4-20 Server Cards
Model No. Running Head ACS-ATM Card User Screens and Settings ATM Card
MID
The Multiplexer Identification Number is set to a non-zero value if multiplexing is required.
The options are n/a (not applicable) and numbers 0 to 1023. This setting will only show if
aal34 is chosen in the AAL TYPE field above.
TAG
The option is n/a.
PEAK (Kbps)
The Peak Bandwidth setting determines the maximum bandwidth (in kbps) used by the source
port in the direction of the ATM virtual connection. If wan is chosen in the Legacy selection
above, the value is the product of the time slot setting multiplied by the rate setting (e.g., 5
time slots x 64k rate = 320 kbps) and is automatically calculated. In wan mode, the user cannot
change this parameter, which appears as n/a. Same if legacy is user card.
If lan is used in the Legacy selection, the user must select the appropriate peak bandwidth.
Valid selections are 1 to 10000.
MEAN (Kbps)
The Mean Bandwidth setting determines the average bandwidth (in kbps) used by the source
port in the direction of the ATM virtual connection. If wan is chosen in the LEGACY
parameter, the value is the product of the number of time slots selected in the TS parameter
multiplied by the value of the RATE parameter. (For instance, eight time slots x 64K rate =
512 kbps.) This value is calculated automatically. Can me modified from 1 to calculate value.
If lan is selected from the LEGACY parameter, the value of MEAN (KBPS) can range from
1 to 10000, but can never exceed the value of PEAK (KBPS).
MBS (Bytes)
The Burst Length setting determines the maximum size packets sent by the source port in the
direction of the ATM virtual connection. Typically, this setting will be the size of the packets
used. Valid selections are 1 to 10,000. The default is 5000.
