The ATM LEC Table Screen

3.10.1 ATM LEC Table Screen Fields

The ATM LEC Table screen is a read-only screen that allows the user to view the status of all LECs currently configured on the HSIM-A6DP.

The following list explains each of the ATM LEC Table screen fields:

IF (Read-Only)

This field displays the MIB-II Interface that this LEC has been assigned dynamically.

LEC Index (Read-Only)

This field displays the Index of the LEC that was dynamically assigned.

ELAN Name (Read-Only)

This field displays the name given the Emulated LAN (ELAN) by the user in the ELAN Administration screen (Section 3.11) or by the LECS.

LEC State (Read-Only)

This field displays the current state of the LEC. The LEC goes through a series of initialization phases, which may result in this field displaying different states as the initialization process proceeds. The possible states are as follows:

NOTE

In most cases, the initialization process occurs very rapidly, and the following initialization states, with the exception of “operational”, will not display.

initialState - While in initialState the LEC receives various configuration parameters from the LES, such as ATM addresses, ELAN name, and maximum frame size allowed.

lecsConnect - During the lecsConnect phase, the LEC establishes a Configuration Direct VCC with the LECS.

configure - The configure phase is where the LEC connects to the LES before going on the join phase.

join - During the join phase, the LEC establishes an LES Control Direct VCC with the LES. After this connection is made, the LEC is assigned a LEC Index, and the initialization process proceeds to the initialRegistration phase.
