STATE

The State setting determines whether the port is active or inactive. Set State to stdby (standby) for ports you are not using or have not yet configured. Set it to actv (active) for ports that are ready for use for ATM traffic.

AAL TYPE

Identifies the type of ATM Adaptation Layer this port is using for Variable Bit Rate (VBR) services. The options are aal5 and aal34.

LEGACY

This setting indicates the physical port(s) on the legacy side of the ACS-ATM card associated with this ATM user port. The options are wan for individual WAN links (only appears on C1) and lan (for LAN traffic). However, the lan option is only valid for port C1.

If wan is chosen, another pop-up window will appear to allow the user to select which WAN link to associate with this port. Valid selections for this option are w1-1to w4-2.

PORT

With wan or lan selected in the Legacy setting above, this option will always show n/a in user card ports (C1, C2, C3 and C4).

TS

The Time Slot setting identifies the WAN time slots used by this port. You can make time slot assignments by highlighting the time slots needed with the arrow keys and pressing the space bar. If lan is chosen as the Legacy setting above, this field will show n/a.

RATE

The Rate setting identifies the data speed used by this port. The option for this field is 64k.

VCI

The Virtual Channel Identifier is the VCI (local to the UNI) on which information will be transmitted or received. Since the VCI is restricted to one value in this version, it will be the value chosen for the entire UNI. The options are numbers 33 to 1023.
