This manual describes Hewlett-Packard Company's Systems Network Architecture link products for the MPE/iX operating system:

SNA/SDLC Link/iX (HP 30291A)
SNA/X.25 Link/iX (HP 30298A)
SNA/Token Ring Link/iX (HP J2249A)

Systems Network Architecture (SNA) is a comprehensive specification for distributed data processing networks, developed by IBM. This manual describes the steps in configuring the HP 3000 computer system as a node in an IBM SNA network.




	NOTE: MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. In Hewlett-Packard documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it might not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). Finally, you might encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating system for HP 3000s not based on the PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known as `compatibility mode`.
