NMC-RX 7.2.x User Guide, Vol. 1 > Performing Common Configuration Tasks > Task 5.  Configure an Object

Task 5.  Configure an Object

The section highlights the steps usually followed to configure any line module. This section assumes that you have an ATM line module in your device with no configured interfaces. If you do not have an ATM line module, use an available line module.

You can easily configure objects by using the Instance Explorer in conjunction with the Device-wide Explorer. Within the NMC-RX application, you use these tools to perform your configuration tasks.

Create an ATM Interface

To create an ATM interface on an ATM module:

1. Navigate to the ATM module, and double-click the folder to open it.
2. Click line interface 0, right-click, select Create, and click ATM Interface.

The Create ATM Interface dialog box appears.

3. Enter XYZ in the Logical Name field, and then click OK.

The XYZ ATM interface is added to the hierarchy.

 NOTE: You can create only one ATM interface per line interface.



 

Create a Subinterface

To create an ATM subinterface on an ATM interface:

1. Click the interface you just created in the previous section (XYZ).
2. Right-click, select Create, and click ATM Sub Interface.

The Create ATM Sub Interface dialog box appears.

3. Enter XYZ subinterface 1 in the Subinterface Name field and click OK.

The ATM subinterface appears in the list area.

View the ATM Interface

To view the ATM interfaces that you just created:

1. In the Device-wide Explorer, under ATM, select Interfaces.
2. Right-click, and then click List All.

The ATM interface that you created appears in the list area.
