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
