Administration for Network Connectivity
555-233-504 — Issue 1 — April 2000 CID: 77730
3 C-LAN Administration
TCP/IP connections (ppp or ethernet) require DEFINITY ECS Release 7 or later
hardware and software. ISDN and BX.25 connections are supported on switches
upgrading to R8 and pre-R7 switches can be connected to R8 switches via ISDN or
BX.25. However, new systems will not be sold with X.25 connections. Therefore, all
switches in the five configurations are assumed to be upgraded to release R7 or later
except the si connected via BX.25 and the csi connected via ISDN in configurations 3
and 4 — these 2 switches could be either R7 or pre-R7 versions.
Organization of this chapter
The descriptions of the configurations have a common format. Each configuration
section has the following subsections:
• Configuration overview
• Task summary
• Checklist of prerequisite tasks
• Configuration diagram
• Administration tasks
The subsections are described below.
Configuration Overview Each of the configuration sections begins with a brief description of the network
represented by the configuration. This section includes a high-level diagram and a
description of the switches and their connections for each node in the network.
Task Summary Lists the tasks that need to be performed to administer this configuration.
1 Review checklist
2 Assign node names
3 Assign links
4 Assign processor channels
Procedures for completing each of these tasks are described in detail following this
summary.
Configuration Diagram A detailed diagram of the configuration is shown after the task summary. The
diagram is in two parts — one part showing the software-defined connections and the
other part showing the hardware connections. The diagram shows many of the
parameters that are entered on the administration screens
.
