General PXM1E Configuration Procedures
Bringing Up a Connection
Bringing up a connection routes a P2P connection or all parties on a P2MP connection. To bring up a
connection, enter the upcon command using the following format:
PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a >
upcon
<
portid
> <
vpi
> <
vci
>
Replace the portid, vpi and vci parameters with the values that uniquely identify the connection to be
brought up. You can locate these parameters by entering the dspcons command. When bringing up a
P2MP connection, the upcon parameters must identify the root connection endpoint.
Bringing Down a Party
Bringing down a party deroutes a single party on a P2MP connection. To bring down a party, enter the
dnparty command using the following format:
PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a >
dnparty
<
portid
> <
vpi
> <
vci
> <
epref
>
The dnparty command parameters are the same parameters you set with the addparty command
(
).
Bringing Up a Party
Bringing up a party reconnects a previously downed party to the P2MP root connection. To bring up a
party, enter the upparty command using the following format:
PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a >
upparty
<
portid
> <
vpi
> <
vci
> <
epref
>
The upparty command parameters are the same parameters you set with the addparty command
(
).
Rerouting Connections
Rerouting a connection reroutes a P2MP connection or all parties on a P2MP connection. To reroute a
connection, enter the rrtcon command using the following format:
PXM1E_SJ.8.PXM.a >
rrtcon
<
portid
> <
vpi
> <
vci
>
Replace the portid, vpi and vci parameters with the values that uniquely identify the connection to be
rerouted. You can locate these parameters by entering the dspcons command. When rerouting a P2MP
connection, the rrtcon parameters must identify the root connection endpoint.
Rerouting a P2MP Party
The following procedure provides detailed steps for rerouting a party.
Step 1
Establish a configuration session using a user name with GROUP1 privileges or higher.
