Using NMMGR in Screen Mode
Selecting a Configuration Path
You will perform a number of tasks using these screens, including the
following:
• Define the DTS link configuration for the system.
• Define connection capabilities for terminals, printers, and other
serial devices that will be able to communicate with the system.
• Define terminal, printer, and other serial device profiles specifying
sets of characteristics that can be applied to various terminals,
printers, or other serial devices connected to the system and
associate the profiles with individual devices. The screen in Figure
3-4 reflects PC-based network management only. The Host-based
management screen will vary slightly.
See the following manuals for more information on configuring DTCs
and serial devices:
• Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial
Devices.
• (Host-based X.25 configuration only) Configuring and Managing
Host-Based X.25 Links.
• (PC-based configuration only) Using the OpenView DTC Manager.
Configuring NS 3000/iX
The NS 3000/iX product consists of NS 3000/iX Network Services and
NS 3000/iX links. NS 3000/iX Network Services contain software that
allows you to access data, initiate processes, and exchange information
between all the systems on a network. NS 3000/iX links provide
connections between systems (either HP e3000s or personal computers)
in a network. To use NS 3000/iX Network Services, the systems must be
connected by an NS 3000/iX link and each link must be properly
configured through NMMGR.
If you press the key labeled
[NS] at the Main screen, you are taken to
the NS Configuration screen (Figure 3-4), the first screen in a
progression that lets you configure NS.
