Host Configuration Overview

Before communication between the HP 3000 and the IBM SNA host system is possible, both systems must be configured. The host configuration should be done first, and it consists of changes to the system generations of one or more of the following, as applicable for the SNA link being used:

The ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI generations must be coordinated with the SNA node configuration on the HP 3000. Coordination between the various host subsystems and the SNA services also must be done. The relationships between host parameters and HP 3000 configuration values are explained later in this chapter and in the Node Manager's Guide for each SNA service. Your IBM system programmer should send copies of the host configuration to you or your Hewlett-Packard support contact, so that this coordination can be accomplished.

The HP SNA Products Remote System Configuration Guide (J2220-61025) explains ACF/NCP, ACF/VTAM, and X.25 NPSI configuration for the SNA links.
