Defining the HP e3000 System

The following configuration parameters are required to define the HP 3000 host for

asynchronous device connections.

Local HPe3000 NodeName The name by which the HP e3000 Series 900 computer is

known in your network. The format of a node name is

nodename.domain.organization, where each field can contain 16 or

fewer characters (alphanumeric, underscores, or hyphens). The first

character of each field must be alphabetic. For example:

ACCOUNTS.MKT2.HP.

Are You Using OpenView DTC Manager? Determines the method to be used for

network management. If the answer is YES then the system will be

configured using PC-based network management. If the answer is NO,

then the system will be configured using host-based network

management.

Link Name The link name that will be used by the HP e3000’s

Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS) when device

connections are established. It must start with a letter and can be up to

eight alphanumeric characters. DTSLINK is the default and should be

used for your DTS configuration.

Physical Path of LANIC (Slot# of LANIC Card) The location of the LANIC (LAN

Interface Controller Card) in the system’s backplane. The physical

path of the card is determined by the location of the card in the

backplane. Labels on the system back panel list the paths for the slots.

See the Hardware Installation manual for your system to determine

the optimum slot locations.
