Configuring the X.25 Link
This section describes how to configure your X.25 link using HP’s System
Administration Manager (SAM).
SAM has two user interfaces: an X Window System interface, and a text
terminal interface. The primary components and functionality of SAM
are the same for both interfaces. The differences are in the screen
appearance and the keyboard/mouse interactions (navigation methods).
These interactions are described in Chapter 1 of your HP 9000 System
Administrator’s Manual.
In SAM, the term “card” refers to a particular X.25 interface. Dual-port
cards have two interfaces. In this context, an interface is the same as a
port.
NOTE HP recommends that you use SAM to configure your X.25 link.
Using SAM
Follow the steps below to start SAM and display the “Configure X.25
Card” window:
NOTE SAM is deprecated on HP-UX 11i v3 and replaced with the enhanced
System Management Homepage (SMH) user interface. Users who
attempt to start SAM from the command line are automatically
redirected to the SMH user interface. SMH can be run directly in a web
browser window by typing http://hostname:2301. In the Graphical User
Interface (GUI), after logging in, the SMH main menu is displayed.
Select Tools > networking and communications > network interface cards
> choose X.25. For more information on SMH, see the HP System
Management Homepage Release Notes (Part Number: 381383-009) on
