Conﬁguring Serial Devices (for PC-Based Management)

6 Conﬁguring Serial Devices (for

PC-Based Management)

This chapter describes NMMGR conﬁguration steps that you need to

perform for PC-based management (that is, when the DTCs are

managed by an OpenView Windows Workstation). For information on

conﬁguring for host-based management, refer to Chapter 5,

“Conﬁguring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management).”

NOTE

If you are conﬁguring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP 3000

Series 900 computer using host-based network management, use

Conﬁguring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links instead of this

manual to conﬁgure DTCs and DTC connections.

If you are using PC-based management to manage your DTCs, most of

the conﬁguration is done on the OpenView DTC Manager.

However, you still need to use NMMGR to conﬁgure the following

information:

• DTS information on the HP 3000, such as: the HP 3000’s node name,

the link name, and the physical path of the LANIC (the slot number

where the LAN Interface Card resides on the HP 3000).

• The maximum number of devices that can log onto the HP 3000

system at one time.

• DTC information. For each DTC with nailed ports that will

communicate with the HP 3000, you need to conﬁgure DTC

information in NMMGR; such as: DTC name, DTC node name, and

types of cards in the DTC.

• Port conﬁguration for each nailed device, such as printers and

UPSs, and terminals that will be accessed programmatically.

NOTE

If you want the current HP 3000 system to be able to accept DTC

connections through a Telnet Express Server (HP 2344A), that is,

connections from terminals on systems running ARPA, you must

conﬁgure the proﬁle for the non-nailed terminals to be a modem proﬁle.
