The FDDI Link Configuration screen (#203) in Figure 3-7 “FDDI Link Configuration Screen” is displayed when you select a link name
of type FDDI 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:

Fields
- Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the slot
location of a node's FDDI device adapter. For HP 3000 systems,
the path is derived by a basic formula of 4 x slot number.
(Example: 4 x 10 = 40, where the FDDI device adapter is installed
in slot number 10 and the physical path of the device adapter is
40.)
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical
path number to configure for your system, see your system documentation
or consult your Hewlett-Packard service representative.
- Use factory- configured local station address?
The FDDI adapter is supplied with a 48-bit station
address. These are guaranteed to be unique. Do not override the
factory configured local node address except on the specific instructions
of your network administrator or your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
This field is to be used only with specific instructions
from your network administrator or your Hewlett-Packard representative.
It allows you to enter a station address to replace the factory
configured address. The format must be compatible with HP software
requirements.
