HP3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide

Chapter 4  Planning for Node Configuration 

This chapter describes how to complete node worksheets before you start
configuration.  You will need to collect some information ahead of time
to complete these tasks.

The main purpose of the node worksheets is to determine the information
you will need to configure for each node during NMMGR's guided
configuration.  This information depends on the type of network you have.
For a description of the fields in these worksheets, see chapter 6 for
information on LAN, token ring, and FDDI, and chapters 7 and 8 for
information on point-to-point and X.25 respectively.

It is recommended that you make copies of these worksheets and fill in
the parameter information, then use these worksheets to guide you through
configuration in NMMGR.

Node worksheets list only the fields you can configure during guided
configuration, which allows you to configure your nodes as quickly as
possible.  For information on configuration parameters that are available
through non-guided configuration, see the NS3000/iX NMMGR Screens 
Reference Manual.
