Make sure this is the same link name configured
at the FDDI Link Configuration screen (path name LINK).
Press the [Save Data] function key to save the

interface data. The link name is used by the network transport when
establishing connections. The link name can contain as many as eight
alphanumeric characters, and the first character must be alphabetic.

Link name field and press the [Save Data]
