Fields 

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

                          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

                          unique.  Do not override the factory configured
                          local node address except on the specific
                          instructions of your network administrator or

Local station address     This field is to be used only with specific
                          instructions from your network administrator or
                          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.
