Network Configuration Overview

Information required for network configuration on the host is contained in one file. The name of this configuration file is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

When building a new configuration file, it is not necessary to define every field. This is because a sample configuration file is supplied with the MPE/iX operating system. The sample configuration file is called NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. Hewlett-Packard recommends using the sample file as a template for initial configuration.

	CAUTION: Use the sample configuration file for first time configurations only. Information previously configured using NMMGR, and stored in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, will be overwritten when the sample file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.

The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file can be modified using NMMGR. Only one configuration file can be active at a time and the active file must be called NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. Accordingly, modified or new configuration files must be copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS before they can be used by the system.

	CAUTION: If ANY other configuration file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS or NMCONFIX.PUB.SYS then dynamic configuration will be disabled until a DTS shutdown and restart is done or the system is rebooted. This includes other files from the same system or files copied from other systems.
