N_STANUM( [ <nStation> ] )


Parameters

<nStation>
Current station number (1-255).


Returns

Network       Return value
Novell        Returns the current logical station number (connection), 
              1-255. This reflects the order in which stations connect 
              to the network. It may change if a station disconnects 
              and reconnects again.

Banyan        Return the number assigned by the STANUM environment
NetBIOS       variable.


Description

Use N_ADDR() to obtain the physical station number. 
N_STANUM(<nStation>) provides an alternate method for configuring 
NetLib for Banyan VINES and NetBIOS-compatible networks. See Appendix A 
for a detailed discussion of configuration.
