Using NMMGR in Screen Mode
Before You Start
Before You Start
There are a number of requirements that you need to be aware of before
you attempt to run NMMGR:
• You must have MPE Node Manager (NM) or Network Administrator
(NA) capability to run NMMGR.
• Your terminal must have block mode capability to run NMMGR in
screen mode. All terminals supported by MPE/iX have this
capability.
• An NMMGR screen is 24 lines long. If your terminal screen is longer
than 24 lines, the NMMGR function key labels on some (older)
screens appear to be four lines tall with blank labels on the bottom
two lines. These lines are blank because the functions assigned by
NMMGR clear any existing functions, although blank labels may
still appear on the screen. The function keys on more recently added
NMMGR screens, which store their function key information in a
different way, will appear as normal softkeys, on two lines.
