It’s been quite a long time since I’ve worked on a Bay Networks Centillion 100 ATM switch but I came across one last week and then today I stumbled upon a few technical documents while cleaning up my home directory (I was scolded for having 6+ GB of data in my home directory).

At on point we had almost 90 Centillion 100 ATM switches deployed across four hospitals with hundreds of Distributed 5000 Hubs. It was amazing how much dust, dirt and heat you could throw at these things and they would just keep on running. The only real downside was that you had to reboot the C100s in order for any significant configuration changes to take effect.

While these documents are very old they might still be helpful to those looking to understand how to deploy and manage an ATM network.
