You must define characteristics for the X.25 PAD or system-to-system connections you are configuring. Values need to be configured for each DTC/X.25 Network Access card mounted in the DTCs for the system you are configuring.

Whether you are configuring system-to-system, PAD connections, or both, you will need to define values for levels 1, 2, and 3 of the X.25 network. Most of these values are defined by your X.25 network subscription and you can transfer these values directly to the DTC X.25 Card Configuration — Level 1 and 2 Worksheet shown later in this Chapter, and the DTC X.25 Card Configuration — Level 3 and Miscellaneous Worksheet shown later in this Chapter.

If you are configuring system-to-system connections for an X.25 network, you will need to define an X.25 link name, the maximum number of SVCs, and remote X.25 addresses and security designations. Once you have decided on your system-to-system configuration, you can use the DTC X.25 Card Configuration — System-to-System Worksheet shown later in this Chapter.

If you are configuring nailed PAD connections, you can use the DTC X.25 Card Configuration — Nailed PAD Connections Worksheet shown later in this Chapter.

If you are defining nailed PAD connections, you may also wish to configure security. To do so, you list remote X.25 calling addresses and specify whether you want all calls from the listed addresses to be blocked, or all calls from the listed addresses (and only the listed addresses) to be accepted. Once you have decided on the security to be configured, use the DTC X.25 Card Configuration — PAD Security Worksheet shown later in this Chapter, to list the remote X.25 addresses.
