Configuring With NMMGR
NMMGR, the Node Management Configuration Manager, is the utility used by HP
e3000 Series 900 to configure asynchronous device connections. The parameters
described previously in this chapter are entered in NMMGR through a screen-by-screen
user interface. These parameters are then stored by NMMGR into the HP e3000 network
configuration file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
To invoke NMMGR, type the following command at the MPE prompt:
NMMGR.PUB.SYS
Figure 2-1 shows the screen flow for configuring terminals, printers, and other serial
devices in NMMGR. Use the function keys that are located at the bottom of each screen
to visit the next screen on the flowchart. All screens have a
[Prior Screen]
key that can be
used to display the screen visited prior to the current screen, as shown in the flowchart.
Chapter 3, “Automatic Configuration of DTCs,” and Chapter 4, “Dynamic Configuration
and DTS Shutdown/Restart,” provides an overview of automatic and dynamic
configuration capabilities, respectively. Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for
Host-Based Management),” and Chapter 6, “Configuring Serial Devices (for PC-Based
Management),” show the step-by-step process for configuring terminals, printers, and
other serial devices using NMMGR, for host-based and PC-based management,
respectively.
NOTE You may use NMMGR’s maintenance mode interface to manage network directory and
configuration files. You may also use the interface to generate job streams to update
remote network directory and configuration files. Refer to Appendix A for more
information on maintenance mode commands and a special discussion on the
SUMMARYCONF command.
