The type of LU traffic to flow over the link. This choice
determines what other parameters are needed for link
definition.
Any
The link station can be used for both independent and
dependent LU traffic. For this option, you must supply
values for the fields described in "Parameters for
Independent LU Traffic" and "Parameters for
Dependent LU Traffic", in addition to those described
in this section.
Independent only
The link station can be used only for independent LU
traffic. For this option, you must supply values for the
fields described in "Parameters for Independent LU
Traffic", in addition to those described in this section.
Dependent only
The link station can be used only for dependent LU
traffic. For this option, you must supply values for the
fields described in "Parameters for Dependent LU
Traffic", in addition to those described in this section.
You also need to provide addressing information for contacting the
adjacent node. The type of addressing information needed depends on
the DLC type of the port. If you do not supply an address for the remote
node, the link station acts as a nonselective listening link station,
accepting incoming calls from any remote node.

Poll address
The poll address of the remote station. Specify the
address as a two-digit (one-byte) hex value, typically
starting at C1. A primary link station polls the remote
station using this value. A secondary link station
responds to polling with this value. The poll address is
entered differently depending on the link role:
• If the link is a point-to-point link (not multi-drop),
• If the parent port for this link is switched incoming,

the address C1 is normally used.
the poll address is configured on the port and
cannot be configured independently for each link
station.
