As system manager, your responsibilities include configuring
your system when it is initially installed and adding or changing
devices as time goes on.
When your system is delivered, it includes a tape with default configuration
information. To modify the system configuration, you use the
system generator (SYSGEN) and either copy the changes
to a system load tape (SLT), or copy them
to disk in a configuration group. You must have system manager (SM)
capability to make and keep changes with SYSGEN.
Users with system supervisor (OP) capability can use SYSGEN to view the
system configuration and make system load tapes.
NMMGR is a menu-driven utility that produces a configuration file
used by data communications products to determine their operating
characteristics. It configures the network interface and the DTS link.
Information about NMMGR and the DTS link are contained in Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90001).
In this chapter, you can find the following topics:
confirming potentially serious actions
accessing other modules and configurators
creating system load tapes
holding and saving configuration changes
clearing configuration changes
entering an MPE command from any configurator
cross-validating NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS with SYSGEN
introducing the SPU configurator
