New Product and Enhancements In This NMMGR Screens Reference Manual

The following is a list of new network product and major enhancements for
MPE/iX Release 5.0.

New Product 

   *   Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) 3000/iX Network Link
       (J2245A) provides HP 3000 Series 900 HP-IB systems with a fiber
       optic single-attach station (SAS) connection to the 100 Mb/s dual
       counter-rotating ring network through a third-party FDDI
       concentrator meeting the ISO 9314 FDDI standards.  One FDDI link
       is supported per system.

Product Enhancements 

   *   Increased support of X.25 SVC paths, from 1024 to 2048.

   *   Additional LAN support added to allow up to two active LAN's per
       system.  This functionality applies to 802.3 and has no effect on
       FDDI or Token Ring.

   *   Increased number of supported phone numbers per NI Router Mapping,
       from 256 to 1024.

Documentation Map 

The following documentation map is intended to be a general guideline to
the manuals containing information related to the product described in
this manual.  You may need information from one or all the manuals listed
here.


            

Preface 

This manual documents functionality for the MPE/iX 5.0 release, as well
as later releases for HP 3000 Series 900 systems.

This reference manual assumes that you are familiar with your network
topology.

NMMGR is an interface used to configure Local Area Networks (LANs),
point-to-point (router) networks, token ring networks, FDDI, and X.25
networks.  The NMMGR screens described in this manual are accompanied by
parameter descriptions that give you ideas on which values are
appropriate for your network.  Ultimately it is up to you to decide which
values to supply depending on how the network is used and maintained.

Special Note 

MPE/iX, Multiprogramming Executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest
in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line
of computers.

In HP documentation and in talking with HP 3000 users, you will encounter
references to MPE XL, the direct predecessor of MPE/iX. MPE/iX is a
superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without
change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation,
although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to
support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories).

Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating
system for HP 3000s, not based on the PA-RISC architecture.  MPE V
software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known
as compatibility mode.

Helpful Manuals 

This manual is intended as a reference for those who need detailed
information about NS3000/iX configuration screens and their fields.  Not
all parts of the NMMGR screens set are described in this manual.  The
following paragraphs describe where to find information about other
aspects of NMMGR and network configuration.

The planning you should do before attempting to configure a network is
discussed in the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide 
(36922-90033).

An introduction to the generic use of the NMMGR utility, including
discussions of the first levels of selection menus and of the utility
screen branch, can be found in Using the Node Management Services (NMS) 
Utilities (32022-90041).

The NMMGR screens that are associated with configuring the terminal,
printer, and other serial device connections made through the
Datacommunications and Terminal Controller (DTC) are described in
Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices 
(32022-61000).

Related Publications 

   *   HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide(36922-90033)
       provides information for planning your network and also provides
       step-by-step instructions for using guided configuration to
       configure network links.
