are enclosed in brackets immediately following the prompt.

Use the add command to add an end station. The router is, by default the primary
end station. If you do not use this command and if you configured an SDLC station

following defaults to the station:
vMaximum BTU is maximum allowable by the interface
vTx and Rx Windows are 7 for MOD 8, 127 for MOD 128
If the defaults are satisfactory, you do not need to add SDLC station.
