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.
