This section covers remote system configuration requirements for the following MPE/iX SNA products: This section presents the requirements for: ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM for switched and non-switched lines NCP Token-Ring Interconnection (NTRI) X.25 NCP Packet Switching Interface (NPSI) logmode table parameters.
ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Requirements | |
The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the entire VTAM domain and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system. The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/iX SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Definitions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system. | | | |  | WARNING! The HP SNA products are emulations of IBM products. Thus, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable. Operands not listed are not allowed in the HP SNA services definitions and therefore are not supported. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis. | | | | |
For MPE/iX SNA products, more than one PU may be defined for an HP 3000. A maximum of eight PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 with SDLC links. Multiple PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 SNA Token Ring Link. The number of PUs defined depends upon the number of SNA Link products installed. A maximum of 255 LUs can be configured for each HP 3000 PU. For SNA NRJE/iX, it is recommended that at least three LUs be defined. SNA IMF can support a maximum of 64 LUs. The LU 6.2 products can start a maximum of eight LUs. See the MPE/iX SNA product documentation for more information on configuration requirements. Tables 1-9 and 1-10 define the parameters necessary to connect MPE/iX SNA products to a switched line. Any values listed that are not required are given as examples. See Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system for more information.

X.25 NPSI Requirements | |
This section defines the X.25 Network Control Program Packet Switching Interface (NPSI) parameters that are necessary for a successful connection between a host and MPE/iX SNA products. The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the whole network and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system. The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/iX SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Definitions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system. | | | | | WARNING! The HP SNA products are emulations of IBM products. Thus, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable. Operands not listed are not allowed in the HP SNA services definitions and therefore are not supported. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis. | | | | |

There are two methods that can be used to define an SVC: Use the X25.LINE macro, the X25.PU macro, and the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs. Use the X25.VC macro and the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs.
The method chosen depends upon the remote system. See the Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the NPSI manual for the remote system for more information. Table 1-16 defines the NPSI parameters that are necessary to connect to an SVC. Table 1-17 defines the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs. For MPE/iX SNA products, more than one PU may be defined for an HP 3000 node. A maximum of eight PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 node. The number of PUs defined depends upon the number of SNA Link products installed. A maximum of 64 LUs can be configured for each HP 3000 PU. For SNA NRJE/V, it is recommended that at least three LUs be defined. SNA IMF can support a maximum of 64 LUs. The LU 6.2 products can start a maximum of eight LUs.

Logmode Table Requirements | |
The Logmode table definitions determine the operating characteristics of the session with a host LU—the bind parameters. The tables in this section define the Logmode table parameters necessary for MPE/iX SNA products. Tables 1-18, 1-19, and 1-20 contain Logmode table parameters required for SNA NRJE/iX for the JES2, JES3, and POWER job entry subsystems. Table 1-21 contains the Logmode table parameters required for SNA IMF/iX. Table 1-22 contains the Logmode table parameters required for SNA DHCF/iX. Table 1-23 contains the Logmode table parameters for non-SNA devices connected to HCF. Table 1-24 contains the Logmode table parameters required for the LU 6.2 products, LU 6.2 API/iX and HP SNADS/iX.
