Fields Local HP3000 node name The local HP 3000 node name is the name by which the

HP 3000 Series 900 computer is known in the network. The format of a

node name is nodename.domain.organization where the total number

of characters is 50 or fewer, and each field contains 16 or fewer

characters (alphanumeric, underscore, or hyphens). The first character

of each field must be alphabetic.

The nodename portion of each node name must be unique within the

node's network. The nodename.domain portion of each node name

must be unique within the internetwork. HP recommends that all

nodes on the network be assigned the same domain and organization.

Assign meaningful node names. For example, MKTG.ITG.HP and

LAB.ITG.HP are meaningful names for two nodes on the same Local

Area Network (LAN) within Hewlett Packard. One node

(MKTG.ITG.HP) is used by the marketing department. The other node

(LAB.ITG.HP) is used by the lab. The domain field is the same because

the nodes belong to the same network. The organization field is the

same because the nodes belong to the same internetwork.

Are you using OpenView DTC Manager? If you answer yes (Y) to this question,

NMMGR assumes you are using a PC to manage your system and

takes you to the corresponding set of screens. If you answer no (N),

NMMGR assumes you are using host-based network management and

takes you to the set of screens required for host configuration. If you

are using this manual, you should enter an N in response to this

question. (If you are using a PC to manage your network, see

Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices

for the correct configuration procedures.)

Do you have X.25 system-to- system or PAD connections? If you answer yes (Y)

to this question, NMMGR assumes you are configuring X.25

connections and takes you to the set of screens required to configure

DTC X.25 Network Access Cards. If you answer no (N), NMMGR

assumes you have no need to configure X.25 connections and takes you

to a different set of screens. If you are using this manual, you should

enter a Y in response to this question. (If you are not configuring X.25

connections, see Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and

Other Serial Devices manual for the correct configuration procedures.)
