This chapter is an overview of the configuration procedures in this manual:
The installation tasks introduced here are explained in detail in subsequent chapters.
For a description of the commands used to initially set up a BPX switch, refer to the Cisco WAN Switch Command Reference and Cisco WAN Switch SuperUser Command Reference.
For additional information on network management and the graphical user interface recommended for configuring and provisioning, refer to the Cisco WAN Manager manual.

Step 19 Making External Clock Connections
Step 20 Initial Power-Up of the BPX Switch
Step 21 Provisioning the BPX Switch (making connections)
Here is the sequence of operations that you should follow during the installation of the BPX switch:
The BPX switch shelves are either AC or DC powered. At the completion of the cabinet installation procedures you are directed to the appropriate power setup and connection chapter:
An optional cable management tray and BXM T3/E3 cable management brackets are available for use with T3/E3 BXM cards. The brackets are designed for cards set up as non-redundant (single cables rather than Y-cabling). The tray is designed primarily for use in a mid-mount open-rack configuration. Instructions for installing the optional tray are provided in:
The remaining installation procedures are the same for every installation. You will proceed to the initial setup and configuration procedures in:
Following the completion of these installation procedures, you should set-up a network management workstation so that you can use the CiscoView and Cisco WAN Manager graphical user interfaces to provision the BPX equipment with network connections.
Overview and network configuration procedures are in Part 3, Initial Configuration and Network Management.
When you have connected and configured the network management terminal and software, you are ready to configure the BPX switch. Configuration procedures are provided in Part 4, Configuring Connections.
In many cases, you can add and configure lines and trunks by using the Cisco WAN Manager, which provides a graphical interface that is most convenient for configuring connections. In certain other cases, however (and particularly during the initial setup before you have configured network management) you will need to use the command line interface (CLI).
For example, to add an ATM connection, you might use the following CLI command:
addcon local_addr node remote_addr traffic type ...extended parametersOther initial configuration must be performed by using the command line interface:
For additional information about the CLI and complete details on all its commands, refer to the Cisco WAN Switch Command Reference.
