Network Interface Configuration 

The Network Interface Configuration screen (#112) in figure 7-2 is
displayed when you press the [Go To NI] function key at the Network
Transport Configuration Selection screen (figure 4-2).  It is also
displayed when you type the path name:

@NETXPORT.NI

in the Command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key.


          Figure 7-2.  Network Interface Configuration 

Use the fields and the function keys of the select screen to perform the
desired action.

   *   To define a new X.25 NI, specify an NI name and NI type X.25; then
       press the [Add] function key.  The path for the selected NI name
       is added to the configuration file and the next screen for
       configuring an X.25 NI is displayed.  You may configure up to 12 
       NI's per system (one NI must be used for loopback). 

   *   To modify an existing NI, specify the NI name and press the
       [Modify] function key.  The next screen is displayed with the
       configuration data for that NI. 

   *   To change the name of an existing NI configuration, specify the NI
       name and a new name; then press the [Rename] function key.  The
       previously configured NI name is replaced and the screen displays
       the new name in a display field under the label Configured Network
       Interfaces. 

   *   To delete an existing NI configuration, specify the NI name; then
       press the [Delete] function key.  Press the [Delete] function key
       again to confirm the deletion.  The previously configured NI name
       (and the associated data) is deleted and is no longer displayed in
       a display field under the label Configured Network Interfaces. 

The network interface provides the interface between the network
transport protocols and the link protocols.  It also provides software
loopback capability.
