3Com 155 PCI manual NIC and Elan Configuration, 3Com ATMLink Installation Window

3-12 CHAPTER 3: WINDOWS NT DRIVER INSTALLATION

Each ELAN on a physical NIC is assigned a unique MAC address that is an increment of the base MAC address of the physical NIC.

When you have completed resilient server link and ELAN assignments for each discovered NIC, the 3Com ATMLink Installation window appears, as shown in Figure 3-8 in the next section.

NIC and ELAN Configuration

The ELANs allocated to an active NIC appear in the ELAN portion of the ATMLink Installation window (Figure 3-8). The MAC addresses of the ELANs do not appear until the system is rebooted. The VCI/VPI Range and Signaling are global parameters set the same for all NICs in the system. LAN Type, ILMI VPI/VCI, and Maximum Frame Size are local NIC parameters and can be different for each NIC. Traffic Shaping and LE Configuration Mode, shown in Figure 3-9, are ELAN-specific parameters that can be different for each ELAN.
