ATM Conﬁguration

Viewing connection data; conﬁguring Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs); adding and deleting

connection entries

The ATM Connections option will be available when you have an HSIM-A6DP

installed and enabled in your SmartSwitch 2000. The ATM interfaces provided by

an ATM HSIM-A6DP provide the connectivity that allows you to merge ATM

network segments with traditional LAN technologies.

An ATM network uses two types of virtual channels, or circuits: Switched Virtual

Circuits, or SVCs, and Permanent Virtual Circuits, or PVCs. SVCs are created and

dismantled dynamically on an as-needed basis, and require no management

deÞnition; PVCs, however, must be manually conÞgured. The Current ATM

Connections window provides the means for accomplishing these conÞgurations.

Accessing the ATM Connections Window

To access the ATM Connections window from the Chassis View:

1. Click on Device on the Chassis View menu bar to access the Device menu.

2. Click on ATM Connections. The Current ATM Connections window,

Figure 7-1, will appear.
