Backup configuration file name A backup file name must be specified whenever a
configuration file is opened or created. The default backup
configuration file name is NMCBACK.PUB.SYS. The backup file will be
automatically updated with the contents of the configuration file each
time the configuration file is successfully validated.
Network directory file name The network directory file must be configured for each
new node (unless you will only be accessing the node using direct level
3 access). The network directory contains information that one X.25
node needs in order to communicate with other X.25 nodes. The only
network directory file name supported by HP is NSDIR.NET.SYS. This
file is part of a KSAM pair. A key file is created at the same time as
this data file. The key file will automatically be named using the first
six letters of the network directory file name, appended with the
character K. For example, NSDIRK.NET.SYS is the name of the key file
associated with the data file NSDIR.NET.SYS.
Write access password The password is an optional feature. If a password has been
assigned, you must enter it in the password field to update the
configuration file. It is still possible to open the file without using an
assigned password, but the file will be in read only mode and NMMGR
will not accept any changes.
If a password has not been assigned, you should ignore the password
field.
If you want to assign a password for the system you are configuring,
see Using the Node Management Services (NMS) Utilities manual.
