Fields
Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the slot location of a node's
FDDI device adapter. For HP e3000 systems, the path is derived by a basic
formula of 4 x slot number. (Example: 4 x 10 = 40, where the FDDI
device adapter is installed in slot number 10 and the physical path of
the device adapter is 40.)
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical path number to
configure for your system, see your system documentation or consult your
Hewlett-Packard service representative.
Use factory-configured local station address?
The FDDI adapter is supplied with a 48-bit station address. These are
guaranteed to be unique. Do not override the factory configured local
node address except on the specific instructions of your network
administrator or your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
Local station address
This field is to be used only with specific instructions from your
network administrator or your Hewlett-Packard representative. It allows
you to enter a station address to replace the factory configured address.
The format must be compatible with HP software requirements.
