The dialog box in Figure 3-11 allows the user to set the 3C971-F adapter to communicate with up to four LAN emulation servers. Four MAC addresses appear in the Client List box. The first, Client 0, is the default MAC address of the 3C971-F adapter. The other three MAC addresses are increments of the default address. All settings in the LEC ATM Adapter Configuration dialog box are tied to the client highlighted in the Client List box.

If the 3C971-F adapter is to communicate with only one LAN emulation server, then Client 0 is the only client that needs to be configured. The remaining three clients must be disabled. The default settings for Client 0 that initially appear in the dialog box are:

Enable: Enabled (Client 0 cannot be disabled)

MTU Size: 1514 (recommended for communicating with Ethernet hosts)

ELAN Name: (blank)

LECS/LES: set to contact the LECS

ATM Address: set to the ATM Forum’s “well-known” address
