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.

an existing network interface.) Enter the current name
in the network interface name field. Enter the new name in the new
name field. Press the [Rename] function key.
