External Network Number 

The external network number specifies a unique number designating the
address for the network.  The external network number can be up to eight
hexadecimal numbers in length.

If you have other NetWare file servers and want the NetWare for the HP
3000 file server on the same LAN, make sure that all the NetWare file
servers have the same external network number.  Also see Quick
Configuration, Quick Config Parameters screen.

Device Name 

This is the adapter device name which specifies the path of the device
driver file in the host's device directory.

The device name is a file name in the following format:

/dev/dlpi.linkname

where the linkname corresponds to the link name configured in NMMGR. The
device file name must be entered in all lowercase characters.

The default device name is:  /dev/dlpi.syslink.

See Chapter 1 under the section Verify Link Configuration for information
on verifying and creating a device name.  Also see Quick Configuration,
Quick Config Parameters screen.

Frame Type 

The frame type specifies the type of packet header that the device driver
uses.

The default is Ethernet 802.3.

The supported frame types are:  ETHERNET_802.3, ETHERNET_II, TOKEN- RING,
ETHERNET_802.2.

For a LAN network you can use Ethernet 802.3, Ethernet II, or Ethernet
802.2 frame type.  For a token-ring network, use the token-ring frame
type.

To change this value, move the cursor to the field.  Press the space bar
to toggle valid frame types.
