Abstract
In an ATM network having ATM endpoints connected to a central server over respective virtual circuits, ATM endpoints are configured for Internet Protocol (IP) over ATM communications by transmitting an unsolicited message from the server to the selected ATM endpoint at a first transmission interval over the associated virtual circuit, the unsolicited message including a server IP address and an ATM endpoint IP address; and receiving the unsolicited message at the selected ATM endpoint, including extracting the server IP address and the ATM endpoint IP address from the unsolicited message and transmitting an SNMP TRAP message to the server.
