ATM Clip Addressing Question

Ok, I'm feeling more and more confident with the ATM commands, but
I'm having a problem swallowing this whole NSAP stuff.

If I am given a router with an ATM interface and am asked
to configure that interface for ATM Clip.
It would appear to me that I would have to go through the following
steps (according
to the Doc CD):

interface atm 0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 <--- Assign it an IP address
 atm nsap-address ac.1533.66.020000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00
<-- **See Note 1**
 atm rate-queue 1 100 <-- Don't think I really need this
 atm pvc 1 0 5 qsaal <-- This does something for my SVCs
 atm arp-server <-- This tells the network that I am going to be the
arp-server. aka translate the IP
            addresses to ATM addresses.

**Note 1: This is where I get stuck. I am under the impression that
you can simply create this
NSAP address out of thin air... Are there any rules you have to follow?

One you have this scenario up and running how can you check to make sure
it's doing
what's supposed to be doing? (i.e. what 'show' commands)
Now in theory I should be able to ping another IP address on this ATM
cloud or setup routing
to it correct??
Any quick responses would be most appreciative!!!
