HP3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide
To Use NMMGRVER
To use the NMMGRVER utility to merge your NS3000/V configuration file
with the NS3000/iX NMCONFIG file and convert it for use with release 2.0
or later, proceed as follows:
1. At the MPE/iX prompt, type:
NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS
2. Merge your NS X.25 3000/XL Server NSCONF file with the existing
NS3000/XL NMCONFIG file, and convert it for use with NS3000/iX
release 2.0 or later by entering a file name, for example:
NSCONF1.PUB.SYS.
a. Enter Y to proceed when prompted.
b. Select type 1 for NSCONF type file.
NMMGRVER will merge the contents of the existing NMCONFIG file
with the NSCONF file you specified. It will be saved in the
NSCONF file you specified. In this example, NSCONF1.
3. If you converted more than one NSCONF file, decide which one will
be the network configuration you want on the NS3000/iX system.
Rename the file to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
To Update X.25 XL System Access Parameters
On the NS3000/iX host, use NMMGR to change the following parameters to
provide X.25 XL System Access:
* If migrating from any NS3000/V release before release V delta 7,
modify the screen at path @NETXPORT.NI.niname.PROTOCOL.X25to
change the inactivity timer from minutes to seconds.
* On the screen with the path @LINK, verify that the DTSLINK is
defined.
* On the screen with the path @LINK.DTSLINK, verify that the
physical path is correctly defined.
* On the screen with the path @LINK, add the LINK name and Type
(X25) of the X25 link. Note: to migrate to NS3000/iX release 2.2
or later, repeat this step and steps 5 through 7 for each DTC/X.25
Network Access card.
* On the screen with the path @LINK.linkname, where the LINK name is
the one added in the previous step, add the DTC Node name and card
number for the DTC/X.25 Network Access card.
* On the screen with the path @NETXPORT.NI.niname.LINK, add the LINK
name entered in Step 4.
* On the screen with the path @NETXPORT.NI.niname.LINK.linkname,
answer yes or no; then, press the Update key.
To Save X.25 XL System Access Parameters on the Host
Make a list of the following X.25 XL System Access Parameters on the host
that must be re-entered on the DTC.
* Local Node Name.
* Link Name (the X25 link, not the DTSLINK).
* DTC Node Name.
* DTC Card Number.
* X.25 User Facility Set Parameters.
To Add Other Link Types As Needed
For LAN and point-to-point link types, run NMMGR and add the physical
paths. See sections in this manual for the correct values to be entered
for the physical path.
To Verify DTS Configuration on the Host
If the datacommunications and terminal subsystem (DTS) has not been
configured, configure the DTS parameters on the host according to the
requirements of your network. For more information, refer to Getting
Started with the DTC and Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and
Other Serial Devices if you are using PC-based network management. Refer
to Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links if you are using
host-based network management.
