Data in an SNA node configuration file must correspond to information from the remote AS/400 type 2.1 parameters. So, before using NMMGR, you should have certain information from the AS/400 configuration.

The AS/400 information that corresponds to SNA node configuration information for SNA/SDLC links, SNA/X.25 links, and SNA/Token Ring links is described below.

SNA/SDLC Information

For the AS/400 and the HP e3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/SDLC node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains this configuration.

Table 2-8 "AS/400 Parameter Values for SDLC Link" shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/SDLC link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

SNA/X.25 Information

For the AS/400 and the HP e3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/X.25 node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains this configuration.

Table 2-9 "AS/400 Parameter Values for X.25 Link" shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for switched virtual circuits (SVCs) of an SNA/X.25 link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.

SNA/Token Ring Information

For the AS/400 and the HP e3000 to communicate, you must coordinate the SNA/Token Ring node configuration with the AS/400 configuration. The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide explains this configuration.

Table 2-10 "AS/400 Parameter Values for Token Ring Link" shows the relationships between parameters from the AS/400 configuration and items in the SNA node configuration file for an SNA/Token Ring link. Each NMMGR screen field is described later in this chapter.
