Note
Modification of NOVRAM data (that is, option = P) should be minimized. Due to physical properties of the NOVRAM, there is a finite number of times that its bit cells can undergo a change. This number is on the order of 1000 changes and should not pose a serious limitation. However, it is conceivable that useful NOVRAM life may be exceeded. (For NOVRAM replacement information, refer to the HP 12076A LAN/1000 Link Local Area Network Inter face Controller (LANIC) Installation Manual, part number 12076"90001.)
Whenever node or network configuration changes are made, attention to administrative controls is recommended. For example, if the NOVRAM's Station Address is changed, the NOVRAM should be relabeled to indicate the new Station Address. Also, node or network logbooks should be updated to reflect any changes.
Because the UC and SC commands serve similar functions, refer to the •Set Link Configuration Command (SC)" paragraphs for a discussion of Station Address, Download Server Station Address, and File Server Station Address considerations.
During an interactive UC command session, an existing configuration parameter value is displayed, and the user is prompted for a new value. (See the SC command description, Table 5"7, for possible parameter values.)
Note
The Save Bad Packet configuration requires •Y" or •N" responses instead of •1" or •0", respectively.
If a new value is desired, it is entered; if no change is desired, nothing is entered. On carriage return (pressing the <RETURN> key), the next parameter is displayed and the process repeats until all configuration parameters are considered.
New configuration parameters are not actually implemented until the UC command's interactive session ends normally. The session may be aborted by pressing the <CNTL> and •D" keys simultaneously. Parameters entered during an aborted UC command session are invalid and will not reconfigure the target node.
