Switch 3 Task — Assign Link via ppp Data Module to Switch 1
This task administers a ppp data module on Switch 3 for the ppp connection to Switch 
1. The data module associates a link number with a port address, extension number, 
and node name for the C-LAN port used for this connection.

Field Conditions/Comments
Type: This indicates the data-module type for this connection.
Port: In this example, the C-LAN circuit pack is in slot 01a09; the 
ppp connection is through port 06.
Link: The link number must be in the range 1 – 25 (for R8csi), not 
previously assigned on this switch.
Enable Link? If you need to add an IP route that uses this node as a 
gateway, this field must be set to 
y before adding the IP route. 
Otherwise leave this field set to 
n until the link administration 
is complete; that is, until after all data modules and the 
processor channels are assigned, then set to 
y.
Name: Information-only; appears in list generated by the “list data 
module” command.

3  C-LAN Administration
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.
Begin
Steps
> Open Node Names form — enter  ch node-n
> Go to page 2
