Gathering Configuration Information
Using the Remote System Worksheet
Using the Remote System Worksheet
The Remote System Worksheet should be filled out for every OSI system
you intend to connect to. This INCLUDES your local node.
This worksheet represents parts of the OSI stack. The information is
broken into six different sections. These six sections (described below)
should be filled out by the network administrator for each remote node.
General Information
This contains basic information about the remote system.
Application Addresses
List all the remote applications you will communicate with.
Node Name What the system is called (uxnode1, hpnode2,
etc.). This name should match the name given to
the system on network maps.
Vendor/Type The manufacturer and model number (for
example, HP9000/J200) .
Routing
Information
Indicates whether this node acts as an End
System (final destination for traffic), an
Intermediate System (router), or Both.
Application Name What the application is (FTAM responder, Net
Management Agent, etc.).
P-, S-, T-Selectors Upper layer addresses for the application. If the
program runs over Transport, only the
T-selector should be specified. For Session and
X.400, specify only the S- and T-selectors. For all
other applications, the P-, S-, and T-selectors
should be used. Indicate a NULL selector value
by using “NULL.”
