The 100Base-T Link Configuration screen (#306) in Figure 3-9 “100BaseT Link Configuration Screen” is displayed when you select a link name of type BT100
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 BT100 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 I/O
slot where the 100Base-T (BT100) network interface card is installed.
Each hardware platform has a specific format and designation for
the physical path. Refer to Appendix E, "Verifying Attached
Devices" in the System Startup, Configuration,
and Shutdown Reference Manual for the procedure on how
to determine the physical paths of I/O cards installed in the system.
- Use factory-configured local station address?
(HP modifiable.)
- Y
Indicates that the factory-configured local station
address is to be used.
- N
Indicate that a new value should be used as the
local station address. Do not change the factory-configured address
except on the specific instructions of your network administrator
or your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
(HP modifiable.) Specifies
the new local station address if the address is being changed. Your
HP support representative will supply instructions for what to enter.
- Use auto-negotiation to determine link settings?
- Y
Indicates that the 100Base-T card should use auto-negotiation
to determine the link settings for speed and duplex. Note that this
feature will only work if the network equipment this card is connected
to also has auto-negotiation turned on.
- N
Indicates that the 100Base-T card should not use
auto-negotiation, and should use the values configured in the following
2 fields to determine settings for speed and duplex.
Default value: Y
- If 'N':
- Link speed
If auto-negotiation is turned off, then this field
is used to determine the mode with which the card will communicate.
Default value: 100
- Full Duplex mode
If auto-negotiation is turned of, then this field
is used to determine the mode with which the card will communicate.
Default value: N=Half
- Trace at startup?:
Enter Y (YES) to enable link tracing, N (NO) otherwise. This
value can be overridden with the LINKCONTROL command. If enable link tracing is selected, a trace
file name is required.
For best performance, do not enable tracing.
Default value: N
- Trace filename:
Required if link trace is enabled. Name of the disk
file where you want to record tracing. Must be a valid MPE file
name. Enter the file name in the format filename.groupname.acctname. The fully qualified file name can be as many
as 26 characters.
Lockwords are not allowed for trace files.
Do not specify the same file name with the NMMGR configuration
as specified with the LINKCONTROL command. Only one active trace is allowed per link.
