Defining the HP 3000 System

The name by which the HP 3000 Series 900 computer is known in your network.

The first character of each field must be alphabetic. For example: ACCOUNTS.MKT2.HP.

The link name that will be 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.

The location of the LANIC (LAN Interface Controller Card) in the system's backplane. The LANIC is an input/output (I/O) card that plugs into the Channel I/O Bus (CIB) (or the HP Precision Bus for NIO LANICs) of the HP 3000 computer. The location (slot number) of the LANIC within the cabinet must be specified.

The default physical paths (slot numbers) 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.
