MPE/iX SNA Product Configuration (contd) X.25 NPSI Requirements 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.
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.
Common SVC and PVC Parameters. Tables 1-14 contains NPSI parameters that are common to both Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) and Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs).
NOTE Table 1-14 contains those parameters that are added to the BUILD statement for X.25 NPSI. It does not contain all of the parameters that are necessary for a complete BUILD statement.

There are two methods that can be used to define an SVC: * Use the X25.LINE macro, the X25.PU macro, and the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs. * Use the X25.VC macro and the Switched Major Node parameters for SVCs. 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.
