ID protocol
(Y/N) (HP modifiable.) A Y (Yes) value activates the dial ID
protocol for a dial link.The dial ID protocol verifies the
identity of a remote node and ensures that both local
and remote nodes have the required security access.
The dial ID protocol should be disabled (by entering a
NO value) only to connect a dial link to a remote node
that does not support the dial ID protocol (that is, a
non-HP node).

initialization
(Y/N) A Y (Yes) value means that the device is to begin
startup when a NETCONTROL START command is
issued for this network interface. The physical layer is
activated when NETCONTROL START is issued, but the
data link layer of the first remote device is not activated
until the first REMOTE HELLO using that device is
issued. An N (No) means that a NETCONTROL ADDLINK
command must be used to start the device. For more
information on these commands, refer to the
NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Manual.
