This Appendix tells how to use the NMMGRVER utility to migrate a configuration file from any MPE V based node acting as an X.25 server for NS 3000/XL based machines (including the NS X.25 3000/XL Server product) to an NS 3000/iX node that will be running NS 3000/iX release 2.0 or later. This appendix assumes that you want to move the X.25 configuration from the MPE V-based X.25 server to an existing NS 3000/XL node and then upgrade it to NS 3000/iX 2.0.

This appendix does not apply if the MPE V node you want to migrate from is not acting as an X.25 server for NS 3000/XL based machines. Refer to the following appendixes depending on which X.25 network products you currently have:

This appendix also provides an overview of the differences between networking functionality on an MPE V and an MPE/iX system you need to consider for migration.
