Link Conﬁguration Screens

Token Ring Link Conﬁguration

CAUTION

If the SNA token ring link product is already conﬁgured for the IBM

subsystem, the values that initially appear in the Token Ring Link

Conﬁguration screen ﬁelds reﬂect the SNA conﬁguration. If the same

token ring card is being used for both NS and SNA communications,

certain ﬁelds in the Token Ring Link Conﬁguration screen must match

the values of the SNA token ring link conﬁguration. (See the following

ﬁeld descriptions.)

If the Link Name conﬁgured for a NS token ring link is the same as the

name of a SNA token ring link, make sure that the values of these ﬁelds

in the NS token ring link conﬁguration match the SNA token ring link

conﬁguration; otherwise, the NS token ring link conﬁguration will

change the SNA token ring link conﬁguration.

Fields

Physical path of

device adapter The physical path number corresponds to the slot

location of a node’s token ring device adapter. For

HP 3000 systems, the path is derived by a basic

formula of 4 x slot number. (Example: 4 x 10 = 40,

where the token ring device adapter is installed in slot

number 10 and the physical path of the device adapter

is 40.)

NOTE

If the same token ring card is being used for both NS and SNA

communications, you must use the same value for this ﬁeld as is

conﬁgured for the SNA link.

If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical

path number to conﬁgure for your system, see your

system documentation or consultyour Hewlett-Packard

service representative.

Buffer size The size, in bytes, of the buffer that holds data

transferred from the token ring card to the upper layers

(inbound data only).

Default value: 4096

Range: 1536–4096

Use factory-

configured local

station address?

The token ring 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
