    Getting Started This document contains information on installing and configuring ® ™ the Adaptec -5910/5930/5940 adapters. These adapters provide the interface between your computer ’s PCI bus and a network that uses Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). Procedures in this document describe installing the adapter, installing and configuring the adapter drivers, and performing administrative and management functions for your ATM network.

Be sure to consult the documentation for your computer and any connected equipment when you are installing the equipment or changing its configuration.

  • Page 11: Document Overview

    Getting Started Document Overview How to Use This Document To use this document, first scan this chapter for an overview of this document. Next read Chapter 2, Introducing ATM Networking, for a description of ATM and how the ANA-5910/5930/5940 adapters fit into an ATM network.

  • Page 13: Introducing Atm Networking

    Introducing ATM Networking As a technology, ATM represents a sharp departure from LAN alternatives such as traditional Ethernets that typically rely on shared transmission media. That is, with Ethernet, several nodes often contend for the right to transmit over shared cable segments that support only one transmission at a time.

  • Page 14: Wide Area Connectivity

    ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide native wide area connectivity, scaleable bandwidth, and bandwidth guarantees. Figure 2-1. ATM Networking Wide Area Connectivity International telephone companies have standardized ATM to support their domestic telephone voice traffic. As nations deploy their individual ATM networks, ATM’s standard definition makes it easy to interconnect these various ATM networks into a cooperative integrated global network.

  • Page 15: Scaleable Bandwidth

    Introducing ATM Networking Scaleable bandwidth ATM defines how ATM end-stations, such as your PC or workstation, connect to ATM switches and how ATM switches interconnect with each other. Because these various connections consist of dedicated links, their construction (metal wire or fiber optic) and the transmission speed they support may vary from link to link.

  • Page 16: Virtual Channel Connections (Vccs)

    ANA-5910/5930/5940 User’s Guide To communicate with another node, an initiating node must initiate a signaling request to the signaling Virtual Channel Connection (VCC) residing within the local switch. Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) Virtual Channel Connections (VCCs) are either constructed manually or constructed by both nodes and all intervening switches.

  • Page 17: 25.6 Mbit/Sec Atm

    Adaptec ATM products currently support the STS-3C/STM-1 transmission rate of 155.51 Mbits/sec. 25.6 Mbit/sec ATM ATM also supports 25.6 Mbit transmission speeds. Adaptec products providing this transmission speed attach to switches which can subsequently transport the data at any ATM transmission speed necessary to reach another switch or node.

Application LAN Emulation Classical IP Signalling ATM Adaptation Layer (AAL) ATM Layer Physical Layer SONET and SDH 25.6-Mbit/sec ATM ATM Model Classical IP Operational Summary Within workstations, a TCP/IP communication protocol stack receives application data streams and fragments the flows into datagrams.

  • Page 19: Classical Ip Over Atm

    Introducing ATM Networking stands for User Datagram Protocol. Both TCP and UDP have associated processes and applications that produce the messages and streams TCP and UDP receive and deliver. While TCP provides a reliable data transport mechanism to host applications including checksums, UDP provides applications-specific IP addresses but only provides its applications access only to IP’s connectionless, unreliable delivery.

  • Page 20: Lan Emulation

    Clearly, ATM’s connection-oriented approach for communication is distinctly different from the broadcast-oriented approach traditional LANs use. ATM LAN Emulation, an industry-standard facility all Adaptec ATM adapters support, provides necessary mechanisms to address this requirement. LAN emulation allows ATM networks to provide all services available within legacy LAN environments.

  • Page 21: Lan Emulation Configuration Server (Lecs)

    Introducing ATM Networking LAN Emulation Configuration Server (LECS) A LECS usually resides within an ATM switch. When queried by a LEC over a Control Direct VCC, a LECS indicates what LAN(s) a LEC can participate in based on input from a network administrator. LECs use the LECS to obtain the network address of the LES.

Connecting to the ANA-5910 Note: The RJ-45 connector pinout on the adapter conforms with the IBM de facto standard. If your switch connector pinout is not compatible with this standard, obtain or create a cable to convert to the required pinout.

    Connecting to the ANA-5930 To connect the ANA-5930 to an ATM switch Obtain the connecting cable. Connect the RJ-45 connector at one end of the cable to the RJ-45 socket on the ANA-5930. Caution: Connect only a UTP 5 cable to the ANA-5930. Connect the RJ-45 connector at the other end of the cable to the ATM wall port or directly to the RJ-45 socket on the ATM switch, as illustrated in Figure 3-3.
