6-20CHAPTER 6: CONFIGURING THE COREBUILDER 7000 FAMILY ATM SWITCH

Additional Switch

The Integrated Fast Setup configures a minimum set of network

Configuration

parameters - enough to get you started.

 

If you need to make changes or to perform additional configuration

 

tasks, use individual items of the LMA menus. These are all described in

 

the CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches User Guide.

 

Some additional configuration tasks might be:

 

Configuring SVCs

 

CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switches use standard UNI 3.0 or 3.1

 

switched virtual channel (SVC). SVC mode can be used when CoreBuilder

 

is in a backbone or workgroup topology, with PVC used whenever

 

necessary. ILMI enables automatic address registration for SVC. Addresses

 

can be registered manually via the LMA menus

 

Setting the Mode

 

The CoreBuilder will run UNI 3.0 SVC by default. You can work in UNI 3.1

 

by choosing this option in the signalling setup menu.

 

Setting Network Prefix and ATM Addresses

 

ATM addresses are essential for establishing a connection using SVC.

 

Most devices that support SVC, also support automatic address

 

registration through the ILMI protocol.

 

A network prefix is essential for address registration to be executed. Refer

 

to CoreBuilder 7000 Family ATM Switches User Guide for proper network

 

prefix setting.

 

For connectivity with devices that do not support ILMI, ATM addresses

 

can be set manually using the Add ATM address function under ATM

 

address setup in the Administration Console menus.

 

Configuring a PVC

 

Permanent Virtual Channels (PVC) can be used to connect to devices that

 

do not support switched virtual channels (SVC) standard protocols. In the

 

CoreBuilder 7000 family ATM switch you can create point-to-point (P2P)

 

and point-to-multipoint (P2M) connections. Use the Setup and

 

Configuration Connections menu, to create a PVC call, PTP or PTM. You

 

can also create an out VC in a PTM call, release a PVC call, release an out
