To run SNA NRJE on your HP 3000, you and your HP representative must install the product and configure both your HP 3000 environment and the host system to support SNA NRJE. As part of the configuration process, you must ensure that the HP 3000 parameters match those on the host side. The necessary parameters are described in Chapter 3 “SNA NRJE Configuration” of this manual.

This chapter assumes that installation tasks are divided between you (the node manager) and your HP representative.

Before the HP representative arrives to install SNA NRJE on the HP 3000, you must do the following:

  1. Ensure that the modem link operates between the HP 3000 and the host. If you use HP modems, Hewlett-Packard will help you verify that these modems work.

  2. Configure the host according to the procedures detailed in the HP SNA Products guides (see the list of related publications in the preface of this manual).

    Be sure to obtain a copy of the host system generation. Your HP representative will need this information later during SNA NRJE installation.

  3. Ensure that the host system has the hardware and software requirements as listed in the SNA NRJE User/Programmer Reference Manual.

  4. Ensure that the SNA link product has been installed by an HP representative. Remember, the SNA link product includes hardware (the INP and cable [for SNA Link/V] or the PSI and cables [for SNA/SDLC Link/XL and SNA/X.25 Link/XL]) and software (SNA Transport).

NOTE: Although SNA NRJE and SNA IMF can use the same SNA link, you must configure each service. For example, if you are installing SNA NRJE on a system that has SNA IMF, you must configure workstations, logical readers, logical writers, and so forth. Also, SNA NRJE and SNA IMF require separate Logical Units (LUs). For example, to use the same SNA link, you should devote LUs W through X to SNA NRJE and LUs Y through Z to SNA IMF, or vice versa.

After you do these preliminary installation tasks, your HP representative takes over and completes the installation of the software required for using SNA NRJE. Your HP representative installs the NRJE software and changes the I/O configuration, if needed.
