The LEC Administration Screen

LAN Type (Read-Only)

This field displays the type of ELAN that this LEC joins. This field is read-only and displays [802.3]. This is the only type of ELAN currently supported by the HSIM-A6DP.

LES ATM Address (Modifiable)

This field displays the address of the LAN Emulation Server with which the LEC registers. If the LEC is configured manually, the LES ATM Address must be entered in this field manually.

NOTE

If the LEC is configured automatically, it is not necessary to enter the LES ATM Address, as the HSIM-A6DP learns the address dynamically.

LECS ATM Address (Modifiable)

This field displays the ATM address of the LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS). It is not necessary to enter the LECS address. Some network configurations, however, may have more than one LECS. If you wish to specify which LECS to which the LEC will connect, the address must be entered in this field.

ADD LEC (Command)

This command adds the LEC to the HSIM-A6DP LEC Index.

DELETE (Command)

This command deletes the LEC from the HSIM-A6DP LEC Index.

MODIFY MODE (Command)

This command allows the modification of all LECs that have been previously configured by putting the LEC Administration screen into

MODIFY MODE.

SAVE (Command)

This command only displays if the screen is in MODIFY MODE. When performed, all changes are saved to memory.
