Configuration Worksheets

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

Following is a list of worksheets:

• Switch Installation Checklist

• Switch Component Checklist

• Port Configuration Worksheets

• Site Log

• Quick Installation Worksheet

Obtain copies of the worksheets shown in Figure A-1, Table A-1, Figure A-8, Figure A-9, Figure A-10, Figure A-11, Figure A-12, and Figure A-13 before continuing so that, as you proceed through the following descriptions, you can record your information on the copies.

Each of the forms should be completed and kept in a safe place for future reference in the permanent-site record.

The worksheets are described in the following sections:

• Switch Component ChecklistUsing the Port Configuration Worksheets

• Port Configuration Worksheet Masters

Switch Installation Checklist

The Switch Installation Checklist is used 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.

Before starting the installation, copy the Switch Installation Checklist shown in Figure A-1. Each task in the Switch Installation Checklist should be verified by the person performing the installation and then dated for the permanent-site record.

Every task in the Switch Installation Checklist is listed in the index and described in detail in previous chapters of this document.

Switch Component Checklist

The Switch Component Checklist in Table A-1 is used 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 kept for the permanent site record. Every component in the Switch Component Checklist is listed in the index and described in this document.

Port Configuration Worksheets

The Port Configuration Worksheet is used 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.

Every component in the Port Configuration Worksheet is listed in the index and described in detail in previous chapters of this document.

Using the Port Configuration Worksheets

This section contains a sample LightStream 1010 ATM switch configuration and the corresponding port configuration forms.

Switch Configuration Example

The LightStream 1010 ATM switch example is shown in Figure A-2, and the completed Port Configuration Worksheets are shown in Figure A-3 through Figure A-7.

The first configuration shows a very simple case, which includes the following elements:

• Slot 0 -- one 155 SM port adapter module with four single-mode ATM connections to buildings one through four of the local campus

  • one 155 MM port adapter module with four multimode ATM connections to floors one through four of the installed building

• Slot 1 -- two 155 UTP port adapter modules with eight unshielded twisted-pair ATM connections to local servers one through eight

• Slot 2 --ATM switch processor module with an Ethernet connection and a terminal connected to the serial port

• Slot 3 -- one DS-3 port adapter module with two coaxial ATM connections to domestic T3 facilities

  • one DS-3 port adapter module with two coaxial ATM connections to European digital facilities

• Slot 4 -- two 622 SM port adapter modules with two single-mode ATM connections to OC12 connections

You can fill out the blank Port Configuration Worksheets (Figure A-8 to Figure A-12) before starting to configure the LightStream 1010 ATM switch.

Site Log

The Site Log (see Figure A-13) is used for subsequent maintenance 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 Quick Installation Worksheet (see Table A-2) is completed following the instructions provided in this publication, LightStream 1010 ATM switch installation should be successful. If the installation fails to make the LightStream 1010 ATM switch function properly in the first attempt, the Quick Installation Worksheet can be used to systematically check that each step was performed correctly.

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

Every task in the Quick Installation Worksheet is described in detail in this publication or in one of the following documents:

• LightStream 1010 ATM Switch ASP Installation Guide

• LightStream 1010 ATM Switch PAM Installation Guide

• LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Command Reference

• LightStream 1010 ATM Switch Hardware Installation Guide--if you are installing LightStream 1010 ATM Switch chassis

• Catalyst 5500 Installation Guide--if you are installing the LightStream 1010 in a Catalyst 5500 chassis
