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.
