This chapter describes NMMGR configuration steps that you need to perform for PC-based management (that is, when the DTCs are managed by an OpenView Windows Workstation). For information on configuring for host-based management, refer to Chapter 5 “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)”

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.

If you are using PC-based management to manage your DTCs, most of the configuration is done on the OpenView DTC Manager.

However, you still need to use NMMGR to configure the following information:

  • DTS information on the HP 3000, such as: the HP 3000's node name, the link name, and the physical path of the LANIC (the slot number where the LAN Interface Card resides on the HP 3000).

  • The maximum number of devices that can log onto the HP 3000 system at one time.

  • DTC information. For each DTC with nailed ports that will communicate with the HP 3000, you need to configure DTC information in NMMGR; such as: DTC name, DTC node name, and types of cards in the DTC.

  • Port configuration for each nailed device, such as printers and UPSs, and terminals that will be accessed programmatically.

NOTE: If you want the current HP 3000 system to be able to accept DTC connections through a Telnet Express Server (HP 2344A), that is, connections from terminals on systems running ARPA, you must configure the profile for the non-nailed terminals to be a modem profile.
