Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices

Chapter 6  Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management 

This chapter describes NMMGR configuration steps that you need to perform
for PC-based management 
(that is, when the DTCs are managed by an OpenView Windows Workstation).
For information on configuring for host-based management, refer to
chapter 5.


NOTE  If you are configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP 3000
      Series 900 computer using host-based network management, use
      Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links instead of this
      manual to configure DTCs and DTC connections.


If you are using PC-based management to manage your DTCs, most of the
configuration is done on the OpenView DTC Manager.

However, you still need to use NMMGR to configure the following
information:

   *   DTS information on the HP 3000, such as:  the HP 3000's node name,
       the link name, and the physical path of the LANIC (the slot number
       where the LAN Interface Card resides on the HP 3000). 

   *   The maximum number of devices that can log onto the HP 3000 system
       at one time.

   *   DTC information.  For each DTC with nailed ports that will
       communicate with the HP 3000, you need to configure DTC
       information in NMMGR; such as:  DTC name, DTC node name, and types
       of cards in the DTC.

   *   Port configuration for each nailed device, such as printers and
       UPSs, and terminals that will be accessed programmatically. 


NOTE  If you want the current HP 3000 system to be able to accept DTC
      connections through a Telnet Express Server (HP 2344A),that is,
      connections from terminals on systems running ARPA, you must
      configure the profile for the non-nailed terminals to be a modem
      profile.
