The 100Base-T Link Configuration screen (#306) in
Figure 3-9 "100BaseT Link Configuration
Screen" is displayed when you select a link name of type BT100 at the Link
Selection screen (Figure 3-2 "Link Selection
Screen") and press the [Add] or [Modify] function key. It is
also displayed when you type the path name:
@LINK.linkname
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where
linkname is the name of a configured BT100 link.

Press the [Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the
screen to the configuration file you are creating or updating. Verify that the
data record has been created by checking that the Data flag is set to
Y.
Fields
- Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the I/O slot where the
100Base-T (BT100) network interface card is installed. Each hardware
platform has a specific format and designation for the physical path.
Refer to Appendix E, "Verifying Attached Devices" in the System
Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual for the
procedure on how to determine the physical paths of I/O cards installed
in the system.
- Use factory-configured local station address?
(HP modifiable.)
- Y
Indicates that the factory-configured local station address is to
be used.
- N
Indicate that a new value should be used as the local station
address. Do not change the factory-configured address except on the
specific instructions of your network administrator or your
Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
(HP modifiable.) Specifies the new local station address if the
address is being changed. Your HP support representative will supply
instructions for what to enter.
- Use auto-negotiation to determine link settings?
- Y
Indicates that the 100Base-T card should use auto-negotiation to
determine the link settings for speed and duplex. Note that this
feature will only work if the network equipment this card is
connected to also has auto-negotiation turned on.
- N
Indicates that the 100Base-T card should not use auto-negotiation,
and should use the values configured in the following 2 fields to
determine settings for speed and duplex.
Default value: Y
- If 'N':
- Link speed
If auto-negotiation is turned off, then this field is used to
determine the mode with which the card will communicate.
Default value: 100
- Full Duplex mode
If auto-negotiation is turned of, then this field is used to
determine the mode with which the card will communicate.
Default value: N=Half
- Trace at startup?:
Enter Y (YES) to enable link tracing, N (NO) otherwise. This value can
be overridden with the LINKCONTROL command. If enable link tracing
is selected, a trace file name is required.
For best performance, do not enable tracing.
Default value: N
- Trace filename:
Required if link trace is enabled. Name of the disk file where you
want to record tracing. Must be a valid MPE file name. Enter the file
name in the format filename.groupname.acctname. The fully
qualified file name can be as many as 26 characters.
Lockwords are not allowed for trace files.
Do not specify the same file name with the NMMGR configuration as
specified with the LINKCONTROL command. Only one active trace is
allowed per link.
