6.Use the arrow keys to highlight the VCI field. Use the numeric keys to enter a VCI value from 32 through 4095. If a VCI value is entered which is out of range, reserved, or the field is left blank, the appropriate message will be displayed when the field is exited. If the VCI field is left blank, it defaults to zero, a reserved value.

NOTE: The VCI values 0 through 31 are reserved for ATM Forum use only.

7.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Profile Index field. Use the SPACE bar or the BACKSPACE key, or enter a valid profile index number to change the field. One profile index can be set for each virtual queue, VPI, VCI group. Any profile indexes which are accessible from the TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT screen can be utilized. If the user tries to save a Virtual Port which has a traffic descriptor configured that has a traffic rate of zero, an error message will be shown stating the index has a rate of zero and that the Virtual Port was not created.

8.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. The message “VPORT HAS BEEN CREATED” appears at the top of the screen indicating that Local Management has added the Virtual Port. If there are problems creating the Virtual Port, the error message may contain details.

If all the available Virtual Ports are configured (128 total), a message will be displayed across the top of the screen stating there are no more unconfigured Virtual Ports, and the first configured Virtual Port will be displayed.

NOTE: With the firmware revision shipped with this VHSIM2-A6DP, and previous versions as noted in their Release Notes, all Virtual Ports and their associated PVCs are stored in NVRAM, so will not be lost if the board is powered down or reset (either a hard or soft reset).
