The Token Ring network interface (NI) module serves to interface the

upper layers of the transport product to the link layer. This screen

supplies the information required for that interface. All of the ﬁelds are

used for internal resource allocation.

Press the

screen to the conﬁguration ﬁle you are creating or modifying. Verify

that the data record has been created by checking that the Data ﬂag is

set to Y. From this screen you proceed to the screens used to conﬁgure

the network layer protocols, the Token Ring network interface link, and

internetwork routing.
