Configuring the MCP
The master control processor (MCP) is a special module that is used to control the
switch. You must configure this module to recognize the Model 5782 VNR in the
Model 5000BH backplane. You must also define the type of signaling (UNI 3.0 or
UNI 3.1) that the VNR uses to communicate with other ATM devices and enable
or disable the interim local management interface (ILMI).
