The LAN Link Configuration screen (#82) in Figure 3-3 “LAN Link Configuration Screen” is displayed when you select a link name of type LAN
at the Link Selection screen (Figure 3-2 “Link Selection Screen”) and press
the [Add] or [Modify] function key. It is also displayed when you type the path
name:
@LINK.linkname
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where linkname is the name of
a configured LAN link.
Press the [Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the screen
to the configuration file you are creating or updating. Verify that the
data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is set to Y.
Fields
- Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the slot location
of the node's local area network interface controller (LANIC)
card. For HP e3000 systems, the path is derived by a basic formula
of 4 x slot number. (Example: 4 x 10 = 40,
where the LANIC card is installed in slot number 10 and the physical
path of the card is 40.)
For some HP systems, you must specify a channel number (ccc) and subchannel number (sss) in the form ccc.sss while others require a bus
converter number followed by a slash (/) and then a channel number (ccc) and subchannel number (sss) in the form b/ccc.sss.
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical path
number to configure for your system, see your system documentation
or consult your Hewlett-Packard service representative.
- Use factory-configured local station address?
(HP modifiable.) The LANIC
board is supplied with a 48-bit station address. These are guaranteed
to be unique. Do not change the factory configured local node address
except on the specific instructions of your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
(modifiable.) This field
is to be used only with specific instructions from your Hewlett-Packard
representative. It allows you to enter a station address to replace
the factory configured address. The format must be compatible with
HP software requirements. Your Hewlett-Packard representative will
supply instructions in the unlikely event that you need to enter
an address to replace the default.
