2.2 Check your SP's Service Offerings
The SP provides at least the following information:
 The VPI/VCI of the Virtual Channel (VC) to use on the DSL
line
 The Packet Service supported on this VC
 The Encapsulation Method (if different from the Connection
Service's default encapsulation)
 User name and Password for your User Account (if needed).
Your STHome supports multiple simultaneous VCs on the DSL
line. If your SP exploits this capability, he will provide this
information per VC.
Example 1:
 VPI/VCI = 0/35
 Packet Service = Transparent Bridging
 Encapsulation Method : Bridge default, i.e. LLC/SNAP
Example 2:
 VPI/VCI = 8/48
 Packet Service = PPPoAtoPPTP Relaying (RFC2364 PPPoA)
 Encapsulation Method : pptp default, i.e. VCMUX
 User name : John_Doe
 Password for this User name : doejohn
As soon as you know the Packet Service supported on a VC, you
can configure your STHome, if needed.
