The default VCs, can be remotely modified via the AutoPVC
feature of the AST350i. AutoPVC operates only in conjunction
with the Alcatel Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)
- often referred to as ATM Subscriber Access Multiplexer (ASAM)
- and offers the functionality that user VCs, to be terminated on
the Ethernet port, can be notified by the AST350i (AutoPVC list
and yellow bar).
Suppose the SP configures one of the AST350i's default
terminated VCs, e.g. 8/35, on the DSLAM.
VPI/VCI 8/35 will end up in the 'AutoPVC' list:
As this VC matches with the Bridging entry Br1, this phonebook
entry will be highlighted in the 'Phonebook' table:
In this way the user can distinguish the activated VC from dummy
phonebook entries.
