Defining the HP 3000 System 

The following configuration parameters are required to define the HP 3000
hostfor asynchronous device connections.

Local HP 3000 Node    The name by which the HP 3000 Series 900 computer
Name                  is known in your network.The format of a node name
                      is nodename.domain.organization, where each field
                      can contain 16 or fewer characters (alphanumeric,
                      underscores, or hyphens).  The first character of
                      each field must be alphabetic.  For example:
                      ACCOUNTS.MKT2.HP.

Are You Using         Determines the method to be used for network
OpenView DTC          management.  If the answer is YES then the system
Manager?              will be configured using PC-based network
                      management.  If the answer is NO, then the system
                      will be configured using host-based network
                      management.

Link Name             The link name that will be used by the HP 3000's
                      Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS)
                      when device connections are established.It must
                      start with a letter and can be up to eight
                      alphanumeric characters.  DTSLINK is the default
                      and should be used for your DTS configuration.

Physical Path of      The location of the LANIC (LAN Interface Controller
LANIC (Slot # of      Card) in the system's backplane.The LANIC is an
LANIC Card)           input/output (I/O) card that plugs into the Channel
                      I/O Bus (CIB) (or the HP Precision Bus for NIO
                      LANICs) of the HP 3000 computer.  The location
                      (slot number) of the LANIC within the cabinet must
                      be specified.

                      The default physical paths (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.
