by users, service requirements and other criteria. Packet are specifically marked, allowing
network nodes to provide different levels of service, as appropriate for video playback, voice calls or other
delay-sensitive applications, via priority queuing or bandwidth allocation.
The DSCP value used to identify 64 levels of service determines the forwarding behavior that each packet gets across
the DiffServ network. Based on the marking rule different kinds of traffic can be marked for different priorities of
forwarding. Resources can then be allocated according to the DSCP values and the configured policies.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a communication protocol that lets network administrators to manage
centrally and automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in an organization's network. Using the
Internet Protocol, each machine that can connect to the Internet needs an unique IP address. When an organization
sets up its computer users with connection to the Internet, an IP address must be assigned to each machine.
Without DHCP, the IP address must be entered manually at each computer. If computers move to another location in
another part of the network, a new IP address must be entered. DHCP lets a network administrator to supervise and
distribute IP addresses from a central point and automatically sends a new IP address when a computer is plugged into
a different place in the network.

4.10.3 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol not only governing network management, but also the
monitoring of network devices and their functions.
SNMP provides for the exchange of messages between a network management client and a network management
agent for remote management of network nodes. These messages contain requests to get and set variables that exist
in network nodes in order to obtain statistics, set configuration parameters, and monitor network events. SNMP
communications can occur over the LAN or WAN connection.
The LRE modem can generate SNMP traps to indicate alarm conditions, and it relies on SNMP community strings to
implement SNMP security. This LRE Modem support MIB I & II.
