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)
