You must assign a link number to each link on your network (Figure 2.6).
This includes:
Each Data Highway II Link
Each Data Highway Plus Link in a Bridge Configuration
Data Highway Plus links that are not part of a bridge configuration do not
need a link number. The Data Highway Plus nodes can be treated as users
attached to the 1779-KP5.
