NMMAINT A utility that lists
the software module version
numbers for all HP AdvanceNet
products, including NS3000/iX. It
detects missing or invalid
software modules.
NMMGR Node Management
Services Configuration Manager.
A software subsystem that
enables you to configure DTC
connectivity and network access
parameters for an HP 3000
Series 900 computer.
NMMGRVER A conversion
program called
NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS. It converts
configuration files created with
NMMGR from an earlier version
to the latest format.
NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS A sample
configuration file supplied with
FOS that can be used as a
template for DTS configuration.
node A computer that is part of a
network. The DTC is also
considered to be a node and has
its own address.
node address The node portion
of an IP address. The IP address
consists of a node portion and a
network portion.

NMMGR.
node name A character string
that uniquely identifies each
system in a network or
internetwork. Each node name in
a network or internetwork must
be unique; however, a single node
can be identified by more than
one node name.
node names list A list defined
on the OpenView windows
workstation and subsequently
downloaded to all DTCs for which
it is the “owner.” The list specifies
all of the HP 3000 Series 900
hosts on the LAN that are
accessible from the DTCs.
non-adjacent Describes a node
on an NS Point-to-Point 3000/iX
network that is separated from a
given node by intervening or
intermediate node.
non-nailed device A session
accepting device that is not
permanently associated with an
ldev number at configuration
time. When the user at such a
device logs on to an MPE/iX
system, an ldev is assigned from a
pool of ldevs set aside for this
purpose at configuration time.
The association between a
non-nailed device and this
assigned ldev exists only for the
duration of the session. One
advantage of the use of
non-nailed device connections is
that configuration is simplified,
since it is not required that each
non-nailed device be individually
configured.
NS3000/iX A Hewlett-Packard
data communication product that
provides networking capabilities
for MPE/iX based HP 3000
