The following procedure assumes that you have already configured and validated the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS). The DTS must be validated before you can validate the network transport (Netxport) software. Upon configuring the selected screens for your network:

  1. Press the [Validate Netxport] key. Refer to the list of screens with the [Validate Netxport] key.

    LAN — Figure 6-2 “LAN Configuration Screen”
    Token Ring — Figure 6-3 “Token Ring Configuration Screen”
    FDDI — Figure 6-4 “FDDI Configuration Screen”
    100VG-AnyLAN — Figure 6-5 “100VG-AnyLAN Configuration Screen”
    100Base-T — Figure 6-6 “100Base-T Configuration Screen”
    Point-to-Point Shared Dial — Figure 7-5 “Shared Dial Node Mapping Configuration Screen”
    Point-to-Point Direct Dial — Figure 7-6 “Direct Connect/Dial Node Mapping Configuration Screen”
    X.25 — Figure 8-3 “X.25 Virtual Circuit Configuration Screen”
    Gateway Half — Figure 9-2 “Gatehalf Configuration Screen”
    Logging — Figure 13-2 “Netxport Log Configuration (1) Screen”

    Messages similar to the following ones will be displayed:

    Searching for subsystem validation routine VALIDATENETXPOR -> VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM STARTED -> VALIDATION OF NETXPORT SUBSYSTEM FINISHED Copying validated subsystems to backup configuration file (Press RETURN when done viewing screen contents)

  2. See the NS 3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual for explanations of any validation errors. After viewing the messages, press [RETURN] to return to the LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, and 100Base-T Configuration screen.

  3. If you need to configure a network directory, proceed to Chapter 11 “Configuring the Network Directory” If you do not need to configure the network directory, exit NMMGR, and proceed to the section in this chapter titled "To Cross-Validate in SYSGEN." To exit NMMGR, press the [Prior Screen] key on successive screens until you reach the Open Configuration Directory File screen where you should press the [Exit Program] key.
