Reconfiguration Guidelines
Once your MPE/V NS configuration files have been converted for use with
the MPE/iX version of NS you will need to reconfigure your network to
account for the implementation differences between NS3000/V and
NS3000/iX. Run the NMMGR utility against the configuration file generated
by the file conversion process and perform the following reconfiguration
tasks:
* Configure the physical path of all links for your network. This
configuration consists of a channel number (ccc) and subchannel
number (sss) in the form ccc.sss. There is no channel or
subchannel associated with NS on MPE V.
* Since the LAP-B protocol is the only point-to-point link-level
protocol supported on the MPE/iX computer, you must reconfigure
links that were configured as bisynchronous links on NS3000/V as
LAP-B links, or remove them from the network configuration.
* Configure the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS) according to
the needs of your installation. Refer to Configuring Systems for
Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices for instructions on
how to configure the DTS.
The above configuration tasks are a general summary of what you will need
to do to reconfigure your network to run on MPE/iX. You should be aware
that there are many changes to individual screens and screen fields.
Refer to this guide for information on individual screens and screen
fields.
