NTRI Line

For the specification of the following parameters refer also to Figure 1.

Figure 1. Defining an NCP Line (NTRI)

 NCP$LNK3           HARDWARE CONFIGURATION: DEFINE NCP LINE

 Enter the required data and press ENTER.

Specify the following data for TIC Number 1.

ADDRESS...................... ____        Enter the relative line number of
                                          your Token-Ring Interface Coupler
                                          (TIC). Enter a "?" to get a list with
                                          all valid addresses.
TR ADDRESS OF TIC............ ________    Enter the last 8 digits of the local-
                                          ly  administered address of the TIC.
                                          (LAN address/2).
ADAPTER DEFINITION........... 1           Enter 1 for the token-ring adapter
                                          type 1, 2 for the token-ring adapter
                                          type 2 with a data speed of 4 Mbps
                                          and 3 for the token-ring adapter type
                                          2 with a data speed of 16 Mbps. This
                                          parameter is only valid for the 3745
                                          communication controller.

 PF1=HELP       2=REDISPLAY  3=END

ADDRESS
This is the relative line number of the token-ring interface coupler (TIC). The number identifies the port and line number address at the communication controller. It consists of up to 4 digits. Valid addresses are determined by the type and model of the communication controller and the usage tier installed.
TR ADDRESS OF TIC
This is the right-most part of the TIC's address on the token ring. It is made up of the last eight digits of the locally administered address of the TIC. Its value can range between 0 and 79999999.
ADAPTER DEFINITION
This parameter applies only to the IBM® 3745 communication controller. It specifies the token-ring adapter that is attached to the NTRI physical line and the speed of data on the token ring:

1 -

for the token-ring adapter type 1 which can only be attached to the 4 Mbps token-ring network.

2 -

for a token-ring adapter type 2 that is attached to the 4 Mbps token-ring network.

3 -

for a token-ring adapter type 2 that is attached to the 16 Mbps token-ring network.

After entering the above values (in the Hardware Configuration: Define NCP Line panel), the dialog transfers you back to the Hardware Configuration: NCP Line List panel.

An example of the Hardware Configuration: NCP Line List panel is shown in Figure 2.
