NAME
       li - Interphase 5515 ATM Lan Emulation (LANE) STREAMS Driver

SYNOPSIS
       /dev/li

DESCRIPTION
       The li is a STREAMS driver works in conjunction with the ia
       Interphase 5515 ATM device driver to provide LAN Emulation (LANE)
       support as specified in ATM Forum's "LAN Emulation Over ATM
       Specification".  The li driver is a STREAMS multiplexer providing
       DLPI style 2 support.  The li driver provides the appearance of
       connectionless service including multicast and broadcast operations.
       li is I_LINKED over the ia Interphase 5515 ATM STREAMS device driver
       by the lanesetup utility.

       In order to use the LANE STREAMS driver both li and ia must be
       configured into your system.  li is configured into your system by
       adding li() to the DG/UX system configuration file.  (See the ia(7)
       man page for details on how to configure ia into your system.)  After
       ia and li are configured into your system, you must specify the LANE
       interface in the /etc/tcpip.params file. This is done by specifying
       the interface to be liN where N is the PPA (Physical Point of
       Attachment) used by atmbind and is also used in specifying which
       lecconf file is to be used by lec.  (See atmbind(1m) and lec(1m) for
       more details.)  LAN Emulation required the signalling deamon signald
       to be running in order to function properly.


       For information about installing the software distribution, refer to
       the R4.11MU03 Release Notice.


EXAMPLE
       The following is an example of specifying the interface host-lane
       will be a LANE type connection for PPA 0.

       HOSTNAME=host-lane DEVICE=li0 NETMASK=0xffffff00
       BROADCAST=128.222.5.255

NOTES
       The li driver can not function alone.  It requires services provided
       by ia(7).
