Chapter 3. Configuration

After installing

the 6412M-25-TP module

and

attaching

media cables to ATM devices,

you must enter

configuration commands

from

the ATM

console to:

Configure the ports parameters.

Connect the module to the network.

Enable the ports.

This section describes the ATM commands

you need to enter to

configure

each

6412M-25-TP module

in the

ways

described

above. For a

complete

description of

all

ATM commands, see theONcore ATM Switch and CELLplex 4000 ATM Command

The 6412M-25-TP module uses the user-to-network (UNI) interface. A

UNI

interface

defines the interface between an ATM user device (such as

 

a

router,

bridge, server,

workstation, or concentrator equipped with an ATM adapter)

and

 

the

ATM

network.

 

Before you connect a 6412M-25-TP module

to the ATM network (as

described

in

 

“Connecting the Module to the Network” on

page 3-6)

and

enable

its

ports,

you

must

first

set

the

type of

ATM

interface used on

each

port

(UNI).

 

 

 

In addition, you can switch ILMI flow control on or off, and specify the ILMI characteristics.

When a port is enabled, it can transmit and receive cells in the ATM network. The port' parameters should be configuredbefore the port is enabled.
