5 Parameter Settings

Parameter

Description

It specifies the traffic management type used for the PVC.

Service type

UBR Without PCR: The ATM network makes the best efforts

to transmit UBR user information. This is called best-effort

transmission. The transmission quality, such as cell loss,

transmission delay, and jitter, cannot be guaranteed. This type of

service is applicable when an end-to-end error tolerance

mechanism or protocol is designed in the higher layer and the

applications do not impose stringent requirements on network

transmission capability.

CBR: A fixed bandwidth (or rate) is required. This type of

service is applicable to real-time audio and video signal

transmission.

Realtime VBR: Stringent requirements are imposed on

transmission delay. This type of service is mainly used for

services with stringent requirements on real-time performance,

such as video monitoring and compressed voice

communications.

Non Realtime VBR: This type of service does not impose

stringent requirements on transmission delay. For example, a

transmission delay of multiple seconds does not affect the image

quality when a user retrieves the image coded with MPEG-2

from the video server through the ATM network. The

transmission rate between the user and the network, such as the

PCR and the SCR, however, needs to be specified to reduce the

cell loss probability.

Internet through the PVC to implement Internet access

through a dial-up connection.

supports the routing mode. In this mode, the HG612

connected to the Internet through the PVC can access the

Internet by using its own routing function and thus PPP

5 Parameter Settings

Multiple QoS methods are used to provide different priorities to different services or data

flows to ensure that high-priority data is processed at first priority.

Different applications provided by the HG612 impose different QoS requirements. To

meet these QoS requirements, the HG612 may resort to service classification to provide

the required QoS through DiffServ. The HG612 sets an independent queue for each

priority and uses a strict priority or the weighted round robin (WRR) mechanism to

control the output of each priority queue.

Only the HG612 with the routing software supports the QoS function.

Path

Choose Advanced > QoS.

Function

The HG612 is completely compatible with the TR069 standard launched by the DSL

Forum. After the default configuration file is customized, the HG612 can properly access

the automatic configuration server (ACS) with the initial configuration to implement a

zero-configuration solution.

If an operator has enabled the automatic service provisioning function of the TR069, the

ACS automatically allocates the parameter settings of the HG612. You need only to set

the ACS parameters on the HG612 and complete the relevant settings on the ACS. The

network parameters can be automatically set through the TR069 function. You do not

need to set any other parameters on the HG612.
