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 A list defined
on the OpenView windows
workstation and subsequently
downloaded to all DTCs for which
it is the “owner.” The list specifies
all of 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 an MPE/iX
system, 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
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 MPE/iX based HP 3000
minicomputers. NS 3000/iX
consists of a link 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
StarLAN 10 3000/iX link.
NS 3000/iX Network Services
Software applications that can be
used to access data, initiate
processes, and exchange
information among nodes in a
