This chapter contains information that is needed before configuration of systems for asynchronous device (terminal and printer) connections can begin. It also provides worksheets for you to collect your network configuration data before actual configuration.

Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)” and Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)” show step-by-step process for configuring terminals, printers, and other serial devices.

	NOTE: If you are configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP 3000 Series 900 computer using host-based network management, use Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links instead of this manual to configure DTCs and DTC connections.You can automatically add and configure a new host-based managed DTC to the HP 3000 system without needing to specify detailed configuration information such as DTC cards/boards and ldevs. For more information refer to Chapter 3 “Automatic Configuration of DTCs”
