SNA NRJE Node Managers Guide (30292-90007)

2 SNA NRJE Installation

Guidelines

To run SNA NRJE on your HP 3000, you and your HP representative

must install the product and conﬁgure both your HP 3000 environment

and the host system to support SNA NRJE. As part of the conﬁguration

process, you must ensure that the HP 3000 parameters match those on

the host side. The necessary parameters are described in Chapter 3 ,

“SNA NRJE Conﬁguration,” of this manual.

This chapter assumes that installation tasks are divided between you

(the node manager) and your HP representative.

Before the HP representative arrives to install SNA NRJE on the

HP 3000, you must do the following:

1. Ensure that the modem link operates between the HP 3000 and the

host. If you use HP modems, Hewlett-Packard will help you verify

that these modems work.

2. Conﬁgure the host according to the procedures detailed in the HP

SNA Products guides (see the list of related publications in the

preface of this manual).

Be sure to obtain a copy of the host system generation. Your HP

representative will need this information later during SNA NRJE

installation.

3. Ensure that the host system has the hardware and software

requirements as listed in the SNA NRJE User/Programmer

Reference Manual.

4. Ensure that the SNA link product has been installed by an HP

representative. Remember, the SNA link product includes hardware

(the INP and cable [for SNA Link/V] or the PSI and cables [for

SNA/SDLC Link/XL and SNA/X.25 Link/XL]) and software (SNA

Transport).

NOTE

Although SNA NRJE and SNA IMF can use the same SNA link, you

must conﬁgure each service. For example, if you are installing SNA

NRJE on a system that has SNA IMF, you must conﬁgure workstations,

logical readers, logical writers, and so forth. Also, SNA NRJE and SNA

IMF require separate Logical Units (LUs). For example, to use the same

SNA link, you should devote LUs W through X to SNA NRJE and LUs

Y through Z to SNA IMF, or vice versa.

After you do these preliminary installation tasks, your HP

representative takes over and completes the installation of the software

required for using SNA NRJE. Your HP representative installs the

NRJE software and changes the I/O conﬁguration, if needed.
