Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
Use NMMGR to enter asynchronous device configuration information into the
network management configuration file (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS). A step-by-step
procedure for updating the host's network management configuration file
follows.
NOTE Before modifying the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file, make a backup copyof
it. If the modifications made to the configuration file are
successful, purge the backup copy.
Step 1: Begin the Configuration Process
Run the NMMGR program.Node manager (NM) and network administrator (NA)
capabilities are required to run this program. To run NMMGR, enter the
following command at the MPE prompt and then press the [Return] key.
NMMGR.PUB.SYS
NOTE You must be logged on to the SYS account to run NMMGR.
Step 2: Open the Network Management Configuration File
The Open Configuration/Directory File screen is displayed (see Figure 5-1
). This screen lets you specify the configuration and backup file
names.
Figure 5-1. Open Configuration/Directory Screen
Follow the steps listed here to enter data for this screen. Refer to
"Fields" subsection on the next page for detailed information about each
field on the screen.
1. NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
is the name required by the software. Verify that this name is
displayed in the Configuration file name field.
2. Verify that the name of the correct backup configuration file is
in the Configuration file name field. The default is
NMCBACK.group.account.
3. Press the [Open Config] function key.
4. If the configuration file you are opening does not exist, the
following message will appear on the message line at the top of
the screen:
Config file does not exist; press Open Config again to create it.
Press the [Open Config] key again to confirm the creation of the file you
specified.
Fields
Configuration file The only valid configuration file name the system
name recognizes for use by the network subsystem is
NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
You can create or modify a configuration file using
a different name and save it as an offline
configuration file. You can use offline
configuration files as a means of creating and
storing configurations that you want to use in the
future. When you are ready to use an offline
configuration file, rename it as NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS,
validate within NMMGR (SYSGEN cross-validation is
done automatically within NMMGR), and reboot the
system or perform a DTS shutdown/restart
(see chapter 4 for more information on DTS
shutdown/restart).
Backup configuration A backup file name must be specified whenever a
file name configuration file is opened or created.The default
backup configuration file name is NMCBACK.PUB.SYS.
The backup file will be automatically updated with
the contents of the configuration file each time
the configuration file is successfully validated.
Network directory The Network directory filemust be configured for
file name each new X.25 node (unless you will only be
accessing the node using direct level 3 access).
This field is only used for X.25 network
management. The network directory contains
information that one X.25 node needs in order to
communicate with other X.25 nodes. The only
network directory file name supported by HP is
NSDIR.NET.SYS.
Write access The passwordis an optional feature. If a password
password has been assigned, you must enter it in the
password field to update the configuration file.
It is possible to open the file without using an
assigned password, but the file will be in read
only mode and NMMGR will not accept any changes.
If a password has not been assigned, you should
ignore the password field. If you want to assign a
password for the system you are configuring,
refer to Using the Node Management Services
(32022-90041).
Step 3: Configure the Local Node Name
The Main screen is displayed after you press the [Open Config] key (see
Figure 5-2 ). This screen lets you specify the HP 3000 host's name.
It also asks whether you are using the HP 3000 host or an OpenView
Windows Workstation (PC) for DTC management, and if you are using X.25 or
PAD.
Figure 5-2. Main Screen
1. Assign a node name to the HP 3000 host in the "local HP 3000 node
name" field. Use the format nodename.domain.organization.
If your HP 3000 host is the only computer in your network, you may
enter any node name. If you have several computers on your
network, you must make sure the node names for each host are
unique. Refer to chapter 2 for more information on node name.
2. In the field after the question, "Are you using the OpenView DTC
Manager?", enter an N.
This means that you will not use the OpenView DTC Manager (that
is, use a PC to manage your DTCs). Instead, you will use the HP
3000 host to manage your DTCs.
If you specify "Y" for using OpenView DTC Manager refer to chapter
6, "Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)."
3. In the field after the question, "Do you have X.25
system-to-system or PAD connections?", enter an N for no.
If you have X.25, refer to the Configuring and Managing Host-Based
X.25 Links manual.
4. After you enter the information on the screen, press the [Save
Data] function key to save your entries.
5. After the data is saved (the Data flag in the upper right-hand
corner is Y), press the [DTS] function key.
Step 4: Configure the Link
The Host Configuration screen is displayed when you press the [DTS]
function key at the Main screen (see Figure 5-3 ).
This screen is used to configure the Datacommunications and Terminal
Subsystem (DTS) on the HP 3000. DTS defines the interaction between the
system and any asynchronous devices, such as terminals and printers.
Figure 5-3. Host Configuration Screen (Host-Based)
1. "Local HP 3000 node name" is a display-only field. Verify that it
is correct.
2. The "Link name" field displays DTSLINK.This is used by the HP 3000
DTS subsystem. Use this default.
3. In the "Physical path of LANIC" field, type the slot number for
the LANIC cardin the host.
See the list on the next page for commonly used slot numbers.
4. Press the [Save Data] function key.
Press the [Go to DTC] function key to proceed to step 5: Select
DTC Type.
Go to UserPort
The [Go To UserPort] key is used to configure the user port (default ldev
21) on the NIO console. Pressing this key takes you to the HP Support
Modem Port Screen for configuring the ldev, the line speed, modem type,
and parity of the user port. The configuration of user port is only
supported for the NIO LAN console card (for example, HP 3000 Series 9X7
and 9X7 LX). Refer to "How Operation Modes Set Functionality" in chapter
9 for more information on the user port.
Go to UPS Port
The [Go To UPS Port] key takes you to the Uninterruptible Power Supply
Port Screen. This screen is used to configure the ldev number, line
speed, and parity on a port of the SCSI/Console LAN card (default ldev
22) to support an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connection. This
port is only available and supported on HP 3000 Series 9X8 systems.
Refer to "How Operation Modes Set Functionality" in chapter 9 and to
Performing System Manager Tasks (32650- 90004) for more information on
the UPS.
A UPS can also be connected to a DTC port via a configuration process
that does NOT use the [Go To UPS Port] key. Refer to "How Operation
Modes Set Functionality" in chapter 9 for information on how to connect a
UPS to a DTC port.
NOTE You can type "help whatsnew" at the command line of this screen for
more information on DTS dynamic and automatic configuration
capabilities. You can also refer to chapters 3 and 4 for more
information on how to perform an automatic and dynamic
configuration, respectively.
Fields
Physical path of This is the location of the DTS LANIC in the
LANIC system's backplane.
The default physical path (slot numbers) for HP
3000 computers are listed below. These defaults
optimize performance and use of the computer's
cabinet space. Before moving the LANIC into
another slot, consult an HP representative.

Step 5: Select DTC Type
The DTC Configuration Selection screen (see Figure 5-4 ) is displayed
when you press the [Go To DTC] key at the Host Configuration screen.
Here you specify the type of DTC to configure. You can also trigger the
process to automaticallyadd and configure a new DTC without needing to
specify detailed configuration information. See chapter 3, section
entitled "Performing an Automatic Configuration Inside NMMGR" for
instructions on triggering the automatic configuration process.
Figure 5-4. DTC Configuration Selection Screen
1. Select the DTC type by pressing one of the function keys:
[DTC16iX], [DTC16MX/ RX], [DTC16], [DTC48], or [DTC72MX].
NMMGR will take you to the configuration screen for the specified
DTC type.
NOTE You may use the [List DTCs] key on the DTC Configuration Selection
Screen to see a list of all DTC names configured on your system.
Step 6: specify DTC Configuration
The DTC Configuration screen is displayed after you select the DTC type
at the DTC Configuration Selection screen. Figure 5-5 shows the DTC
Configuration screen for a DTC 72MX. (DTC Configuration screens for DTC
16iX, DTC 16MX/RX, DTC 16, and DTC 48 vary slightly).
Figure 5-5. DTC Configuration Screen
1. Enter the DTC's name in the "DTC name" field.
The DTC namecan be up to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning
with a letter. The DTC name must be unique on the system. It is
acceptable (and common) to use the nodename part of the DTC node
name as the DTC name. See step 3 below for more information.
2. Enter the DTC's LAN addressin the "DTC LAN station address" field.
The LAN address can be found on a label inside the front cover or
on the back panel of the actual DTC box.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, use the value 00-00-00-00-00-00 as the DTC
16RX LAN address. Configuration of the DTC 16RX on the HP 9000
host using DTC 16RX Manageruses the DTC's IP address and not its
LAN address.
3. Type in the DTC's node namein the "DTC node name" field.
Use the format
nodename.domain.organization, where nodename identifies the DTC.
If there is more than one DTC on the network, the nodename of each
DTC must be unique. The following are examples of valid DTC node
names on the same network:
Table 5-3.
------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | ALPHA.ACCTG.TEKLAB |
| | |
------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | BETA.ACCTG.TEKLAB |
| | |
------------------------------------------------
Note that "DTC name" and "DTC node name" are two different fields.
However, it is acceptable (and common) to use the nodename part of
the "DTC node name" as the "DTC name", such as:
Table 5-4.
------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | DTC name = ALPHA |
| | |
------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | DTC node name = ALPHA.ACCTG.TEKLAB |
| | |
------------------------------------------------
4. (Optional) Enter an IP address for the DTC, if you want this DTC
to be able to respond to PING/iX requests.Otherwise, leave the
"DTC IP Address" field blank.
For DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment, the IP address of the DTC 16RX is
configured using the DTC 16RX Manageron the HP 9000 host and not
on the HP 3000. Any value entered in this field for the DTC 16RX
will be ignored.
Refer to chapter 2 for more information on IP addresses.
5. Enable the event logging classesthat you want. It is recommended
that you enable classes 2 and 3 and disable classes 4 through 6.
See "DTC Event Logging" in chapter 2 for information on these
event logging classes. Note that logging class 1 is not
configurable and is always enabled.
Event logging classes do not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP
3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment; any values
entered in these fields for the DTC 16RX will be ignored.
6. Verify that the cursor is in the "Type" field under "Enter card
types as installed in the DTC." Enter the card type for each card
in the DTC The valid card types are listed on the screen.
Note that DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX does not have cards since its port
connectors are built directly onto the DTC backplane.
Refer to chapter 2 for more information on card types for each
DTC.
7. Press the [Save Data] function key.
8. To configure a card in the DTC, enter the number of the card you
want to configure in the "To configure a card, enter a card
number..." field at the bottom of the screen. The desired card
number must have a valid card type entered in the "type" field.
Press the [Config Card] function key. Proceed to step 7:
Configure DTC Cards.
To configure the ports on a DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX, simply press the
[Config Ports] function key. Proceed to step 7: Configure DTC
Cards.
9. Repeat steps 1 through 8 above for every newly-added DTC to be
managed by the HP 3000 host. If you want to select a DTC that has
already been configured, enter the DTC's name in the DTC name
field and press the [Read DTC] function key.
Next Key Labels
When the [Next Key Labels] key is pressed, another set of key labels are
displayed, this allows additional optional information to be configured
for the DTC. These keys provide access to the following configuration
screens:
DNS/IP Routing This key goes to a screen used to configure the DTC
to use Domain Name Services for IP address
resolution and IP routing configuration. These
services are configured when back-to- back
connection through routers are used or connections
are to be made from DTC ports to HP 9000s or third
party ARPA nodes. See chapter 8 for steps to do
this.
Tune DTC This key goes to a screen to change the AFCP, TCP
and management timers for the DTC, if needed.
Refer to chapter 8 for steps to do this.
DTC U I This key goes to a screen that has information that
defines how the DTC user interface behaves. The
DTC user interface is used when a DTC port is
configured as a switched port. See Introduction
(chapter 1) for a description of how switching is
used and chapter 7 for a description of how to
configure ports to allow switching.
Config SNMP You may use the [Config SNMP] key on the DTC Screen
to configure the DTC to act as an SNMP agent. This
key goes to a screen to configure the DTC to act as
an SNMP agent. Refer to appendix C for steps to do
this. Refer to the DTC Technical Reference Guide
manual for more information on SNMP.
Step 7: Configure DTC Cards
When you press the [Config Card] key at the DTC Configuration screen,
NMMGR will display the corresponding card configuration screen for the
specified card in the DTC. Figure 5-6 shows an example of a Card
Configuration screen for DTC 72MX for asynchronous connect card.
(Screens vary slightly for DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX, DTC 16, and DTC 48).
The corresponding screen for a DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX is called a Port
Configuration Screen since DTC 16iX/16MX/16RX has port connectors built
directly onto the backplane and does not have connector cards.
Use this screen to configure the ports in the specified card.On this
screen, logical device (ldev) numbers and profile names are associated
with individual ports on the card.
Figure 5-6. DTC Card Configuration Screen
1. Verify that the DTC name and card number displayed are correct.
2. (Optional) Enter the port group type. The valid types are D for
direct connect and M for modem connect.The default is D.
3. Press the [Tab] key to move the cursor to the first port on the
card. Enter an ldev numberfor this port in the "Ldev" field.
Ldev numbers used for each port on the DTC must be unique.
For example, you can use ldev number 100 for port 0 of the first
card, and increment the ldev number by 1 for each consecutive
port.
So a DTC 72MX with 3 asynchronous cards (a total of 72 ports)
would be assigned ldev numbers 100 through 123 for the 24 ports on
the first card, 124 through 147 for the ports on the second card
and 148 through 171 for the ports on the third card.
For the second DTC, you would start with an ldev number greater
than 171.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE Pressing the [Show Ldevs] key will display a list of all the
ldev numbers configured in NMMGR in addition to the DTC
name, card type, and profile name.
_________________________________________________________________
4. Enter the profile namefor each port in the "Profile Name" field.
A profile for the port defines the characteristics of the device
to be connected to that port.
For direct terminals ports, the suggested profile to use is
TR10D96.For direct printer ports, the suggested profile to use is
PR18D96 (or PR22D24 for HP printers with status checking). For a
UPS connected to a DTC port, the suggested profile is UP10D12.
The tables in chapter 7 list terminal, printer and UPS profiles
supplied by the system. You may also create your own profiles.
Refer to chapter 7, "Terminal and Printer Profiles," for more
information on profiles.
5. Repeat above two steps for every port in this card.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE To reduce typing ldev numbers and profiles on the screen,
you can use the [Fill Card] key to automatically assign ldev
numbers and profile names. First, enter an ldev number (and
profile name if you do not wish to use the default profile
name) for port 0, then press [Fill Card]; the system will
automatically assign incremental ldev numbers to each
subsequent port on the screen and copy the specified profile
for each port. The system will automatically save the data
it has entered.
The [Clear Display] key on your keyboard will clear the part
of your screen that is below the cursor position. You may
use this key and the [Fill Card] key to quickly modify a
screen.
_________________________________________________________________
6. Press the [Save Data] function key to save the data on the screen.
_________________________________________________________________
CAUTION Before you exit this screen, make sure you press [Save
Data] if you want to keep the data on the screen;
otherwise your screen input will be lost. This occurs
even if you temporarily exit the screen to read [Help]
information.
_________________________________________________________________
7. To configure another card, enter the card number you want to
configure in the field "To configure a different card, enter its
number,..." . The desired card number must have already been
configured in the previous section, "Step 6: Specify DTC
Configuration." The card is configured if a valid card type is
entered in the "Type" field on the previous DTC configuration
screen.
8. Press the [Config Card] function key. The corresponding screen
for the card number entered in the last step will be displayed.
9. If all the cards have been configured, press the [Prior Screen]
function key to return to the DTC Configuration Selection screen
to select another DTC to configure. Otherwise, if every DTC has
been configured, press the [Validate DTS/LINK] function key to
validate the configuration file.
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE NMMGR allows the configuration of up to 4649 terminal I/O
devices. The largest valid ldev number allowed is 4679.
_________________________________________________________________
Step 8: Validate/Cross-Validate the Configuration File
Validation ensures that no conflicts exist in the network configuration
file (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS)
between the DTCs and other configuration parameters. After NMMGR
validates the network configuration file, it will automatically
cross-validate
the file with the system I/O devices configured through the SYSGEN
utility. This will take place only if the file opened at the start of
the NMMGR session is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
and validation is successful. Additionally, you must have System Manager
(SM) capability or the cross- validation will not occur. The commands
used for SYSGEN cross-validation are in the file NMGRXVAL.PUB.SYS. If
this file does not exist, NMMGR will create the file for you before
cross-validating. You can edit this file as appropriate for your
environment.
Refer to the MPE/iX manual, System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown
Reference Manual (32650-90042), for information on SYSGEN.
1. To validate the configuration file, press the [Validate DTS/LINK]
key at the Card Configuration Screen, or type validate at the
command line on top of any NMMGR screen and press [Enter]. (Note
that the [Enter] key is not the carriage return key.)
The DTS validationprocedure starts by displaying the following on
the terminal:
Table 5-5.
--------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | -> Validation of DTS/LINK started. <- |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| | -> Validation of DTS/LINK finished. <- |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------
If errors were encountered in the configuration file, the
validation procedure will print out the total number of errors
found. Error messages will also be displayed explaining the
problems found. Refer to appendix D, "Error Messages," for more
information about these error messages.
2. After validation of the network configuration file is complete,
the following will appear on the screen as the file is
cross-validated with the files created with SYSGEN (warning
messages may vary):
Table 5-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. After successful validation and cross-validation, and if the file
in use is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, the following prompt will appear:
Table 5-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Do you want DTS changes to become active now (Y/N)? |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Y = | all changes made take effect now |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| N = | all changes made will take effect upon next |
| | dynamic configuration or system reboot |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| H = | help |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| > |
| |
---------------------------------------------------------------
Answer Y if you want to invoke DTCCNTRL and make DTS changes take
effect now, or answer N if you don't want DTS changes to take
effect now. Note any messages that describe additional actions
needed for changes to become active. After you exit NMMGR you can
review any actions needed by viewing the logs at the end of the
file LOGDCC.PUB.SYS.
If you answer N, the DTS changes will take effect the next time
DTCCNTRL is invoked, a DTS shutdown/restart is done, or the system
is rebooted.
Type H if you need more help to answer the question. See chapter
4 for more information on dynamic configuration.
4. After viewing the messages describing what actions are required,
if any, enter [RETURN] when you see the prompt:
(Press RETURN when finished viewing screen contents.)
You will return to the Validation screen. You may make additional
configuration changes or exit NMMGR.
Step 9: Ensure DTS Changes Become Active
If you answered Y to the question "Do you want DTS changes to become
active now (Y/N)?" in step 8, refer to Table 4-1 in chapter 4 for a
list of configuration tasks and associated actions for changes to become
active. For those tasks indicating "No action; changes take effect
dynamically," no additional actions are required for the DTS changes to
