Card Type

The type of card you are adding.

Slot Number

The slot number of the card you are adding.

Verify that the slot number is correct. If not, click Slot Number, and then
select the correct slot from the list that appears.

Important: You must base your slot number selection on where cards are
actually installed in the BIG. However, We recommend the following slot number
assignments for each card type:



SWIF Receive Card    Slot 6



OC3 ATM Card    Slot 5



SWIF Transmit Card    Slot 4

Port

The receive and transmit ports for the SWIF cards:



SWIF Receive card - Type a unique number to identify the

transport stream coming into the SWIF Receive card through that
port. 



SWIF Transmit card - Type a unique number to identify the

transport stream going from the SWIF Transmit card through that port.

You can use up to 5 numeric characters in either case. 

You do not need to define every port    only the ports that actually
send or receive data. Be sure to use a number that is consistent with
the numbering scheme used on your network map.
