VCCMask combinations dictate what numerical values can be used for VPI/VCI pairs. Any VPI and VCI pairs that fit
the bit distribution of one of the indexed combinations can be used for defining a PVC. If the VPI and VCI values do
not fit one of the indexed combinations, the SmartCell 6A000 uses the closest matching indexed combination.
If you need to use values for VPI and VCI that do not fall within the range of one of the preconfigured indexed
combinations, use the
set vccmask command to replace one of the preconfigured combinations.
For example, change VCCMask indexed combination zero (0) from VPI = 0 bits and VCI = 12 bits to
VPI = 3 bits and VCI = 9 bits.
1. Use set vccmask to change the VPI/VCI values to 3/9.
SmartCell ZX # set vccmask
MaskIndex(0) :
VPIShift(0) : 3
VCIShift(12) : 9

2. Use the show vccmask command to see the new VPI/VCI combination.
SmartCell ZX # show vccmask
