Before you use NMMGR to configure DTS (the DTCs and DTC connections
for your system), you must define the physical layout and configuration
parameters for the computer, its DTCs, and all DTC-connected devices.
Configuration values that you must determine include a name
for the computer and a link name and physical path for the link
between the computer and its DTCs. You also need to associate a
name with each DTC and define the characteristics of the devices
connected to each DTC.
You must also define X.25 network values to be configured
for each DTC that contains a DTC/X.25 Network Access card. You can
configure each DTC/X.25 Network Access card to allow PAD device
connections, system-to-system X.25 connections, or both.
If you are configuring PAD connections, you can also configure
incoming security. Security can be specified to either reject or
accept incoming calls from specific addresses. The Incoming PAD
Security flowchart shown in Figure 2-1 “Incoming PAD Security Flowchart”
describes how incoming PAD calls are processed to allow or disallow
access to the host-based MPE/iX system.
On the pages that follow, information and worksheets are provided
to help define these required configuration parameters.
