Configuring an ATM Cell Transmission Stream
The OC3port Plus can be configured to provide up to eight individual ATM cell
transmission streams.
There are 17 parameters that can be configured to define a cell stream. Of the 17,
one provides an alphanumeric label or name for the stream, seven configure the
ATM cell header, three alter the payloads carried by the cells, and six affect the
transmission rate and traffic shape.
During actual testing, you can configure the header once. Then, you can make
minor adjustments to the transmission stream parameters and/or the header to run
additional tests.
Table 5-2 lists the 17 parameters and describes their use.

Configuring for ATM Network Testing
Configuring an ATM Cell Transmission Stream
Description
Cell Loss Priority. Indicates whether or not the contents of the cell can
be discarded by the network. Values range from 0-1. If set to 0, the
cell has a higher priority and should not be discarded. If set to 1, the
cell can be discarded by the network. When x is specified, the
OCe3port Plus ignores the parameter when attempting to match the
receive filter.
Generic Flow Control. Values range from 0-F. When x is specified, the
OC3port Plus ignores the parameter when attempting to match the
receive filter.
Hexadecimal header. A representation of the values programmed into
the individual header fields. Editing is not recommended unless you
know the exact value to supply.
Alarm detection mechanism. Determines whether or not the OC3port
Plus issues an alarm when ATM traffic matching the receive filer is
detected. When set to ON, an alarm sounds once every second.
When set to OFF, the alarm does not sound.
