To configure the ATM Workgroup Switch perform the following steps in sequence:
1
Set up and attach a configuration console to the ATM Workgroup Switch Base Unit as
described in Chapter 9, “Setting-Up and Using the Configuration Console” on page 73.
If no prompt appears or if the console does not function as expected, follow the
troubleshooting procedures in “Problems with the Configuration Console” on page 155.
2
Configure the basic parameters of the workgroup switch, as described in Chapter 10,
“Configuring Basic Workgroup Switch Parameters” on page 85.
3
Configure the ports in the Base Unit and the ports and ATM media modules in the
Expansion Unit, as described in Chapter 11, “Configuring Ports and Media Modules” on
page 93.
4
If the workgroup switch will form part of an ATM Campus Network, configure the trunks to
the other switches and PVCs, as described in Chapter 12, “Configuring Trunk Connections”
on page 99.
5
If you will be using Classical IP Over ATM, configure the TCP/IP parameters, as described in
Chapter 13, “Configuring TCP/IP Parameters” on page 103.

If you will be using LAN Emulation Over ATM, configure the LAN Emulation parameters, as
described in Chapter 14, “Configuring LAN Emulation Parameters” on page 107.
7
If you will be using an SNMP application to manage the ATM Workgroup Switch, configure
the SNMP parameters, as described in Chapter 15, “Configuring SNMP Parameters” on
page 115.
8
Save your configuration settings and logoff from the configuration console, as described in
“Saving Configuration Settings and Logging Off” on page 119.
