The FDDI Link Configuration screen (#203) in Figure 3-8 “FDDI Link Configuration Screen” is displayed when you select a link name of type FDDI
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 FDDI 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 a node's FDDI device adapter. For HP e3000 systems,
the path is derived by a basic formula of 4 x slot
number. (Example: 4 x 10 = 40, where the FDDI device
adapter is installed in slot number 10 and the physical path of
the device adapter is 40.)
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?
The FDDI adapter is supplied with a 48-bit station address.
These are guaranteed to be unique. Do not override the factory configured
local node address except on the specific instructions of your network administrator
or your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
This field is to be used only with specific instructions from
your network administrator or 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.
