Once your MPE/V NS configuration files have been converted
for use with the MPE/iX version of NS you will need to reconfigure
your network to account for the implementation differences between
NS 3000/V and NS 3000/iX. Run the NMMGR utility
against the configuration file generated by the file conversion
process and perform the following reconfiguration tasks:
Configure the physical path of all
links for your network. This configuration consists of a channel
number (ccc) and subchannel number
(sss) in the form ccc.sss.
There is no channel or subchannel associated with NS on MPE V.
Since the LAP-B protocol is the only point-to-point
link-level protocol supported on the MPE/iX computer, you must reconfigure
links that were configured as bisynchronous links on NS 3000/V
as LAP-B links, or remove them from the network configuration.
Configure the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS)
according to the needs of your installation. Refer to Configuring
Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices
for instructions on how to configure the DTS.
The above configuration tasks are a general summary of what
you will need to do to reconfigure your network to run on MPE/iX.
You should be aware that there are many changes to individual screens
and screen fields. Refer to this guide for information on individual
screens and screen fields.
