Defining the HP 3000 System 

The following configuration parameters are required to define the HP 3000
host for asynchronous device connections.

Local HP 3000 Node    The name by which the HP 3000 Series 900 computer
Name                  is known in your network.  The format of a node
                      name is nodename.domain.organization, where each
                      field can contain 16 or fewer characters
                      (alphanumeric, underscores, or hyphens).  The first
                      character of each field must be alphabetic.  For
                      example:  ACCOUNTS.MKT2.HP.

Link Name             The link name that is used by the HP 3000's
                      Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS)
                      when device connections are established.  It must
                      start with a letter and can be up to eight
                      alphanumeric characters.  DTSLINK is the default
                      and should be used for your DTS configuration.

Physical Path of      The location of the LANIC (Local Area Network
LAN2C (Slot # of      Interface Controller Card) in the system's
LANIC Card)           backplane.  The location (slot number) of the LANIC
                      within the cabinet must be specified.

                      The default physical paths (slot numbers) of the
                      LANIC for HP 3000 computers are listed below.
                      These defaults optimize performance and use of the
                      computer's cabinet space.  Before moving the LANIC
                      into another slot, consult an HP representative.
