Displaying and Configuring ALM/A Cards

The ATM Line Module A (ALM/A) provides an ATM UNI port that allows devices such as routers or ATM switches to support VPCs and VCCs across the IGX node.

Displaying Card Parameters

To display the Card Configuration dialog for this device (using the rear or front view), right-click on the card to display the card "Configure" pop-up menu, then select Configure.
