Safety Information
DANGER
An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and
grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for
the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged.
When adding or removing any additional devices to or from the system,
ensure that the power cables for those devices are unplugged before the
signal cables are connected. If possible, disconnect all power cables from the
existing system before you add a device.
Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to
prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.
During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations, printers,
telephones, or station protectors for communications lines.

Handling Static-Sensitive Devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage the device and your system unit. To avoid
damage, keep this device in its anti-static protective bag until you are ready to install it.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, follow the precautions listed below:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
v While the CD-ROM drive is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its
static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.)
Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

12 Installation and Using Guide
Chapter 4. Managing the Network
This chapter provides information to assist in creating and maintaining ATM networks.
ATM Connections
ATM networks use a virtual path identifier (VPI) and a virtual channel identifier (VCI).
VPI and VCI together identify connections in the ATM network. A VPI:VCI pair defines a
path between two nodes in an ATM network. The VPI field occupies 1 byte in the ATM
cell’s 5-byte header, while the VCI field occupies 2 bytes in the ATM cell’s 5-byte
header.
For the 64-bit/66MHz PCI ATM MMF Adapter, the value of VPI must be 0. The VCI
value can be between 0 and 127 decimal.
Although not required, VPI:VCI values are typically assigned symmetrically, that is, the
same values are reserved in both directions across the link. A link is the physical
medium of transmission, for example, a telephone wire or microwave beam. A link
connection includes the physical medium for transmission, the protocol, associated
devices and programming. A link connection is both logical and physical.
More than one virtual channel (VC) can be set up on the same link, but the VPI:VCI
must be different for each connection on the link. A permanent virtual channel (PVC) is
a static connection between two end stations and the ATM network. The PVC is created
by selecting a physical path from the end station through the switches to the other end
station. VPI:VCIs are assigned to establish the connection between the two end
stations. The PVC must be configured in each end station and in all switches included
in the connection.
An ATM switch automatically performs the following functions:
v Recognizes the source of the cell
v Changes VPI:VCI
v Determines the destination of the cell
v Transmits the cell to its destination
TCP/IP over ATM
Each ATM network interface can have an assigned IP (internet protocol) address. This
assigned network interface can have VPI:VCIs associated with it. This allows a TCP/IP
host, identified by its IP address, to communicate with multiple TCP/IP hosts on the
ATM network.
If your host has more than one IP address, (for example, one ATM interface and one
token-ring interface), you must add one network interface for each IP address. The
64-bit/66MHz PCI ATM MMF Adapter supports multiple network interfaces.
13
Configuring with PVCs
PVCs in ATM-attached hosts, gateways, and switches must be configured by users. For
environments requiring the transfer of several protocols over the same VCI or support
for inverse ARP (address resolution protocol) requests, LLC (logical link control),
encapsulation is provided. If LLC support is enabled, the system issues inverse ARP
requests on the VPI:VCI connection to automatically discover the destination’sIP
address. This request is issued every minute until the destination IP address is found.
After the destination IP address is found, inverse ARP requests are issued every 15
minutes to verify that the connection has not changed. If automatic destination address
discovery by inverse ARP is either declined or not supported at the destination, the
destination IP address must be specified.
Networking with ATM SVCs
Networking with ATM SVCs (switched virtual circuits) is different from networking with
ATM PVCs. PVCs are created by users during configuration of ATM-attached hosts,
gateways, and switches. These static connections remain established until they are
removed by configuration changes. To establish complete connectivity, a connection
must be configured and maintained from each node to every other node. This process
can become labor-intensive as the number of connections grows rapidly with the
addition of nodes. Such complexity is avoided by using SVCs.
An IP subnet using SVCs consists of an ATM switch, an ARP server, and ARP clients.
During network initialization, endpoints automatically open signaling channels to obtain
their 20-byte ATM address from the switch. Using the ARP server ATM address
provided by the user at the time of configuration, clients open a connection with the
subnet’s ARP server and register both their IP and ATM addresses.
Note: Each subnet requires one ATM ARP server. When a client station needs to
transmit to another station, the ARP server is called. If the destination’sIP
address is registered with the server, the destination’s ATM address is resolved.
The caller now has the destination ATM address and will request a connection to
that station through the ATM switch. The switch creates a VPI:VCI connection
from the caller to the destination.
Changing ATM Adapter Characteristics
The 64-bit/66MHz PCI ATM MMF Adapter characteristics are automatically set during
system boot, and these settings provide optimum performance. If you are an
experienced user and want to change the adapter characteristics, use the following
instructions:
To change the default ATM adapter characteristics, do the following:
1. At the AIX command prompt, type:
smitty atm_adpt
and press Enter.
14 Installation and Using Guide
2. From the Adapter menu, select Change / Show Characteristics of an ATM
Adapter.
3. From the ATM Adapter list, select atm0.
4. Change any values in the Change / Show Characteristics of an ATM Adapter screen
and press Enter.
v Device name
– atm0 (read-only)
v Description
– 64-bit/66MHz PCI ATM MMF Adapter
v Status
– Defined (read-only)
v Location
– 00-01 (read-only)
v Enable ALTERNATE ATM MAC address
– Set this characteristic to yes to enable the ATM media access control (MAC)
address that you specify in the ALTERNATE ATM MAC address field.
v ALTERNATE ATM MAC address
– Type the MAC address in hexadecimal format (for example, 0x0000D10008ED).
Note: Alternate MAC Address: To facilitate an easy swap of ARP servers or
server adapters, the user can specify an alternate MAC address. Because
an endpoint’s ATM address is partially derived from the adapter’sMAC
address, changing an adapter in an endpoint changes that station’sATM
address.
If an ARP server adapter is changed, it is not necessary to change the ARP
server ATM address in each ARP client. The MAC address of the previous
configuration can be entered as the alternate MAC address of the new adapter.
Each MAC addresses within a network, however, must be unique.
v ATM Adapter PDU Size:
– ATM Adapter PDU (Protocol Data Unit) Size field specifies the maximum
packet size that the IP stack generates for the ATM interface.
– Do not change the default value of 9180 unless another PDU size has been
configured and is used by all other hosts and routers in the IP subnet.
To see the range of valid values for this setting, press F4.
5. When the Command status in the Command Status screen changes from running
to OK, press F3.
6. To exit SMITTY, press F10.
