set to Y. 

Fields 

Physical path of device   The physical path number corresponds to the
adapter                   slot location of the node's local area network
                          interface controller (LANIC) card.  For HP 3000
                          systems, the path is derived by a basic formula
                          of 4 x slot number.  (Example:  4 x 10 = 40,
                          where the LANIC card is installed in slot
                          number 10 and the physical path of the card is
                          40.)

                          For some HP systems, you must specify a channel
                          number (ccc) and subchannel number (sss) in the
                          form ccc.sss while others require a bus
                          converter number followed by a slash (/) and
                          then a channel number (ccc) and subchannel
                          number (sss) in the form b/ccc.sss.

                          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.

Use factory-configured    (HP modifiable.)  The LANIC board is supplied
local station address?    with a 48-bit station address.  These are
                          guaranteed to be unique.  Do not change the
                          factory configured local node address except
                          on the specific instructions of your
                          Hewlett-Packard representative.

Local station address     (HP modifiable.)  This field is to be used only
                          with specific instructions from your
                          Hewlett-Packard representative.  It allows you
                          to enter a station address to replace the
                          factory configured address.  The format must be
                          compatible with HP software requirements.  Your
                          Hewlett-Packard representative will supply
                          instructions in the unlikely event that you
                          need to enter an address to replace the
                          default.
