Fields Physical path
The physical path of the Programmable Serial Interface
(PSI) card.
The basic formula for deriving the physical path is 4 x
slot number. (Example: 4 x 10 = 40.) For systems with
dual card cages, you must also specify a path number
for the card cage, as follows:
PathNumber/(4 X SlotNumber)
where (a) PathNumber is a number corresponding to
the card cage the PSI is in:
Card cage 0: PathNumber = 2
Card cage 1: PathNumber = 6
(b) / is the slash character (not the division sign), (c) the
parentheses are used to set off an arithmetic formula
(they are not entered as part of the Physical Path
value), (d) X is the multiplication sign (not the
character X), and (e) SlotNumber is the number of the
slot, within the card cage, the PSI is in.
Examples:
If the PSI is in card cage 0, slot number 4, the Physical
Path is 2/16
(PathNumber, slash character, 4 multiplied by 4).
If the PSI is in card cage 1, slot number 3, the Physical
Path is 6/12
(PathNumber, slash character, 4 multiplied by 3).
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical
path number to configure for your system, see your
system documentation or consult your Hewlett-Packard
service representative.
Connect timeout
(HP modifiable.) During link initialization, this value
specifies the amount of time the PSI will wait for a
response from the remote station. If this time lapse is
exceeded, it is assumed that the remote station is not
responding.
Default value: 900
Range: 60–900 seconds or 0 (0 means disabled)
