In Example 1, the first Read Link Configuration command determines that a File Server Node is not configured for node 08"00"09"00"02"00. This is indicated by the response (all zeros).

The next command, CD, results in the creation of a Link File directory named ADDR080009000200. This directory is contained in the root directory, FILES802, on a File Server Node (08"00"09"00"02"5A).

Note

Node Manager software will not allow the creation of a duplicate Link File directory on the same File Server Node. However, a Link File directory for a given node may exist on separate File Server Nodes. The one accessed will depend on the File Server Station Address configured.

Although its Link File directory now exists, another RC command shows that the location of this directory is not configured on the node.

Using the SC command, the File Server Station Address is configured and identifies the node's File Server Node.
