Field Use
Connectivity Classification Select one of the following to set the connectivity type:

  • Multiplexed

  • Packet

  • Service

Along with the value for Entity Type, the Connectivity Classification selection drives UIM functionality for entities based on this specification.
Entity Type For Multiplexed and Service connectivity types, displays the predefined entity type (Channelized Connectivity or Service Connectivity).

For Packet connectivity, select one of the following entity types, which determines what role the entity plays in a packet network:

  • Ethernet UNI Connectivity

  • Ethernet I-NNI Connectivity

  • Ethernet E-NNI Connectivity

  • Packet Network Access Connectivity (network access connectivity for ATM, Frame Relay, and other non-Ethernet technologies)

  • Packet Network Connectivity (network connectivity for ATM, Frame Relay, and other non-Ethernet technologies)

Along with the value for Connectivity Classification, the Entity Type selection determines UIM functionality for entities based on this specification.
Technology Displays the technology type or types assigned to the connectivity. Use the Select or Add button to create a technology that applies to the connectivity. The technology you select must be valid for the connectivity type.
Open Click to open the editor for the selected technology. The editor opens in a new tab.
Add Not used
Remove Click to remove the selected technology.
Select Click to open a dialog box in which you select from the technologies that are valid for this combination of connectivity type and entity type.
