MPE/iX SNA Product Configuration This section covers remote system configuration requirements for the following MPE/iX SNA products: * SNA/SDLC Link/iX * SNA/X.25 Link/iX * SNA/Token Ring Link/iX * SNA DHCF/iX * SNA IMF/iX * SNA NRJE/iX * LU 6.2 API/iX * HP SNADS/iX This section presents the requirements for: * ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM for switched and non-switched lines * NCP Token-Ring Interconnection (NTRI) * X.25 NCP Packet Switching Interface (NPSI) * logmode table parameters. ACF/NCP and ACF/VTAM Requirements 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.
WARNING The HP SNA products are emulations of IBM products. Thus, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable. Operands not listed are not allowed in the HP SNA services definitions and therefore are not supported. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis.
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. Switched Lines. 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.

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.
WARNING The HP SNA products are emulations of IBM products. Thus, some parameters will need particular values based on the requirements of the HP products. Code these as specified or results are unpredictable. Operands not listed are not allowed in the HP SNA services definitions and therefore are not supported. Any time spent solving problems related to incorrect configuration of the host is billable to the customer on a time and materials basis.
NTRI Parameters. 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.
