Switch 3 Task — Assign Processor Channels 
This task associates data links (hardware) with processor channels (software) on 
Switch 3.
Begin
Steps
> Open Processor Channel Assignment form — enter  ch com p
Note:The Processor Channel number, the Interface Channel number, and the 
Local and Remote Session numbers do not need to be the same number 
but they should be made the same whenever possible to simplify network 
“bookkeeping” and diagnostics.

“server” (s).
Interface Link This must match the link number assigned on the node-3 
data module screen.

Session - Local The Local and Remote Session numbers can be any value 
between 1 and 256 (si model) or 384 (r model), but they 
must be consistent between endpoints. For each 
connection, the Local Session number on this switch must 
equal the Remote Session number on the remote switch

Enable links and processor channels
You must enable links and processor channels before the connections can be used.
To enable a link, open its data module screen (ch da [ext]) and set the Enable 
Link? field to y. 
[note: to view a list of assigned data modules and their extensions, enter the “list 
data-module” command (l da)]
To enable the processor channels, open the processor channel screen (ch com p) 
and set the Enable field to y for each assigned processor channel.
Note:1. You must disable a link or processor channel before you can change its 
parameters.
Note:2. The busy-out command overrules the data module Enable Link? field.
Note:3. On the C-LAN boards, low-level connectivity can remain intact when 
higher-level applications such as DCS are not functioning. For example, 
an external ping to a C-LAN’s ethernet port could be successful even 
when the board is busied-out. When debugging connectivity problems, 
pinging only checks low-level connectivity.

Switch 1 Task — Assign Node Names
This task assigns node names and IP addresses to each node in the network. This 
screen is administered on Switch 1. A Node Names screen must be administered on 
each switch in the network.
The node names and IP addresses in any network should be assigned in a logical and 
consistent manner from the point of view of the whole network. These names and 
addresses should be assigned in the planning stages of the network and should be 
available from the customer system administrator or from a Lucent representative.
Note:Enter node names for Intuity AUDIX and MSA adjuncts on page 1. Enter 
node names for switches, routers, and CMS starting on page 2.
