Configuring a Gateway Half

Configure a Gatehalf Network Interface

Link name

Name that represents the hardware link. The link name can have up to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be alphabetic. The link name must be unique to both the node and the network.

Link type

The link type for a gateway half can be either DD for direct dial or DC for direct connect.

physical path

The physical path number corresponds to the slot location of a node’s programmable serial interface (PSI) card or, Advanced Communication Controller (ACC) for N 4000 and A500 systems. Recommended slot locations and physical path calculations vary according to the type of HP e3000 system you are running.

For the various platforms, physical path syntax (examples only) look like:

Series 9x7:

48

PSI

Series 9x8:

56/44

PSI

Series 9x9:

10/4/16

PSI

Series 99x:

0/28/12

PSI

Series N 4000:

1/10/0/1.7

ACC

Series A500:

0/2/0/1.4

ACC

If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical path number to configure for your system, run the offline ODE MAPPER utility, see your system documentation, or consult your Hewlett-Packard service representative.

Transmission speed

The line transmission speed is given in bits per second. For direct connect the value, must be supported by both adapter and cable. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, and 64000. The default is 56000.
