ILMI Physical ATM Address (Read-Only)

For the VHSIM2-A6DP to support SVCs this must be a read-only field that displays the physical ATM address of the VHSIM2-A6DP. This field may be set if ILMI is disabled.

UNI Status (Toggle)

Displays the current UNI status. This field toggles between Enabled and Disabled. For instructions on how to change the UNI status refer to Section 3.17.3.

UNI Qsaal Status (Read-Only)

This read-only field displays the current UNI Qsaal status. If the VHSIM2-A6DP is connected to an ATM network, this field reads “Enabled”. If this field reads “Disabled” ensure that ILMI is in Autoconfigure mode, and that ILMI has an ATM address.

UNI Q93b Status (Read-Only)

This read-only field displays the current UNI Q93b status. If this field reads “Disabled” UNI did not start up correctly, and some UNI services may not be available. If this field remains in a disabled state, check that all appropriate UNI services in the ATM network have been configured properly.

UNI Version (Toggle)

Displays the current version of UNI being used by the VHSIM2-A6DP. This field is modifiable if ILMI is not set to “Auto Configure enabled”. In Autoconfigure mode the VHSIM2-A6DP uses either UNI 3.0, UNI 3.1, or UNI 4.0 depending on the version of UNI being used by the ATM switch to which the VHSIM2-A6DP is connected.

SAVE (Command)

Used to save all changes to memory.

RESTART UNI (Command)

Used to restart UNI. For instructions on how to restart UNI, refer to Section 3.17.4.

RESTART ILMI (Command)

Used to restart the ILMI. For instructions on how to restart the ILMI, refer to Section 3.17.5.
