into the network management configuration file (NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS).
A step-by-step procedure for updating the host’s network management
configuration file follows.
NOTE Before modifying the NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file, make a backup copy of
it. If the modifications made to the configuration file are successful,
purge the backup copy.

run NMMGR, enter the following command at the MPE prompt and
then press the
[Return] key.
NMMGR.PUB.SYS
