Step 1. In the IP address field, enter the internet protocol (IP) address for the node being configured. An example of an address is:

C 192.191.191 009.

Step 2. The IP subnet mask is optional. If entering one, tab to the IP subnet mask field and enter the number in the same format as an IP address.

Step 3. Move to the first Link name field. Enter a link name to represent the DTC/X.25 Network Access card for which you are configuring a link. This name must be unique to both the node and the DTC. It must also be the same as the link name configured for this card when the Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS) was configured.

Step 4. Enter the node name of the DTC that houses the DTC/X.25 Access card in the first DTC Node Name field then enter the slot number of the card in the Card Number field. Enter a link name, DTC node name, and card number for each link you are configuring.
