Configuring the SNA Node and Link
If the PSI is in slot 6, the Physical Path is 24
(4 multiplied by 6).
Example:
• If two card cages are present:
PathNumber/
(
4 X SlotNumber
)
where (a)
PathNumber
is a number corresponding to
the card cage the PSI is in:
Card cage 0:
PathNumber
= 2 Card cage 1:
PathNumber
= 6
(b) / is the slash character (
not
the division sign), (c)
the parentheses are used to set off the arithmetic
formula (they are
not
entered as part of the
Physical Path value), (d) X is the multiplication
sign (
not
the character “X”), and (e)
SlotNumber
is
the number of the slot, within the card cage, the PSI
is in.
Examples:
If the PSI is in card cage 0, slot number 4, the
Physical Path is
2/16
(
PathNumber
, slash character, 4 multiplied by 4).
If the PSI is in card cage 1, slot number 3, the
Physical Path is
6/12
(
PathNumber
, slash character, 4 multiplied by 3).
