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 communication lines.

Handling-Static Sensitive Devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage this 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 device 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.

18 Installation and Using Guide

Chapter 7. Managing the Network

This chapter provides information to assist in 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 and the VCI
field occupies 2 bytes in the ATM cell’s 5-byte header.

For the TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATMAdapter, the value of VPI must be 0. The
value of VCI can be between 0 and 1024 decimal.

Although not required, VPI:VCI values are typically assigned symmetrically; the same
values are reserved in both directions across the link. A link is the physical medium of
transmission. For example, telephone wires or microwave beams are considered links.
A link connection includes the following:

v Physical medium for transmission
v Protocol
v Associated devices
v Programming

A link connection is both logical and physical.

You can set up more than one virtual channel (VC) 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 performs the following functions automatically:

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.

19

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
TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter supports multiple network interfaces.

Configuring with PVCs

Users must configure PVCs in ATM-attached hosts, gateways, and switches. 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’s IP
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 (swiched 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. Using SVCs avoids this complexity.

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 and 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’s IP
address is registered with the server, the destination’s ATM address is resolved.
The caller now has the destination ATM address and requests 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 TURBOWAYS 622 PCI MMF ATM Adapter’s characteristics are automatically set
during system boot, and these settings are designed to provide optimum performance.
If you are an experienced user and want to change the adapter characteristics, use the
instructions in this section.

20 Installation and Using Guide

To change the default ATM adapter characteristics, do the following:

1. At the AIX command prompt, type:

smitty atm_adpt

and press Enter.

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

– ATM 622 Mbit Adapter (read-only)

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 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: To facilitate an easy swap of ARP servers and/or server adapters, the

option of a user-specified alternate MAC address is provided. Because an
endpoint’s ATM address is partially derived from the adapter’s MAC
address, changing an adapter in an endpoint changes that station’s ATM
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 ATMAdapter PDU Size

– ATMAdapter 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.
