Configuring With NMMGR

NMMGR, the Node Management Configuration Manager, is the utility used by HP 3000 Series 900 to configure asynchronous device connections. The parameters described previously in this chapter are entered in NMMGR through a screen-by-screen user interface. These parameters are then stored by NMMGR into the HP 3000 network configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

To invoke NMMGR, type the following command at the MPE prompt:

NMMGR.PUB.SYS

Figure 2-2 “NMMGR DTS/DTC Screen Flow” shows the screen flow for configuring terminals, printers, and other serial devices in NMMGR. Parameters entered in each NMMGR screen are listed to the right of the screen. [function] denotes the function key used at a screen to invoke the next screen on the flowchart.

Chapter 3 “Automatic Configuration of DTCs” and Chapter 4 “Dynamic Configuration and DTS Shutdown/Restart” provides an overview of automatic and dynamic configuration capabilities, respectively. Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)” and Chapter 6 “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)” show the step-by-step process for configuring terminals, printers, and other serial devices using NMMGR, for host-based and PC-based management, respectively.

	NOTE: You may use NMMGR's maintenance mode interface to manage network directory and configuration files. You may also use the interface to generate job streams to update remote network directory and configuration files. Refer to Appendix A for more information on maintenance mode commands and a special discussion on the SUMMARYCONF command.In addition to the DTS subsystem, NMMGR is used to configure other network subsystems on the HP 3000 Series 900, such as NS (Network Services), IBM, and OSI. NMMGR provides many functions and utilities that are beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to Using the Node Management Services for detailed information on NMMGR.
