Understanding the HP ATM Adapter
The HP ATM adapter allows you to run one Classical IP (CIP) interface
and up to 32 emulated LAN (ELAN) interfaces at the same time, as
shown in Figure 1-1 below:

System A has one ATM adapter installed. This adapter is a member of
the ATM backbone network and is identified with a unique 40-digit ATM
address. One network interface on the adapter uses Classical IP (CIP)
and can be used only by TCP/IP applications.
