Configuration Worksheets

This appendix includes checklists, instructions, examples, and blank worksheets used for the initial installation and maintenance of the LightStream 1010 ATM switch. The checklists, worksheets, and log provide reference and history information that may be useful when troubleshooting the switch in the future.

• Switch Installation Checklist

• Switch Component Checklist

• Port Configuration Worksheet

• Site Log

• Quick Installation Worksheet

Make copies of these worksheets before continuing, so that you can complete each of the forms and keep them in a safe place for future reference in the permanent site record.

Switch Installation Checklist

Use the Switch Installation Checklist to confirm that you have all the information needed to install and configure the LightStream 1010 ATM switch, and that all the components are installed and operating correctly. Each task in the Switch Installation Checklist should be verified by the person performing the installation and then dated for the permanent site record.

Switch Component Checklist

Use the Switch Component Checklist in Table A-2 to verify that all hardware and documentation items needed to complete this installation have been received before starting the installation process. Each component in the Switch Component Checklist should be verified by the person unpacking the equipment, and the list should be kept for the permanent site record.

Port Configuration Worksheet

Use the Port Configuration Worksheet during the software configuration process. Each heading in the Port Configuration Worksheet should be completed by the person configuring the switch and kept for the permanent site record. This section contains a sample LightStream 1010 ATM switch configuration and the corresponding port configuration forms.

Switch Configuration Example

An example LightStream 1010 ATM switch configuration is shown in Figure A-1. The example configuration includes the following elements:

• Slot 0

  • One 155 SM port adapter module (PAM) with four single-mode ATM connections to buildings one through four of the local campus

  • One 155 MM PAM with four multimode ATM connections to floors one through four of the installed building

• Slot 1

  • Two 155 UTP PAMs with eight unshielded twisted-pair ATM connections to local servers one through eight

• Slot 2

  • ATM switch processor (ASP) module with an Ethernet connection and a terminal connected to the serial port

• Slot 3

  • One DS-3 PAM with two coaxial ATM connections to domestic T3 facilities

  • One DS-3 PAM with two coaxial ATM connections to European digital facilities

• Slot 4

  • Two 622 SM PAMs with two single-mode ATM connections to OC12 connections

Figure A-2 displays example switch information, and Table A-3 is the completed Sample Port Configuration Worksheet for this switch.

Port Configuration Worksheet Master

You should fill out the blank Port Configuration Worksheet (Table A-4) before starting to configure the LightStream 1010 ATM switch.

Site Log

Use the Site Log (Table A-5) to keep a maintenance history of the switch. A detailed description of actions performed and symptoms observed should be completed by the person performing the maintenance and kept as part of the permanent site record.

Quick Installation Worksheet

The installation and configuration of the LightStream 1010 ATM switch can be separated into specific steps. If each step described in the Port Configuration Worksheet (Table A-4) is completed, switch installation should be successful. If the LightStream 1010 ATM switch fails to function properly in the first attempt, you can use the Quick Installation Worksheet to systematically check that each step was performed correctly.

Copy the Quick Installation Worksheet and initial each procedure as it is completed. Each task should be verified by the person performing the installation and dated for the permanent site record.
