SWAN Concentrator Configuration Limits

The SWAN concentrator configuration entities are the same for SWAN and SWAN 2.

The configuration limits of various objects are the same for the SWAN, SWAN 2, or a

mix of the two.

The SCF subsystem allows you to configure 3600 lines using any configuration of

SWAN and SWAN 2 concentrators.

For example, if all three CLIPs are configured for each SWAN concentrator, you can

configure a maximum of 1200 SWAN concentrators. But if only one CLIP is configured

for each SWAN concentrator, you can configure a maximum of 3600 entities.

The number of SWAN concentrators that can be configured also depends on the

amount of memory available to the WAN manager process. The default memory

allocation allows configuration of approximately 350 SWAN concentrators, so the

values described above cannot be achieved without allocating more memory to the

WAN manager process by changing the startup parameter DATAPAGES (see

Example 2-1 on page 2-24).
