Gateway Half Network Interface Link 

The Gateway Half Network Interface Link screen (#117) in figure 10-8 is
displayed when you press the [Go To LINK] function key at the Gateway
Half Network Interface Configuration screen (figure 10-3).  It is also
displayed when you type the path name:

@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK

in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where
NIname is the configured gateway half link network interface name.


          Figure 10-8.  Gateway Half Network Interface Link 

Use the fields of this select screen in combination with the function
keys to perform the desired action.

   *   To define a new NI link configuration, specify the link name and
       link type, then press the [Add] function key.  The path for the
       selected link name is added to the configuration file, and the
       data screen on the path is displayed.  You may configure only one 
       network link per gateway half NI. 

   *   To modify an existing NI link configuration, specify the link
       name, then press the [Modify] function key.  The next screen for
       the specified link is displayed. 

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

   *   To delete an existing link configuration, specify the link name,
       then press the [Delete] function key.  Press the [Delete] function
       key again to confirm the deletion.  The previously configured name
       is deleted and is no longer displayed under the label Configured
       Network Links. 

Fields 

Link name             Enter the link name from the link configuration of
                      a gateway half; this enables the network transport
                      to associate the correct link with the gateway half
                      network interface.  The name can contain as many as
                      eight alphanumeric characters, and the first
                      character must be alphabetic.  The link name is
                      used by the network transport when establishing
                      connections and must match the link name configured
                      for the link configuration of a gateway half.  Note
                      that only one gateway-half NI may be configured per
                      network.

                         *   LINK

                             The link name configured in the
                             NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK.linknamescreen must
                             be the same as a link name of type LAP-B
                             configured in the LINK screen.

Type                  Enter DD for a direct dial link, or DC if the link
                      is direct connect (leased line, private line, or
                      other non-switched link).

New name              (Required only when renaming an existing gateway
                      link.)  Enter a link name.  This new link name is
                      used in place of the current link name for an
                      existing link configuration.  The name can contain
                      as many as eight alphanumeric characters, and the
                      first character must be alphabetic.
