node address The node portion
of an IPaddress, which consists of
a node portion and a network
portion.

NMMGR.
node name A character string
that uniquely identifies each
system in a network or
internetwork. Each node name in
a network or internetwork must
be unique; however, a single node
can be identified by more than
one node name.
node names list List defined on
the OpenView workstation and
subsequently downloaded to all
DTCs for which it is the “owner.”
The list specifies all the HP 3000
Series 900 hosts on the LAN that
are accessible from the DTCs.
non-adjacent Describes a node
on an NS Point-to-Point 3000/iX
network that is separated from a
given node by intervening or
intermediate node.
non-nailed device A session
accepting device that is not
permanently associated with an
ldev number at configuration
time. When the user at such a
device logs on to a HP 3000
Series 900, an ldev is assigned
from a pool of ldevs set aside for
this purpose at configuration
time. The association between a
non-nailed device and this
temporarily assigned ldev exists
only for the duration of the
session. One advantage of the use
of non-nailed device connections
is that configuration is simplified,
since it is not required that each
non-nailed device be individually
configured.
NS 3000/iX A Hewlett-Packard
data communication product that
provides networking capabilities
for HP 3000 Series 900
minicomputers. NS 3000/iX
consists of one or more links and
network services.
NS 3000/iX Link Software and
hardware that provides the
connection between nodes on a
network. Some of the NS 3000/iX
links available are the ThinLAN
3000/iX Link and its ThickLAN
option, the DTC/X.25 iX Network
Link, the NS Point-to-Point
3000/iX Link, and the Token Ring
3000/iX Network Link.
NS 3000/iX Network Services
Software applications that can be
used to access data, initiate
processes, and exchange
information among nodes in a
network. The services are RPM,
VT, RFA, RDBA, and NFT
NS Point-to-Point 3000/iX
Link Hardware and software
necessary to create networks in
which data is transmitted from
node to node over a defined route
until it reaches its destination.
This technique is referred to as
store and forward. Systems in a
point-to-point network are
connected by means of leased or
dial-up telephone lines. HP 3000
