Plan the Network Configuration
Before you use NMMGR to configure DTS (the DTCs and DTC connections for your
system), you must define the physical layout and configuration parameters for the
computer, its DTCs, and all DTC-connected devices.
Configuration values that you must determine include a name for the computer and a
link name and physical path for the link between the computer and its DTCs. You also
need to associate a name with each DTC and define the characteristics of the devices
connected to each DTC.
You must also define X.25 network values to be configured for each DTC that contains a
DTC/X.25 Network Access card. You can configure each DTC/X.25 Network Access card
to allow PAD device connections, system-to-system X.25 connections, or both.
On the pages that follow, information and worksheets are provided to help define these
required configuration parameters.
