X.25 Configuration
The network interface (NI) name is
used to easily identify a network
interface. The name can be up to eight
alphanumeric characters, starting
with a letter. The maximum number
of NIs that can be configured on a
node is 48. If a node interfaces to more
than one network, give each NI on
that node a unique name. You will use
the NI name with the NETCONTROL
command to start the transport and
network link.
Permanent VC
number
X.25 Virtual circuit
Configuration
For PVCs only. In the network
directory, the number of the
permanent virtual circuit on the
remote node.
Physical path Point-to-Point Configuration This is the location of the
programmable serial interface. Refer
to Chapter 7 , “Configuring a
Point-to-Point Node,” for further
details regarding physical path.
Physical path of
LANIC
LAN Configuration This is the location of the LANIC
device adapter card. Refer to the LAN
section of Chapter 6 , “Configuring a
LAN Node,” for further details
regarding physical path.
Physical path of
device adapter
FDDI Configuration This is the location of the FDDI device
adapter card. Refer to the FDDI
section of Chapter 6 , “Configuring a
LAN Node,” for further details
regarding the physical path.
Physical path of
Token Ring device
adapter
Token Ring Configuration This is the location of the Token Ring
device adapter card. Refer to the
Token Ring section of Chapter 6 ,
“Configuring a LAN Node,” for further
details regarding physical path.
