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.

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. Related Screen: LINK The link name configured in the NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK.linkname
screen 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.
