Configuring an X.25 Node
To Configure an X.25 Network Interface
must configure an X.25 address key for each remote
node with which your node will be communicating. You
have a combined maximum of 1024 X.25 address keys
in the SVC and PVC path tables. The X.25 address key
name must be eight characters or less and the first
character must be alphabetic. A default address key
called POOL allows any system to access the local
system even if the remote system’s address is not
configured. POOL can also be used when level 3
programmatic access (NetIPC) provides an X.25
address.

Interface
(NI) name Display only.
SVC or PVC
Parameters The parameters for assigning either SVCs or PVCs are
described in the following paragraphs.
For SVCs Remote X.25
address The remote X.25 address is the remote node’s X.25
address. This address is required for SVCs if you have
specified an X.25 address key. This address must be
15 digits or less.
Facility set The facility set name is a name for a set of X.25
connectionparameters. The parameters are determined
by the type of X.25 network that you are subscribed to.
You can configure options in a facility set so that
specified options are available for every virtual circuit
or negotiated for each virtual circuit on a per-call basis.
This facility set will be used when a connection is made
from your node to the specified remote node or from the
specified remote node to your node. A Facility Set is
required for SVCs if you have specified an X.25 Address
Key. The facility set name must be eight characters or
less, and the first character must be alphabetic. You can
configure up to 128 facility sets.
To modify facility set parameters, enter a 5 in the field
at the bottom of the screen and press the
[Go To] key.
This will take you to the X.25 User Facility Sets screen.
From this screen you can create new or modify existing
user facility sets. See the NS 3000/iX Screens
Reference Manual for more information.
