Using NMMGR in Screen Mode

Selecting a Conﬁguration Path

Once a conﬁguration ﬁle is successfully opened or created, NMMGR

displays the Main screen, shown in Figure 3-2. This screen presents a

menu from which you select the group of NMMGR screens you need to

conﬁgure the appropriate subsystem.

Figure 3-2 Main Screen

The main screen also contains three data ﬁelds that must be completed

in order to conﬁgure the local node name and determine which type of

network conﬁguration is appropriate for the node.

The following steps describe the action that should be taken at the

Main screen:

Step 1. Enter the node name of the system you are conﬁguring in the local node

name ﬁeld (if it is not already present).

Step 2. In the ﬁeld next to the question Are you using OpenView DTC

Manager?, enter a “Y” if you are using PC-based network management

for this node, enter an “N” if you are using host-based network

management. If you are using PC-based network management, an

OpenView workstation must be present on the network.

Step 3. In the ﬁeld next to the question Do you have X.25 system-to-system

or PAD connections?, enter a “Y” to indicate you will be conﬁguring a

DTC/X.25 Network Access card for this node, otherwise, enter an “N”.
