Daisy Chain 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 for the command-line interface or
Configuring ATM Traffic Profiles on page 428 for the Web interface). 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.
Configure Service. For each card that is subtending or subtended, configure the applicable
service:
DS1/DSX-1: see Configuring DS1 Service on page 143 (command-line interface) or
Configuring DS1 Service on page417 (Web interface)
DS3: see Configuring DS3 Service on page 149 (command-line interface) or
Configuring DS3 Service on page422 (Web interface)
OC3 service: see Configuring OC3 Service on page142 (command-line interface) or
Configuring OC3 Service on page416 (Web interface)
