NODE ADDRESS | To set a locally administered address for the adapter, type the local address you want to | |||
| use. The local address must contain 12 hexadecimal characters and can be specified in | |||
| either | |||
| specify an MSB node address, the letter Mimmediately follows the last digit of the node | |||
| address. To specify an LSB node address, the letter L immediately follows the last digit of | |||
| the node address. | |||
| If a node address is specified in MSB format, the characters must be within the range | |||
| ||||
| “M” to the end of the address (for example, 400000000001M). This address specified in LSB | |||
| format would be X'020000000080L'. | |||
|
|
| Attention |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| Do not assign the same local address to two or more stations. Severe station | ||
|
| communication or network failures may occur when two or more stations are assigned | ||
|
| the same address. | ||
|
|
| ||
| Note: If you do not assign a locally administered address, the adapter uses the universally | |||
| administered address (the address encoded in the adapter memory at the factory). The | |||
| universally administered address appears on a label on the adapter. See Figure 2 on | |||
| page 44 for an illustration. | |||
|
|
|
|
|
SLOT | This keyword defines the slot number of the corresponding adapter in the computer. Slots | |||
must be assigned sequentially. This assignment is used to avoid conflict with other adapters. Valid values: 10001 or 10002
The default value is 10001.
