Select the subtended line cards. Install a
card in the line-side of the subtended system (see
the table on page 47) that is compatible with the
card you selected in “Select the subtending
channel cards” above. For example, if you select a
DS1 card for subtending, then use one of the
following:
•DS1 card in slot 3 of a subtended AV3000
system
•OC3 card in slot 2 of a subtended AV3000
system
•DSX-1 or OC3 card in slot 11 or 12 of a subtended AV8000 system
•DS1 line/management card in slot 1 of a 2200
The line-side interface provides the network line interface to the subtending system.
Refer to the applicable Avidia 8000 and 8100 Installation Manual , Avidia 3000 and 8100
Installation Manual, or Avidia 2200 Installation Manual for more information about installing
systems and placement of cards.
Star Configuration
Consider what traffic contract you need to set up for each connection and what policing, through
the Usage Parameter Control (UPC), applies to the connection.The traffic contract and policing
you select is dependent on the service you provide. The traffic contract and policing selection
should maximize the network throughput and minimize end-to-end delays, thus efficiently
utilizing the network. Complete the following sections to set up the connections for subtending.
Create ATM Profiles. Create ATM profiles, if required, for the service you will supply (see
“Configuring ATM Traffic Profiles” on page 154 (command-line interface) or “Configuring
ATM Traffic Profiles” on page 428 (Web interface) for more information). Remember that
upstream and downstream rates and the QoS must be supported end-to-end.
Select a traffic type. See page20 for a list of available traffic types.
Select a value for traffic parameters to complete the traffic contract. See page21 for a list of
traffic parameters available.
