NAME
       lecconf - Interphase 5515 ATM LAN emulation client configuration
       file.


DESCRIPTION
       The lecconf.x file is used to store LAN Emulation client
       configuration parameters which are read by the lec configuration
       utility.  The file name suffix x is the client number.  The client
       number, also know as the ELAN (emulated lan) or PPA (physical point
       of attachment) number, is calculated by the formula:

       ( link_number x 4 ) + unit_number

       where linknumber refers to the physical instance of the adapter and
       unitnumber refers to the number of the emulated lan on the adapter.
       The unitnumber will always be in the range 0 to 3 inclusive.  There
       is a separate configuration file for each client.

       The format of the file with some sample values is shown below:

               lecs:1
               atmprefix:47007900000000000000000000
               atmesisel:00A03E00000100
               maxframesz:1
               elanname:

       The following parameters are supported:

       lecs   The lecs parameter can have two values: 0 and 1.  If the value
              is 0, then the client connects directly to LES bypassing the
              LECS. The address specified in atmprefix and atmesisel is the
              LES address.  Otherwise, the client first connects to the
              LECS. The address specified in atmprefix and atmesisel is the
              LECS address.

       atmprefix
              If the client is configured to bypass the LECS, atmprefix
              contains the network prefix part of the the LES's ATM address.
              The value is specified as a sequence of 13 hexadecimal octets.
              Each digit is significant and all 13 octets must be present.
              If the client is configured to connect to the LECS, atmprefix
              contains the network prefix of the LECS.

       atmesisel
              If the client is configured to bypass the LECS, The atmesisel
              contains the ESI and SEL part of the the LES's ATM address.
              The value is specified as a sequence of 7 hexadecimal octets.
              Each digit is significant and all 7 octets must be present. If
              the client is configured to connect to the LECS, atmesisel
              contains the ESI and SEL of the LECS.

       maxframesz
              Specifies the maximum frame size in the CONFIG or JOIN request
              depending on whether the client is configured to connect to
              LECS or bypass LECS.  To request a maximum frame size of 1516,
              this field should be set 1. To request a maximum frame size of
              4544, this field should be set to 2. To request a maximum
              frame size of 9234, this filed should be set to 3. Maximum
              frame size of 18190 is not supported.

       elanname
              Specifies the ELAN name requested in the CONFIG or JOIN
              request depending on whether the client is configured to
              connect to LECS or bypass LECS.  The elanname is case
              sensitive and white space sensitive.
