Fields

Link name

Make sure this is the same link name configured at the X.25 Link Configuration screen (path name LINK). This screen associates the link data with the X.25 network interface data. The link name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.

The link name is used by the network transport when establishing connections. You can associate up to twelve (12) links with a single X.25 NI. All links associated with an NI have equal value (no primary or secondary weightings are assigned).

New name

(Required when renaming an existing X.25 link.) Enter a link name. This new link name is used in place of the current link name for an existing link configuration. The name can contain as many as eight alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.
