Interface Configuration screen (figure 9-3).  It is also displayed when

NIname is a configured FDDI NI.


          Figure 9-7.  FDDI Network Interface Link 

Use the fields and the function keys of this screen to bind the FDDI NI

Fields 

Link name             Make sure this is the same link name configured at
                      the FDDI Link Configuration screen (path name
                      LINK). Press the [Save Data] function key to save
                      the link name in the configuration file.  Verify
                      that the link name has been configured by checking
                      that the Data flag is set to Y.

                      This screen associates the link data with the FDDI
                      network interface data.  The link name is used by
                      the network transport when establishing
                      connections.  The link name can contain as many as
                      eight alphanumeric characters and the first
                      character must be alphabetic.

                      To change an existing link name, enter the new name
                      in the Link name field and press the [Save Data]
                      function key.
