Table 11-1 Path Type Conﬁguration

Additional

address A lower-level address, which depends on the type.

Type 1 does not contain lower-level addressing

information. You can leave the ﬁeld blank, or enter the

keyword NONE.

Types 2, 5, 6, and 7 require the destination node’s

station address, which is a string of six hexadecimal

bytes, separated by dashes (XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX).

The station address must correspond to the address

conﬁgured on the remote node.

Type 3 requires an X.25 address key, which is an ASCII

string of up to 15 characters. The X.25 address key

must correspond to an X.25 address key entered in the

NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.X25.SVPATH or the

NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.X25.PVCPATH

screen for the destination node.

Type 4 requires the destination node’s LU name. The

LU name is taken from the host generation ﬁle of the

IBM computer to which this HP 3000 is connected.
