HP Predictive Support CE Guide For HP 3000 Series 900

Configuring the Satellite Node(s) 

   1.  Go to the terminal on the satellite node.

   2.  Type run nmmgr.pub.sys.

   3.  Go to the Guided Configuration screen.

   4.  Enter a name for the network interface to the network in the NI
       name:  field.

       In our example, this is lan1 for a LAN network.

   5.  If the network interface is not configured, enter the value that
       corresponds to the type of network the satellite nodes are
       connected to in the If the NI is new, enter the number that
       corresponds to its type field.

       In our example, this is 1 to indicate a LAN network.

   6.  Press Config Network.  This displays the LAN Configuration screen.
       You do not need to enter any information on this screen.  It is
       assumed that your LAN network has already been installed and
       configured.

   7.  Press Neighbor Gateways.  This displays the Neighbor Gateways
       screen.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

       NOTE  If the customer already has a gateway set up for another
             network, a new neighbor gateway entry does not need to be
             added.  However, you may need to enter the remote network's
             IP address to the list of reachable networks for the
             gateway.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

   8.  Enter a name for the Predictive Gateway Node in the Gateway name
       field.  The name entered here can be any name that you choose to
       represent the Predictive Gateway Node.

       In our example, this is rcpgtwy.

   9.  Press Add to add a new neighbor gateway entry.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

       NOTE  Press Modify if the customer already has a gateway set up to
             another network.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

  10.  Enter the LAN Network IP address of the Predictive Gateway Node in
       the Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address field.

       In our example, the Predictive Gateway Node's LAN Network IP
       address is A 111 111.111.222.

  11.  Enter the IP address(es) of the remote network(s) that can be
       reached through the Predictive Gateway Node (which is acting as
       the gateway) in the Configured Reachable Networks IP Network
       Address field.

       Only the internet portion of the network address is significant
       for this field.  The node portion must be entered; however, it may
       be set to all zeros.  In our example, the remote network is the
       LAN network and the LAN network's IP address is B 122.222 000.000.

  12.  Enter 1 in the Hops field.

       For this application, any value can be entered here.

  13.  Press Save Data to save the configuration data.

  14.  Go to the Validate Configuration File screen and validate the
       configuration changes.

  15.  Exit Guided Configuration.

  16.  Press Prior screen until you get to the Open
       Configuration/Directory File screen.

  17.  If the network directory already exists, press Open Directory.

       If the network directory does not exists, press Create Directory 
       to create the directory.

  18.  Press Update Dir.  This displays the Network Directory Select Node
       Name screen.

  19.  Enter the name of the HP Response Center Node in the Node Name
       field.  The satellite node needs to know the identity of the HP
       Response Center Node.

       In our example, this is predict.x25.hp which is the name of the HP
       Response Center Node.

  20.  Press Add.  This displays the Network Directory Data screen.

  21.  Enter the X.25 Network IP address of the HP Response Center Node
       in the IP Address field.

       In our example, this is B 122.222 222.050.

  22.  Enter 1 in the Type field for the IP access.

  23.  Press Save Data to save the changes.

If the Predictive Gateway Node is not already configured as part of the
network,

   1.  Press Prior screen to get back to the Network Directory Select
       Node Name screen.

   2.  Enter the name of the gateway that is on the same network as the
       satellite node in the Node Name field.  The satellite node needs
       to know the identity of any neighbor gateway node.

       In our example for the HP 3000, this is predgtwy.lan.cust which is
       the name of the HP 3000 Predictive Gateway Node.

   3.  Press Add.  This displays the Network Directory Data screen.

   4.  Enter the LAN Network IP address of the Predictive Gateway Node in
       the IP Address field.

       In our example, this is A 111 111.111.222.

   5.  Enter 1 in the Type field for IP access.

   6.  Press Save Data to save the changes.

   7.  Exit NMMGR.


NOTE Restarting the system is not necessary.
