5 Preparing to Configure X.25 iX System
Access
This chapter details the information you will need before you can begin to configure X.25
iX System Access for host-based systems that will include an X.25 system-to-system
link. Sample worksheets are included to ease configuration.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you configure the datacommunications and terminal
subsystem (DTS) before configuring the NS X.25 link. If you have not already done so,
turn to chapters 2 and 3 in this manual for information on how to configure your
system's DTCs.
If you also need to configure a point-to-point link or a LAN link, see the HP 3000/ iX
Network Planning and Configuration Guide.
This chapter describes how to:
• Plan the network configuration for X.25 iX System Access.
• Determine network characteristics for X.25 iX System Access.
• Identify Neighbor Gateways.
NOTE If you are configuring X.25 iX System Access on a system using PC-based network
management (an OpenView workstation is part of the network), you should use the
HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide instead of this manual to
configure the X.25 link.
