6 Configuring Serial Devices (for
PC-Based Management)
This chapter describes NMMGR configuration steps that you need to perform for
PC-based management (that is, when the DTCs are managed by an OpenView Windows
Workstation). For information on configuring for host-based management, refer to
Chapter 5, “Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management).”
NOTE If you are configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a HP e3000 Series 900 computer
using host-based network management, use Configuring and Managing Host-Based
X.25 Links instead of this manual to configure DTCs and DTC connections.
If you are using PC-based management to manage your DTCs, most of the configuration
is done on the OpenView DTC Manager.
However, you still need to use NMMGR to configure the following information:
• DTS information on the HP e3000, such as: the HP e3000’s node name, the link
name, and the physical path of the LANIC (the slot number where the LAN Interface
Card resides on the HP 3000).
• The maximum number of devices that can log onto the HP 3000 system at one time.
• DTC information. For each DTC with nailed ports that will communicate with the
HP e3000, you need to configure DTC information in NMMGR; such as: DTC name,
DTC node name, and types of cards in the DTC.
• Port configuration for each nailed device, such as printers and UPSs, and terminals
that will be accessed programmatically.
NOTE If you want the current HP e3000 system to be able to accept DTC connections through a
Telnet Express Server (HP 2344A), that is, connections from terminals on systems
running ARPA, you must configure the profile for the non-nailed terminals to be a
modem profile.
