Add/Delete Entry Screen
3-22 Local Management
AAL Type (Read-Only)
Displays the ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) being used by the PVC. The VHSIM2-A6DP uses
AAL 5.
Encapsulation Type (Toggle)
Displays the type of data encapsulation that the VHSIM2-A6DP will use to perform LAN to ATM
translation. This field toggles between the following options:
• VC Mux 802.3 Bdg - VC Based Multiplexing for Bridged Protocols as defined by the IETF
RFC 1483.
• LLC Encapsulated - Logical Link Control for Bridged Protocols as defined by the IETF
RFC 1483.
Traffic Profile Index (Selectable)
Used to enter the profile index number to be added to the PVC. The descriptor profile is displayed
next to it.
Total Bandwidth Available (Read-Only)
Shows the resources the current APIM has available for the assignment of PVCs and their
associated traffic descriptors. If there are no PVCs configured, the maximum bandwidth the active
APIM supports is displayed. For example, an APIM-21 will display 155 Mbps. As PVCs with
traffic descriptors are assigned, their rate is subtracted from the total.
ADD/MODIFY (Command)
Used to add the PVC, or the modified PVC, to the VHSIM2-A6DP connection table. The
command is only available if a PVC has been entered.
DELETE (Command)
Displays only if a valid VPI/VCI pair of an existing PVC has been entered in the respective fields
of the Add/Delete Entry screen. This command deletes the PVC from the VHSIM2-A6DP
connection table.
