HYSICAL ESOURCE
1. Select Physical Resources from the main menu. Then, select Resource to display your
CyberSWITCH's resources.
2. The first resource that you need to add is the Ethernet resource. Select either Ethernet-1 or
Ethernet-2 from the displayed list depending on which adapter you have in your system. Enter
the Ethernet adapter's slot number.
3. Add all WAN and/or Digital Modem resources. Depending on the type of WAN resource you
have in your system, select either a Basic Rate or Primary Rate resource from the displayed list
of resources. If you have selected Primary Rate, you should choose slave as the synchronization
type. You will also need to configure any expansion resources at this time if you selected
Primary Rate. (Note: The BASIC_RATE_NET resource type is a test facility. Do not select this
for your resource type.) After all resources have been added, return to the Physical Resource
menu.
4. Configure the WAN lines. Select Data Line from the Physical Resources menu. After you select
to add a line you will be prompted for the line name. Enter LINE1 for the first line name. Next,
select the line's slot number and port number from the displayed list. The information
requested to complete the line configuration will depend on the line type. The following
summarizes the information requested for each line type and the most common responses.
For Basic Rate:
• If you have a 4 port basic rate adapter, configure all basic rate lines at this time (up to four
lines)
• select point-to-point for the interface type
• add a data link (two for DMS and NI-1 switch types)
• use Automatic TEIs for these data links
For Primary Rate:
• ESF is the most common framing type
• B8ZS is the most common line coding type
• chose common-channel as the signaling type
• select the length of the line from the CSU to the CyberSWITCH as line build out
5. If you are using any accesses besides switched accesses (such as dedicated accesses, frame relay
or X.25) configure the access now. Select Access. Select the type of access you wish to configure.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration.
Note: Frame relay and X.25 accesses are available only if you have purchased the additional
software module for packet switched accesses.
The initial configuration steps on the CyberSWITCH are now complete. Press <return> repeatedly
until you return to the main CFGEDIT menu. Continue with the
remaining configuration steps.
