The FDDI Network Interface Link screen (#200) in Figure 9-7 “FDDI Network Interface Link Screen” is displayed when you press the [Go To LINK] function key at the FDDI Network Interface Configuration
screen (Figure 9-3 “FDDI Network Interface Configuration
Screen”). It is also displayed when
you type the path name:
@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where NIname is a configured
FDDI NI.
Use the fields and the function keys of this select screen
to bind the FDDI NI to the link. Enter the link name in the Link name field and press the [Save Data] key. (If you wish to rename the link, simply enter the
new name and press the [Save Data] key.)
Fields
- Link name
Make sure this is the same link name configured
at the FDDI Link Configuration screen (path name LINK). Press the [Save Data] function key to save the link name in the configuration
file. Verify that the link name has been configured by checking
that the Data flag is set to Y.
This screen associates the link data with the FDDI network
interface data. The link name is used by the network transport when
establishing connections. The link name can contain as many as eight
alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.
To change an existing link name, enter the new name in the Link name field and press the [Save Data] function key.
