3 Using NMMGR in Screen Mode

This chapter tells you how to use NMMGR’s screen mode interface to

begin the conﬁguration process for your system’s terminal connections

or networking products. It includes step-by-step instructions for getting

started in NMMGR and for navigating the top-level screens. Those

screens are described here along with their purpose.

This chapter describes the following topics in detail:

• What you need before you start NMMGR.

• How to start NMMGR in screen mode.

• How to open or create a conﬁguration ﬁle or a directory ﬁle.

• How to choose a subsystem for conﬁguration from the Main screen,

NMMGR’s top-level menu. An overview of the conﬁguration tasks

performed for each subsystem is included.

NOTE

This chapter does not take you through the conﬁguration process. For

detailed information on conﬁguring a speciﬁc subsystem, refer to the

conﬁguration guide for that subsystem. For detailed information on the

unguided conﬁguration screens for the Network Services subsystem,

refer to the NS 3000/iX NMMGR Screens Reference Manual.
