HP UX SNAplus2 Additional Link Station Parameters for Token Ring, FDDI and Ethernet, MACADDR, ADPTADR, SAP number, MAC address

Defining Connectivity Components

Defining Link Stations

By default, the dial string is sent to the modem at the rate of 1200 bits per second (the default baud rate) using asynchronous communications. You can match the baud rate to the modem's baud rate by placing one of the following numbers (enclosed by parentheses) in front of the dial string:

•1 (300 baud)

•2 (600 baud)

•3 (1200 baud)

•4 (2400 baud)

•5 (4800 baud)

•6 (9600 baud)

•7 (19200 baud)

For example, you can specify a 9600 baud rate dial string by entering (6), as follows:

(6)AT &&D3 &&Q1 DT7,012345678

For details of the rest of the dial string, refer to your modem's documentation.

Additional Link Station Parameters for Token Ring, FDDI and Ethernet.

MAC address

The MAC address of the remote station, entered as a series of hexadecimal digits. The MAC address uniquely identifies the adapter card on the remote system.

If you do not know what value to use, consult your SNA network planner.

If the remote end of this link is a VTAM host, you can find its MAC address in the MACADDR= parameter of the VTAM Port definition.

If you are configuring a link to an AS/400 system, the MAC address is the ADPTADR parameter in the Line Description.

SAP number

The SAP number of the port on the remote computer. The SAP number distinguishes between different links using the same adapter card. This is a hex number, normally 04. It must be a multiple of 4.
