Creating a MAC Address to ATM Entry
An easy way to edit an entry is to select a similar entry
from the listbox using the spacebar. The far end ATM
and MAC addresses of that entry are shown in the
edit fields. You can then edit the addresses (without
losing or changing the original entry) and select the
INSERT button to create a new entry.
If you cannot select an entry in the listbox (because
you are creating the first entry), use the following
method:
1
In the
Far MAC Address
field, type in the MAC
address of the device to be added to the database.
2
In the
Far ATM Address
field, type in the far end ATM
address.
3
Select the INSERT button.
