Global Call Center. A brief description of the 9A128-01 module is also provided.
Chapter 2, The 9A128-01 Module View, describes the visual display of the 
9A128-01 and explains how to use the mouse within the Module View; the 
operation of several device-level management functions — such as changing the 
port display, enabling and disabling ports, and setting device date and time— is 
also described here.
Chapter 4, ATM Configuration, describes how to configure Permanent Virtual 
Circuits (PVCs) for the ATM interface(s) available on each device’s front panel.

Station List, and Performance selections available from the FDDI menu. These 
windows provide information about each module’s FDDI FNB connections.
Chapter 6, Bridging, provides a comprehensive look at all management options 
associated with the bridge portion of the 9A128-01, including Bridge Performance

their physical layer components, and that you are familiar with basic bridging 
and switching concepts.
