Conﬁguring NS 3000/iX

The NS 3000/iX product consists of NS 3000/iX Network Services and

NS 3000/iX links. NS 3000/iX Network Services contain software that

allows you to access data, initiate processes, and exchange information

between all the systems on a network. NS 3000/iX links provide

connections between systems (either HP 3000s or personal computers)

in a network. To use NS 3000/iX Network Services,the systems must be

connected by an NS 3000/iX link and each link must be properly

conﬁgured through NMMGR.

If you press the key labeled

[NS] at the Main screen, you are taken to

the NS Conﬁguration screen (Figure 3-4), the ﬁrst screen in a

progression that lets you conﬁgure NS.

NMMGR provides two methods of creating or updating conﬁguration

information for an NS link. The methods are referred to as guided HP

conﬁguration and unguided HP conﬁguration respectively. You

determine which method you will use by making a choice at the NS

Conﬁguration screen.

You also use this screen to conﬁgure a domain name for the node you

are conﬁguring if using domain names for network access. To conﬁgure

a domain name, replace the local node name in the ﬁeld at the bottom of

the screen and press the

[Save Data] key. (If you are not using domain

names, leave the local node name as is.)
