This manual documents functionality for the MPE/iX 6.0 release,
as well as later releases, for HP 3000 Series 900 systems.
This manual describes how terminals, printers, and other serial
devices are connected to the HP 3000 Series 900 computer. It includes
an explanation of how terminal, printer, and other serial device
input/output (I/O) is controlled by the MPE/iX operating system,
and presents an overview of both the hardware and software needed
to accomplish communications in an asynchronous serial mode.
Step-wise configuration for the HP 3000 and the Datacommunications
and Terminal Subsystem (DTS) is presented in this manual.
Printer and terminal type files are discussed, as well as
various other topics that impact how communications take place between
an asynchronous device and the computer.
PAD configuration is discussed in this manual. If you are
configuring system-to-system X.25 or PAD configuration 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.
This manual may still be needed for some DTS related tasks
that are outside the scope of X.25 and PAD connections configuration.
This manual contains information on such tasks as: the details on
Creating and Modifying Profiles in Chapter 7 “Terminal and Printer Profiles” in Chapter 8 “Additional DTC Configuration” and Appendix A “Using NMMGR in Maintenance Mode”
