MPE/iX SNA Product Configuration |

This section covers remote system configuration requirements for the following MPE/iX SNA products:
This section presents the requirements for:
The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the entire VTAM domain and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system. The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/iX SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Definitions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system.
For MPE/iX SNA products, more than one PU may be defined for an HP 3000. A maximum of eight PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 with SDLC links. Multiple PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 SNA Token Ring Link. The number of PUs defined depends upon the number of SNA Link products installed. A maximum of 255 LUs can be configured for each HP 3000 PU. For SNA NRJE/iX, it is recommended that at least three LUs be defined. SNA IMF can support a maximum of 64 LUs. The LU 6.2 products can start a maximum of eight LUs. See the MPE/iX SNA product documentation for more information on configuration requirements. Tables 1-9 and 1-10 define the parameters necessary to connect MPE/iX SNA products to a switched line. Any values listed that are not required are given as examples. See Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system for more information. Table 1-9 MPE/iX SNA Products: NCP/VTAM Switched Line
Table 1-10 MPE/iX SNA Products: VTAMLST Switched Major Node
Table 1-11 defines the parameters necessary to connect MPE/iX SNA products to a leased (non-switched) line. See Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system for more information. Table 1-11 MPE/iX SNA Products: NCP/VTAM Non-Switched Line
This section defines the Network Control Program Token-Ring Interconnection (NTRI) parameters that are necessary for a successful connection between a host and MPE/iX SNA products. The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the whole network and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system. The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/iX SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Definitions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system.
NTRI is an NCP function that allows a communications controller to be attached to an IBM Token-Ring network. NTRI provides SNA subarea and peripheral nodes with data link control services. Table 1-12 contains NTRI parameters that are defined in NCP. Table 1-13 contains the VTAM switched major node parameters for NTRI. Table 1-12 MPE/iX SNA Products: NTRI Parameters
Table 1-13 MPE/iX SNA Products: NTRI Switched Major Node
This section defines the X.25 Network Control Program Packet Switching Interface (NPSI) parameters that are necessary for a successful connection between a host and MPE/iX SNA products. The ACF/VTAM start parameters refer to the table and buffer size definitions that ACF/VTAM uses to configure the resource requirements for the network. Because start parameters apply to the whole network and are not specific to the remote node, HP does not make any suggestions. HP does recommend that the ACF/VTAM system programmer review the defined values and make any adjustments for additional requirements put on the system. The tables in this section contain the parameters that HP allows for its MPE/iX SNA products. Operands and values that you must specify are noted. The tables also contain other operands that are allowed. For operand definitions, refer to the section Parameter Definitions at the end of this chapter, or to the appropriate NCP or VTAM manual for the remote system.
Tables 1-14 contains NPSI parameters that are common to both Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) and Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).
Table 1-14 MPE/iX SNA Products: Common SVC/PVC Parameters
Table 1-15 defines the NPSI parameters that are necessary to connect to a PVC. See the Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the NPSI manual for the remote system for more information. Table 1-15 MPE/iX SNA Products: PVC NPSI Parameters
There are two methods that can be used to define an SVC:
The method chosen depends upon the remote system. See the Parameter Descriptions at the end of this chapter or refer to the NPSI manual for the remote system for more information. Table 1-16 defines the NPSI parameters that are necessary to connect to an SVC. Table 1-17 defines the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs. For MPE/iX SNA products, more than one PU may be defined for an HP 3000 node. A maximum of eight PUs can be defined for each HP 3000 node. The number of PUs defined depends upon the number of SNA Link products installed. A maximum of 64 LUs can be configured for each HP 3000 PU. For SNA NRJE/V, it is recommended that at least three LUs be defined. SNA IMF can support a maximum of 64 LUs. The LU 6.2 products can start a maximum of eight LUs. See the MPE/V SNA product documentation for more information on configuration requirements. Table 1-16 MPE/iX SNA Products: SVC NPSI Parameters
