Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links
Determine X.25 Connection Characteristics
You must define characteristicsfor the X.25 PAD or system-to-system
connections you are configuring. Values need to be configured for each
DTC/X.25 Network Access card mounted in the DTCs for the system you are
configuring.
Whether you are configuring system-to-system, PAD connections, or both,
you will need to define values for levels 1, 2, and 3 of the X.25
network. Most of these values are defined by your X.25 network
subscription and you can transfer these values directly to the DTC X.25
Card Configuration - Level 1 and 2 Worksheet shown in Figure 2-4 and
the DTC X.25 Card Configuration - Level 3 and Miscellaneous Worksheet
shown in Figure 2-5 .
If you are configuring system-to-system connections for an X.25 network,
you will need to define an X.25 link name, the maximum number of SVCs,
and remote X.25 addresses and security designations. Once you have
decided on your system-to-system configuration, you can use the DTC X.25
Card Configuration - System-to-System Worksheet shown in Figure 2-6 .
If you are configuring nailed PAD connections, you can use the DTC X.25
Card Configuration - Nailed PAD Connections Worksheet shown Figure 2-7
.
If you are defining nailed PAD connections, you may also wish to
configure security. To do so, you list remote X.25 calling addresses and
specify whether you want all calls from the listed addresses to be
blocked, or all calls from the listed addresses (and only the listed
addresses) to be accepted. Once you have decided on the security to be
configured, use the DTC X.25 Card Configuration - PAD Security Worksheet
shown in Figure 2-8 to list the remote X.25 addresses.
