To Validate the Network Transport 

The following procedure assumes that you have already configured and
validated the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS). The DTS must be
validated before you can validate the network transport (Netxport)
software.  Upon configuring the selected screens for your network:

   1.  Press the [Validate Netxport] key.  Refer to table below for a
       list of screens with the Validate Netxport key.  Messages similar
       to the following ones will be displayed:

            Searching for subsystem validation routine VALIDATENETXPOR
             -> VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM STARTED
             ->VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM FINISHED
            Copying validated subsystems to backup configuration file
            (Press RETURN when done viewing screen contents)

   2.  See the NS3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual for explanations
       of any validation errors.  After viewing the messages, press
       [RETURN] to return to the LAN, token ring, and FDDI Configuration
       screen.

   3.  If you need to configure a network directory, proceed to chapter
       11 titled "Configuring the Network Directory".  If you do not need
       to configure the network directory, exit NMMGR, and proceed to the
       section in this chapter titled "To Cross-Validate in SYSGEN." To
       exit NMMGR, press the [Prior Screen] key on successive screens
       until you reach the Open Configuration Directory File screen where
       you should press the [Exit Program] key.
