The Set Link Configuration command allows the user to modify various local and remote node configuration parameters. This includes the node's Station Address, Download Server Station Address, and File Server Station Address. In addition, the Receive Packet Filter mode, Retry Limit, Save Bad Packet flag, and Trace Mode flag can be set.
Caution Users should consult with a System or Network Manager prior to modifying local or remote configuration parameters.
The syntax for the Set Link Configuration command is:
where: |
|
ADR | This is the •target" Station Address; that is, the node whose configuration |
| parameters are to be set. It is entered as 6 pairs of hexadecimal digits |
| separated by hyphens. See Table 5"1 for default addresses. |
PAR# | This parameter is a required entry and must be specified as one of the |
| following integers: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, or 10. Table 5"6 shows the meaning of |
| each PAR# integer. |
For the PAR# parameter specified above, the | |
| provides the new value to be set. If not supplied, it is defaulted. See |
| Table 5"7 for the possible |
| associated with each PAR# entry. |
option | •P" or •T" may be entered for NOVRAM"stored parameters (PAR# |
| integers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 9). |
| If P is entered, the parameter specified by PAR# is modified in both RAM |
| and NOVRAM. Because the NOVRAM value is modified, the change is |
| •permanent". |
| If T is entered, the parameter is modified in RAM only. This change is |
| •temporary" because NOVRAM contents are not affected. T is the default |
| entry if option is not specified. |
| Note that parameters never stored in NOVRAM (for example, File Server |
| Station Address, PAR# = 10) are not permanent regardless of the option |
| specified and will be lost if the Node Manager software is terminated. |
LU# | This is the Logical Unit number that identifies the LANIC card through |
| which a command is transmitted and from which a response is received. |
| LU# is a number in the range 2 to 255 (decimal) established during system |
| generation; hence, it always applies to a local LANIC card. See Table 5"1 |
| for default values. |
