Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices

Plan the Network 

Before configuration can begin, the physical layout and configuration
parameters for the systems, the DTCs, the OpenView Windows Workstation,
and the connected devices on the LAN must be defined.This information
must be translated into terms that the MPE/iX operating system can
understand and use.

For example, a node name for the system must be indicated and a link name
must be specified.  Additionally, the physical path for the LANIC must be
identified.  Each DTC needs a name and the devices connected to it will
have characteristics associated with them.

Once this information is entered in the configuration file
(NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS), the system can communicate with each device connected
to the DTC. 
HP 3000 Series 900 uses a utility called NMMGRto enter configuration
information into the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file.

On the pages that follow, information and worksheets are provided to help
define these required configuration parameters. 

Figure 2-1  shows the parameters needed for configuration of
asynchronous device connections.  (A DTC 48 is shown in the example.)
