Avaya M-ACCF/SF manual ATM Connections Within Your Network

Chapter 2 Applications

Note: Configuring the LECS and LES is outside of the scope of this user guide. Consult the user guide that accompanies the device implementing the LECS or LES.

Alternatively, if your LEC will not be using a LECS and is being configured manually, ensure that:

—The LES address that the LEC is using has been correctly entered via the local management screens.

—The LES is active.

For the ATM access module, you can enter settings using the Port Configuration screen described in the Section Configuring an ATM Port [2]65.

ATM Connections Within Your Network

ATM connections in your ATM network can be established dynamically by the Signalling protocol (Switched Virtual Circuit).

Note: The ATM access module does not support PVC connections. All ATM access module connections are SVCs. This network concepts section includes PVC configuration concepts for completeness.

•Switched Virtual Circuits (SVC) — SVCs are set up dynamically by the signalling protocol. SVCs require very little configuration, and only use the resources you need. For these reasons, SVCs are commonly used in the LAN environment.
