CELLplex 7000 Integrated Fast Setup 3-3

Switch Setup Mode

The Switch setup mode focusses only on the CELLplex 7000 Switch and its ATM ports without altering Interface Card configuration. The Switch setup mode is provided to allow you to retain special settings in the Interface Cards.

Setup Mode Selection

If any of the settings in the following list are present in any Interface Card, the operator is prompted to choose between the Switch and Full setup modes:

QA Subnet Mask, Default Gateway or NMS Address different from that of the CELLplex 7000 Switch

QA vLAN whose ATM connection is set to “No”

QThe name of the ELAN that the default admin port (Port #1 in each slot) is attached to differs from the name “admin”

If Full setup is selected, the parameters in the Interface Cards revert to their default values.

If none of these situations are detected the Full setup mode is executed automatically.

Setting Special Parameters

In case one or more individual Interface Cards requires one of the special situations referred to in the previous section or needs to remain unaltered, you will need to do one of the following:

QUse the Switch setup mode of the Integrated Fast Setup to set up the CELLplex 7000 Switch only and then use the Multi-context Fast Setup of each installed Interface Card separately (see “Multi-context Fast Setup” on page 3-10).

QUse the Full setup mode of the Integrated Fast Setup to configure the CELLplex 7000 Switch and all installed Interface Cards and then use the Multi-context Fast Setup for the particular Interface Card in order to restore its special parameter values.
