NAME

adconfig - Configuration tool for ATM devices

SYNOPSIS

adconfig device

adconfig -p vpi-bits device

adconfig -l on | off device

adconfig -f sonet | sdh device

adconfig -i idle | unassigned device

adconfig -c external | internal device

DESCRIPTION

adconfig is a tool to display and modify the current configuration of an ATM device. If no action is indicated for the specified device, the configuration information for the device is displayed.

The physical media device (PMD) configuration displayed includes the current framing used, the device clock source, the loopback state, the state of frame and stream scrambling, and the cell insertion type.

OPTIONS

-p Specifies the number of least-significant bits to match in the VPI field of the ATM cell header. The number of VCI bits is computed automatically based upon the number of VPI bits specified and the total number of VPI/VCI bits supported by the adapter.

-l Enable/Disable PMD internal loopback mode.

-f Set PMD framing type to either SONET or SDH.

-i Set PMD to insert idle cells (ITU-T standard) or unassigned cells (ATM Forum and ANSI standard).

-c Set PMD clock source to external or internal.

RESTRICTIONS

It is not possible to set the number of VPI bits on 200E-series adapters.

NOTES

Modifying PMD parameters may cause communication problems. The parameters must agree with the parameters chosen at the far end or intermediate switching module.

CLUSTER CONSIDERATIONS

You cannot run this command in partner mode.

Interface names are those on the live filer.

ERRORS

No such device
