How to Configure NetWare Link/ATM WAN Call Destination Parameters

To configure NetWare Link/ATM WAN call destination parameters, complete the following steps:

  1. Load NIASCFG, then select the following parameter path:

    Select Configure NIAS > Protocols and Routing > WAN Call Directory > Press Ins

  2. Type the new WAN call destination name.

  3. Select ATMWAA from the supported wide area media list.

    When you set the connection type to PVC, you must enter a virtual connection identifier in the field provided.

  7. In the PVC VCI field, for PVC connection type, enter the PVC identifier.

    The PVC identifier consists of a 1-byte virtual path identifier, followed by a 2-byte virtual channel identifier.

    The valid range is 0x000020 through 0xFFFFFF.
