Step 2. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the IP subnet
mask field and enter the number in the same format as an IP address.

Ring card for which you are configuring a link. This name must be
unique to the node.

Adapter. Enter the physical path number corresponding to the SPU
slot number where the Token Ring device adapter is located.
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.
