Data Required from the AS/400 Configuration 

Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information
from the remote AS/400 type 2.1 parameters.  So, before using NMMGR, you
should have certain information from the AS/400 configuration.

The AS/400 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 AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/SDLC node configuration with the AS/400 configuration.  The HP SNA 
Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains this
configuration.

Table 2-8 shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400
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 AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/X.25 node configuration with the AS/400 configuration.  The HP SNA 
Products Remote System Configuration Guide [J2220-61025) explains this
configuration.

Table 2-9 shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400
configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for switched
virtual circuits (SVCs) of an SNA/X.25 link.  Each NMMGR screen field is
described later in this chapter.

SNA/Token Ring Information 

For the AS/400 and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the
SNA/Token Ring node configuration with the AS/400 configuration.  The HP 
SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains
this configuration.

Table 2-10 shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400
configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an
SNA/Token Ring link.  Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this
chapter.

in the Local Control Point Name field.
