CONFIGURING THE

6 COREBUILDER 7000 FAMILY ATM

SWITCH

This chapter describes the initial configuration of the CoreBuilder® 7000 family ATM switch. Using the terminal connected to the control port, you log into the system and assign network addresses to the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch. This procedure enables the management of the site to recognize and communicate with the CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch. You also specify ATM connections between addresses, using the ATM protocol you have selected.
