Chapter 3. Configuration
After installing the 6412M-25-TP module and attaching media cables to ATM devices,
you must enter configuration commands from the ATM console to:
Configure the ports parameters.
Connect the module to the network.
Enable the ports.
This section describes the ATM commands you need to enter to configure each
6412M-25-TP module in the ways described above. For a complete description of all
ATM commands, see the
ONcore ATM Switch and CELLplex 4000 ATM Command
Reference Guide
(hereafter referred to simply as the Command Reference Guide).
Configuring Port Parameters
The 6412M-25-TP module uses the user-to-network (UNI) interface. A UNI interface
defines the interface between an ATM user device (such as a router, bridge, server,
workstation, or concentrator equipped with an ATM adapter) and the ATM network.
Before you connect a 6412M-25-TP module to the ATM network (as described in
“Connecting the Module to the Network” on page 3-6) and enable its ports, you must
first set the type of ATM interface used on each port (UNI).
In addition, you can switch ILMI flow control on or off, and specify the ILMI
characteristics.
When a port is enabled, it can transmit and receive cells in the ATM network. The port's
parameters should be configured before the port is enabled.
