| Address key | X.25 Virtual Circuit | In the network directory, the |
| | Configuration | name of each node listed in the |
| | | remote node name field. HP |
| | | recommends that you use the node |
| | | portion of the remote node's |
| | | node name as the address key. |
| | | |
| Card number | X.25 Configuration | Slot number of the DTC/X.25 |
| | | Network Access card. |

| DTC node name | X.25 Configuration | Node name of the DTC in the form |
| | | node.domain.organization. Must |
| | | agree with node name configured |
| | | through during configuration of |
| | | the datacommunications and |

| | | each DTC/X.25 network access |
| | | card that allows |
| | | system-to-system connections. |
| | | |
| Enable ethernet/ | LAN Configuration | Both ethernet and IEEE802.3 are |
| Enable IEEE802.3 | | enabled by default. You may |
| | | disable one or the other but not |
| | | both (one must be enabled). To |
| | | disable either ethernet or |
| | | IEEE802.3, enter an N (no) in |
| | | the field next to the enable |

| IP address | LAN Configuration; | The internet protocol (IP) |
| | FDDI Configuration; | address is an address of a node |
| | Token Ring | on a network. |
| | Configuration; | |
| | Point-to-Point | There are two methods of |
| | Configuration; X.25 | entering an internet protocol |
| | Configuration | (IP) address within NMMGR: |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | 1. Enter the fully qualified |
| | | IP address (for example, |
| | | Class C, C 192.191.191 |
| | | 009) |
| | | |
| | | OR |
| | | |
| | | 2. Enter only the network |
| | | (nnn) and node (xxx) |
| | | portions of the IP |
| | | address as four positive |
| | | integers between 0 and |
| | | 255 separated by periods |
| | | or blanks (for example, |
| | | 15.123.44.98). |
| | | |
| | | You need not enter the |
| | | following items as NMMGR |
| | | will fill these in: |
| | | |
| | | - Class A, B, C |
| | | |
| | | - Leading zeros for the |
| | | network and node portion |
| | | of the IP address. |
| | | |
| | | All nodes on the same network |
| | | must use the same class of IP |
| | | address. The network portion of |
| | | the address must be the same for |
| | | all nodes on the same network. |
| | | |
| IP subnet mask | LAN Configuration; | The IP subnet mask is optional. |
| | FDDI Configuration; | An IP subnet mask is specified |
| | Token Ring | in the same format as an IP |
| | Configuration; | address. The mask identifies |
| | Point-to-Point | which bits of an IP address will |
| | Configuration; X.25 | be used to define a subnetwork. |
| | Configuration | For more information refer, to |
| | | the configuration chapter for |
| | | the type of link you are |
| | | configuring. |

| | Configuration; X.25 | letter. The maximum number of |
| | Configuration; X.25 | NIs that can be configured on a |
| | Virtual Circuit | node is 12. If a node |
| | Configuration | interfaces to more than one |
| | | network, give each NI on that |
| | | node a unique name. You will |
| | | use the NI name with the |
| | | NETCONTROL command to start the |
| | | transport and network link. |

| | | The default is 56000. |
| | | |
| Type | Point-to-Point | Enter DD (direct dial) if you |
| | Configuration | always want to call the same |
| | | host over a dial link. If you |
| | | choose DD the remote host does |
| | | not have to be adjacent and |
| | | other nodes can be accessed |
| | | through the remote host. Enter |
| | | SD if you want to call more than |
| | | one adjacent remote node over a |
| | | dial link without reconfiguring. |
| | | If you choose SD, no other |
| | | remote nodes can be accessed |
| | | through the remote host; it is |
| | | an end point in the connection. |
