13.2.3 AutoPVC and the Phonebook
The default VCs, can be remotely modified via the AutoPVC
feature of the AST570 . AutoPVC operates only in conjunction with
the Alcatel DSLAM - often referred to as ATM Subscriber Access
Multiplexer (ASAM) - and offers the functionality that user VCs
that are to be terminated on the Ethernet port, can be notified by
the AST570 .
Basically the following steps are executed:
1. The SP configures VCs on the DSLAM.
2. Via AutoPVC the VPI/VCI values are communicated to the
AST570 .
3. AutoPVC messages are subsequently processed by the
AST570 , according to the two criteria listed below.
Any PVC, i.e. VPI/VCI, communicated via AutoPVC is added to the
'AutoPVC' list on the 'Phonebook' page.
If AutoPVC is not supported by the DSLAM, this list is empty.
If the VPI/VCI value is used in the phonebook, the 'AutoPVC'
column will show Yes next to the corresponding phonebook entry.
