Data Required from the Host Configuration 

Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information
from the host configuration.  So, before using NMMGR, you should have
certain information from the host configuration.

The host information that corresponds to SNA node configuration
information for SNA/SDLC links, SNA/X.25 links, and SNA/Token Ring links
is described below.

SNA/SDLC Information 

For the host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/SDLC node configuration with the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM host
configurations.  The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide 
(J2220-61025) explains these configurations.  Table 2-1 shows the
relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the
SNA node configuration file for an SNA/SDLC link.  Each NMMGR screen
field is described later in this chapter.

SNA/X.25 Information 

For the host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/X.25 node configuration with the host configuration.  The HP SNA 
Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains this
configuration.

Table 2-2 shows the relationships between items from the host
configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for permanent
virtual circuits (PVCs).  Each NMMGR screen field is described later in
this chapter.

Note that once the facility set to be used by SNA/X.25 Link is specified
in the INDEX operand of the X25.OUFT host macro, it must also be
referenced by the OUFINDX operand of the X25.LINE host macro.

Table 2-5 shows the relationship between items from the host

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE Although it is not an X.25 standard requirement, we recommend that the value specified in the Window Size field match the VWINDOW operand of the X25.VCCPT host macro.
Table 2-6 shows the relationship between items from the host configuration and items in the DTS configuration (for NS host-based network management). The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains the host configuration.
