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:

   *   ACF/NCP

   *   ACF/VTAM

   *   X.25 NPSI

   *   Host application subsystems (for example, CICS, IMS, and JES2)
       that have an interface with the SNA services

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.
