(no) to the question “Are you using OpenView DTC Manager?” and “Y” (yes) to the

question “Do you have X.25 system-to-system or PAD connections?”. Press the

[Save Data]

key, then press the

[DTS]

function key.

Using the DTS configuration branch, you configure link information for the DTCs

connected to the system. For each DTC, you specify the card types the DTC contains,

along with logging class and PAD access information if one of the cards is a DTC/X.25

Network Access card. For each individual card, you configure device connection

parameters pertinent to the card’s type.

For each DTC/X.25 Network Access card you configure, you also specify X.25 level 1,

level 2, and level 3 parameters according to your X.25 network subscription. You may

also elect to configure security for PAD access.

Complete step-by-step procedures for configuring the DTS branch are provided in

Chapter 3, “Configuring DTCs Step-by-Step,” of this manual.

NS Configuration Branch

Connections for system-to-system require that you traverse an NS configuration branch

to configure X.25 iX System Access. You reach this branch by pressing the

[NS]

function

key at the Main NMMGR screen.

Step-by-step procedures for X.25 iX System Access configuration are in Chapter 6,

“Configuring X.25 Links Step-by-Step,” of this manual.

NOTE The X.25 iX System Access procedure described in this manual assumes the use of

guided configuration. While it is possible to configure this link using non-guided

configuration, Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends the use of the guided configuration

process.
