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 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 e3000 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 consult your 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
