Summary of Configuration Steps
Summary of Configuration Steps
Once all hardware and software requirements have been met (refer to Required
Hardware and Software on page 9-2 for details), configuring and starting a single-line
Expand-over-ATM line-handler process involves the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the ATM Connection
The ATM subsystem provides permanent virtual circuit (PVC), switched virtual
circuit (SVC), or ATM protocol direct service access point (ATMSAP) connections.
A PVC connection is permanently established while an SVC connection is dynamically
established. An ATMSAP connection uses the ServerNet LAN systems access (SLSA)
subsystem, but is the same type of connection as PVC.
You configure your Expand-over-ATM line-handler process differently depending on
whether it will use a PVC, SVC, or ATMSAP connection.

Note. The SCF command syntax shown in this section is the syntax used to configure
Expand-over-ATM line-handler processes; it is not meant to show the complete syntax of SCF
commands described. Refer to the following manuals for more information:
•
ATM Configuration and Management Manual for ATM subsystem commands
•
WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual for WAN subsystem SCF
commands
•
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) Commands, for Expand subsystem SCF commands
Note. The following procedure assumes that an ATM3SA has already been installed and
configured. For complete information about installing and configuring an ATM3SA, refer to the
ATM Configuration and Management Manual.
