Data Required from the Host Configuration

Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information from the host configuration. So, before using NMMGR, you should have certain information from the host configuration.

The host information that corresponds to SNA node configuration information for SNA/SDLC links, SNA/X.25 links, and SNA/Token Ring links is described below.

SNA/SDLC Information

For the host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/SDLC node configuration with the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM host configurations. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains these configurations. Table 2-1 “Host ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Values for SDLC” shows the relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/SDLC link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-1 Host ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Values for SDLC

Host Configuration Macro and Operand		Field in NMMGR Screen	NMMGR Screen Name
`LINE`	`SPEED`	`Transmission Speed`	SDLC Link Data
	`NRZI`	`NRZI`	SDLC Link Data
`PU`	`puname`	`SNA Node Name`	Configuration

	`XID`	`Node Type`	PU Data
`LU`	`luname`	`LU Name`	LU Data
	`LOCADDR`	`LU#`	LU Data

SNA/X.25 Information

For the host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/X.25 node configuration with the host configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains this configuration.

Table 2-2 “Host Macro Values for X.25 Link PVC” shows the relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-2 Host Macro Values for X.25 Link PVC

Host Configuration Macro and Operand		Field in NMMGR Screen	SNA Node NMMGR Screen
`X25.LINE`	`TYPE`	`Virtual Circuit Type`	X.25 Link Data
`X25.PU`	`puname`	`SNA Node Name`	Configuration
		`New Name`	Configuration
	`PUTYPE`	`Node Type`	PU Data
	`MAXDATA`	`MAX DATA`	PU Data
`X25.LU`	`luname`	`LU Name`	LU Data
	`LOCADDR`	LU#	LU Data

Table 2-3 “Host Macro Values for X.25 Link SVC” shows the relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for switched virtual circuits (SVCs) of an SNA/X.25 link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

Table 2-3 Host Macro Values for X.25 Link SVC

Host Configuration Macro and Operand		Field in NMMGR Screen	SNA Node NMMGR Screen
`X25.LINE`	`TYPE`	`Virtual Circuit Type`	X.25 Link Data
	`CALL`	`Call Direction`	X.25 Link Data
`PATH`	`DIALNO`	`Remote's X.25 Network Address`	X.25 Link Data
`PU`	`puname`	`SNA Node Name`	Configuration
		`New Name`	Configuration
	`IDBLK`	`ID BLK`	PU Data
	`IDNUM`	`ID NUM`	PU Data
	`MAXDATA`	`MAX DATA`	PU Data
`LU`	`luname`	`LU Name`	LU Data
	`LOCADDR`	`LU#`	LU Data

Table 2-4 “Host Macro Values for X.25 System Access” shows the relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the X.25 System Access configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote Sytem Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains the host configuration. See the appropriate NS documentation for more information about the X.25 System Access configuration.

Table 2-4 Host Macro Values for X.25 System Access

Host Configuration Macro	Field in NMMGR Screen	Network Services NMMGR Screen
`X25.OUFT INDEX`	`Set Name`	X.25 User Facility Sets

Note that once the facility set to be used by SNA/X.25 Link is specified in the INDEX operand of the X25.OUFT host macro, it must also be referenced by the OUFINDX operand of the X25.LINE host macro.

Table 2-5 “Host Macro Values for DTC Manager (X.25)” shows the relationship between items from the host configuration and items in the DTC Manager configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains the host configuration. See the appropriate DTC documentation for more information about the DTC Manager configuration through OpenView.

Table 2-5 Host Macro Values for DTC Manager (X.25)

Host Configuration Macro and Operand	Field in OpenView Screen	DTC Manager OpenView Screen
`X25.VCCPT VWINDOW`	`Window Size`	X.25 Level 3




	NOTE: Although it is not an X.25 standard requirement, we recommend that the value specified in the `Window Size` field `match` the `VWINDOW` operand of the `X25.VCCPT` host macro.

Table 2-6 “Host Macro Values for DTS Config. (X.25)” shows the relationship between items from the host configuration and items in the DTS configuration (for NS host-based network management). The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains the host configuration. See the appropriate NS host-based network management documentation for more information about the DTS configuration through OpenView.

SNA/Token Ring Information

For the host and the HP 3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/Token Ring node configuration with the ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM host configurations. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains these configurations. Table 2-7 “Host Macro Values for Token Ring” shows the relationships between items from the host configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/Token Ring link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.
