Link Conﬁguration Screens

Link Conﬁguration: LAP-B Link Data

Buffer size Layer 3 through 7 frame size. This is the amount of

data that a user of OSI Levels 3 through 7 can put in

that frame. It does not include Level 2 header or trailer

information. This parameter is used to conﬁgure

memory buffers.

Default value: 1024

Range: 32–1024 Bytes

Local mode If the node you are conﬁguring is a Hewlett-Packard

computer operating across a point-to-point link, enter

11 (the default). HP computers at both ends of a

point-to-point link must both be conﬁgured as HP

point-to-point. If the remote node is a non-HP node and

the local station is acting as DTE, enter 5. If the remote

node is a non-HP node and the local station is acting as

DCE, enter 6. If the node you are conﬁguring is DCE,

then the node at the other side must be DTE. If the

node you are conﬁguring is DTE, then the node at the

other side must be DCE.

Default value: 11

Range: 5 = DTE, 6 = DCE, 11 = HP Point-to-Point

Transmission

speed This is the line-transmission speed in bits per second. It

may be overridden by whichever device is providing

clocking. The PSI simply transmits using the provided

clock source, whether it is the HP 3000’s CPU clock or a

modem.

Default value: 56000

Range: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, or

64000 bits/second

Trace at

startup (HP modiﬁable.) Enter Y (YES) to enable link tracing

at link startup, N (NO) otherwise. This value can be

overridden with the LINKCONTROL command.

If you do enable link tracing, you are required to enter a

trace ﬁle name. For best performance, do not enable

tracing.

Default value: N
