Selecting a Conﬁguration Path

Conﬁguring HP-IBM Connections

Hewlett-Packard provides a number of networking products that make

it possible to establish communication links between HP e3000 and

IBM mainframe computers.

If you press the key labeled

[IBM] at the Main screen, you are sent to the

HP-IBM Conﬁguration screen shown in Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7 HP-IBM Conﬁguration Screen

From this screen, you can choose any of the IBM subsystems for

conﬁguration by pressing the appropriate function key. You can also

choose to conﬁgure logging for all of the IBM subsystems, or you can

choose SNANODE conﬁguration (SNA node, SDLC link, X.25 link, and

token ring link).

The HP-IBM Conﬁguration screen presents you with more choices than

there are available function keys. For this reason, the screen includes a

[Next Key Labels] function key that lets you toggle between two sets of

function key choices. If the choice you want does not currently appear

on any of the

[Go to] function keys, press the [Next Key Labels] key. You

can then make the choice you need to conﬁgure the HP-IBM subsystem

you want to conﬁgure.

For more information on conﬁguring any of the HP-IBM products, see

the Node Manager’s Guide for that product. For information on HP-IBM

subsystem logging or SNANODE conﬁguration, see the SNA Link/iX

Node Manager’s Guide.
