Link Configuration Screens
Link Configuration: LAP-B Link Data
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 consultyour 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)
Local timeout
This is a handshake sequence between the host and its
PSI card. It is useful to prevent the PSI card from
keeping a line up when the system goes down.
Default value: 60
Range: 30–900 seconds or 0 (0 means disabled)
Modulo count This parameter specifies a window representing the
number of frames that can be outstanding.
Default value: 8
Range: 8 or 128
