ATM Configuration

VPI

Displays the Virtual Path Identifier assigned to the

 

connection. Virtual Path Identifiers are used to group

 

virtual connections, allowing for channel trunking

 

between ATM switches. Each VPI can be configured to

 

carry many different channels (designated by VCIs)

 

between two points.

VCI

Displays the Virtual Channel Identifier assigned to the

 

connection; allowable values are 0 - 1023 for each VPI.

 

Each assigned VCI must be unique within its defined

 

VPI: for example, you can assign a VCI of 14 as many as

 

four times: once with a VPI of 0, once with a VPI of 1, and

 

so on. Remember, it is the combined VPI and VCI

 

designations assigned to a channel that creates the

 

grouping of virtual connections.

Encapsulation Type

Displays the method used to encapsulate LAN packets

 

on the selected circuit. Current versions of HSIM-A6DP

 

firmware use 802.3 VC-based multiplexing for bridging

 

protocols (designated VC MUX 802.3 Bridged); future

 

versions will add support for ATM Forum LAN

 

Emulation and SecureFast Switching. You may also see

 

some connections assigned a type of “other”; these are

 

default connections that cannot be modified or deleted.

Status

Displays the current administrative status of the

 

connection: enabled or disabled. In current versions of

 

firmware, all connections are enabled by default, and

 

cannot be disabled.

UpTime

The length of time the selected connection has been

 

enabled.

Add

Selecting the Add button either adds a new connection or modifies an existing one, using the parameters entered in the fields below the list box. A confirmation window opens for both additions and modifications.

Delete

Selecting the Delete button deletes the selected connection; a confirmation window requires that you confirm the deletion.

Refresh

Selecting Refresh refreshes the connection information displayed in the window.
