Network Configuration Overview
Information required for network configuration on the host is contained in one file. The
name of this configuration file is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
When building a new configuration file, it is not necessary to define every field. This is
because a sample configuration file is supplied with the MPE/iX operating system. The
sample configuration file is called NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS. Hewlett-Packard recommends
using the sample file as a template for initial configuration.
CAUTION Use the sample configuration file for first time configurations only. Information
previously configured using NMMGR, and stored in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, will be
overwritten when the sample file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file can be modified using NMMGR. Only one configuration file
can be active at a time and the active file must be called NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
Accordingly, modified or new configuration files must be copies to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
before they can be used by the system.
CAUTION If ANY other configuration file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS or NMCONFIX.PUB.SYS
then dynamic configuration will be disabled until a DTS shutdown and restart is done or
the system is rebooted. This includes other files from the same system or files copied
from other systems.
