▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 1 Getting Started This document contains information on installing and configuring the Adaptec® ANA™-5910/5930/5940 adapters. These adapters provide the interface between your computer ’s PCI bus and a network that uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Procedures in this document describe installing the adapter, installing and configuring the adapter drivers, and performing administrative and management functions for your ATM network.

Getting Started Document Overview How to Use This Document To use this document, first scan this chapter for an overview of this document. Next read Chapter 2, Introducing ATM Networking, for a description of ATM and how the ANA-5910/5930/5940 adapters fit into an ATM network. Then follow the instructions in Chapter 3, Installing the Adapter, for installing the adapter and connecting ATM UTP/STP or MMF.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 2 Introducing ATM Networking As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departure from LAN alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typically rely on shared transmission media. That is, with Ethernet, several nodes often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments that support only one transmission at a time. When a node successfully captures the media, it transmits its message at the maximum allowed speed, completely consuming the media.
ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide native wide area connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, and bandwidth guarantees. Figure 2-1. ATM Networking Wide Area Connectivity International telephone companies have standardized ATM to support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy their individual ATM networks, ATM’s standard definition makes it easy to interconnect these various ATM networks into a cooperative integrated global network.
Introducing ATM Networking Scaleable bandwidth ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or workstation, connect to ATM switches and how ATM switches interconnect with each other. Because these various connections consist of dedicated links, their construction (metal wire or fiber optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link to link.
ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide To communicate with another node, an initiating node must initiate a signaling request to the signaling Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) residing within the local switch. Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constructed manually or constructed by both nodes and all intervening switches. Manually constructed connections are called Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) and must be manually deconstructed.
Introducing ATM Networking ATM uses SONET and SHD technology to reduce costs while achieving high transmission rates. Essentially, ATM combines multiple STS-1 frames into STS superframes (STS-Nc, where N stands for some integer value) and likewise for STM-1 frames. Transmitting 8,000 single STS-1 frames at telephone company in a second, referred to as STS-1 transmission, produces a 51.84 Mbit/sec transmission rate.
ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide numerous interconnected networks. This section introduces the TCP/IP protocol suite which ATM necessarily supports untouched. Application UDP Native App. TCP IP LAN Emulation Classical IP accesses AAL directly Signalling For example, an MPEG-II application accesses AAL 5 directly for video transmission ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) ATM Layer Physical Layer 25.
Introducing ATM Networking stands for User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP have associated processes and applications that produce the messages and streams TCP and UDP receive and deliver. While TCP provides a reliable data transport mechanism to host applications including checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but only provides its applications access only to IP’s connectionless, unreliable delivery.
ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide LAN Emulation Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approach for communication is distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional LANs use. ATM LAN Emulation, an industry-standard facility all Adaptec ATM adapters support, provides necessary mechanisms to address this requirement. LAN emulation allows ATM networks to provide all services available within legacy LAN environments.
Introducing ATM Networking LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS) A LECS usually resides within an ATM switch. When queried by a LEC over a Control Direct VCC, a LECS indicates what LAN(s) a LEC can participate in based on input from a network administrator. LECs use the LECS to obtain the network address of the LES. A temporary VCC, that transports this information, is the Configuration Direct VCC.
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ 3 Installing the Adapter This chapter explains how to install the ANA-5910/5930/5940 adapter and how to connect ATM cables.

Using Frame Types with Novell NetWare If your Novell network uses a frame type other than the default 802.2, you must edit the PROTOCOL.INI file (usually located in C:\ADPT25LE directory). To support more than one frame type, you must edit the batch file in the Novell NetWare Client directory to properly find the multiple frame types. ATM drivers are NDIS drivers that use an ODI-to-NDIS enabler to work with the Novell NetWare client.You cannot set the frame type in the net.
