| Proxy node |
| LAN Configuration | The proxy field is optional. Enter Y |

|
|
| (yes) only if your network has |
|
|
|
| internetworks (networks with |
|
|
|
| gateways) or |
|
|
|
| Establishing a proxy node is a way of |
|
|
|
| placing node name and address |
|
|
|
| mapping information in a single |
|
|
|
| location. For more information, see |
|
|
|
| the configuration chapter for LAN |

|
|
| Remote IP address |
| X.25 Virtual Circuit | In the network directory, the IP |
|
|
| Configuration | address of each node listed in the |
|
|
|
| remote node name field. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Remote node name |
| X.25 Virtual Circuit | In the network directory, the name of |
|
|
| Configuration | each remote X.25 node on the network |
|
|
|
| |
| Remote X.25 address | X.25 Virtual Circuit | For SVCs only. In the network | |
|
|
| Configuration | directory, the X.25 address of the |
|
|
|
| remote host for X.25 public data |
|
|
|
| networks or private networks. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Security class |
| X.25 Virtual Circuit | For SVCs only. In the network |
|
|
| Configuration | directory, the security to be applied for |
|
|
|
| connection establishment with the |
|
|
|
| remote node. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Speed |
| The line transmission speed is given | |
|
|
|
| in bits per second. For direct connect |
|
|
|
| the value must be supported by the |
|
|
|
| cable. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800, |
|
|
|
| 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, and |
|
|
|
| 64000. The default is 56000. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Type |
| Enter DD (direct dial) if you always | |
|
|
|
| want to call the same host over a dial |
|
|
|
| link. If you choose DD the remote host |
|
|
|
| does not have to be adjacent and other |
|
|
|
| nodes can be accessed through the |
|
|
|
| remote host. Enter SD if you want to |
|
|
|
| call more than one adjacent remote |
|
|
|
| node over a dial link without |
|
|
|
| reconfiguring. If you choose SD, no |
|
|
|
| other remote nodes can be accessed |
|
|
|
| through the remote host; it is an end |
|
|
|
| point in the connection. Enter DC if |
|
|
|
| the link is a leased line, private line, |
|
|
|
| or other |
