This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring Point-to-Point links. (Point-to-Point links are sometimes referred to as router links.) This manual assumes that you are using the guided configuration capabilities of NMMGR.

Figure 7-1 “Point-to-Point Link Configuration Screen Flow” shows the screen flow for configuring Point-to-Point screens. Screens unique to Point-to-Point configuration are indicated by bold boxed screens. [FUNCTION] denotes the function key used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the screen flow.
