Before Configuring Terminal and Printer Connections
Defining the HP 3000 System
Defining the HP 3000 System
The following configuration parameters are required to define the
HP 3000 host for asynchronous device connections.
Local HP 3000
Node Name The name by which the HP 3000 Series 900 computer is
known in your network. The format of a node name is
nodename.domain.organization, where each field can
contain 16 or fewer characters (alphanumeric,
underscores, or hyphens). The first character of each
field must be alphabetic. For example:
ACCOUNTS.MKT2.HP.
Are You Using
OpenView DTC
Manager? Determines the method to be used for network
management. If the answer is YES then the system will
be configured using PC-based network management. If
the answer is NO, then the system will be configured
using host-based network management.
Link Name The link name that will be used by the HP 3000’s
Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS)
when device connections are established. It must start
with a letter and can be up to eight alphanumeric
characters. DTSLINK is the default and should be used
for your DTS configuration.
Physical Path
of LANIC
(Slot # of
LANIC Card) The location of the LANIC (LAN Interface Controller
Card) in the system’s backplane. The LANIC is an
input/output (I/O) card that plugs into the Channel I/O
Bus (CIB) (or the HP Precision Bus for NIO LANICs) of
the HP 3000 computer. The location (slot number) of
the LANIC within the cabinet must be specified.
The default physical paths (slot numbers) for HP 3000
computers are listed below. These defaults optimize
performance and use of the computer’s cabinet space.
Before moving the LANIC into another slot, consult an
HP representative.
