Port, Connection Network, and DLC
Configuration Parameters
The following parameters are required for port configuration. (When you
use the Motif administration program, port configuration also supplies
information about the DLC and enables you to assign a port to a
connection network.)
SNA port name
The locally known name of the port.
Adapter card number
A number that identifies the adapter card to use, if you
have more than one card of the same type in this
computer. If you have only one card, leave this as 0.
If you have more than one, the card in the lowest
numbered slot is Card 0, the second card of this type is
Card 1, the third is Card 2, and so on for any
subsequent cards of the same type.
Port number
The number of the port to be used, if the adapter card
can support more than one port. The range of valid port
numbers is from 0 to the number of ports supported by
the adapter card minus one. For the first port on the
adapter card, enter 0.
