X.25 SVC Address Key Paths  

The X.25 SVC Address Key Paths screen (#162) in figure 7-8 is displayed
when you press the [Go To SVCPATH] function key at the General X.25
Configuration screen (figure 7-5).  It is also displayed when you type
the path name:

@NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.X25.SVCPATH

in the Command window of any screen and press the [Enter] key, where
NIname is a configured X.25 NI.


          Figure 7-8.  X.25 SVC Address Key Paths 

The X.25 address key is a label which associates an X.25 address with an
IP address from the network directory.  This provides you the address of
the remote host and the values of the connection parameters you selected
to use when communicating with that host.  Every remote address defined
in the path table must be assigned a default facilities set.  You may 
configure up to 2048 SVC address keys under an X.25 NI, and if 
configuring multiple X.25 NI's, no addres key can be used more than once 
per system.

The default facilities set must be one of the defined facility sets in the
X.25 User Facility Set screen (NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.X25.FACSET).

POOL is the X.25 address key reserved for calls to and from nodes whose
addresses are not defined in this X.25 SVC Address Key Path screen.  When
a POOL X.25 address key is used, any system, even one that is not
identified in this screen, can access this node.  HP recommends that you
use the name portion of the formal node name (name.domain.organization)
as the X.25 address key.  You can have a maximum of 2048 address keys in
the SVC path tables and 128 address keys in the PVC path tables.  If 
configuring multiple X.25 NI's, no address key can be used more than once 
per system.  POOL can also be used with level 3 programmatic access when
specifying an X.25 address directly in a NetIPC call (for example, the
IPCDEST call)


NOTE  For DDN networks, the X.25 address is derived from the remote IP
      address and you are not required to know the remote X.25 address.
      Mapping is only required between the X.25 address key and the
      facility set.


Fields 

X.25 address key          (Required.)  The X.25 address key identifies a
                          remote node to which your node can establish a
                          connection.  The address key can have up to
                          eight alphanumeric characters, the first of
                          which must be alphabetic.

X.25 address              This is the X.25 address of the remote node for
                          X.25 public data networks (PDN) or a private
                          X.25 network.  The X.25 address can have up to
                          15 digits.  The X.25 address will not be used
                          if you configure a POOL address key, or if you
                          are configuring a link for a DDN network.

                          Default:  None.

Default facilities set    The name of one of the facility sets you
name                      defined at the User Facility Set screen.  This
                          set of facilities is associated with the
                          connections you have previously defined.

                          This field is required if you define an address
                          key.

                          Default:  None

Security                  The level of security you wish to assign to
                          this particular entry.  The possible values are
                          as follows:

                             *   IN is the level of security you assign
                                 to accept only incoming calls from the
                                 specified remote address.

                             *   OU is the level of security you assign
                                 to accept only outgoing calls to the
                                 specified remote address.  All incoming
                                 calls are rejected.

                             *   IO is the level of security you assign
                                 to accept both incoming and outgoing
                                 calls.

                             *   LK is the level of security you assign
                                 to lock this entry so that no calls,
                                 incoming or outgoing, are accepted.  LK
                                 is useful if you are using POOL to
                                 accept calls from all nodes, but you
                                 want to exclude a few nodes from
                                 accessing this node.  Enter the nodes
                                 you want to restrict in this screen and
                                 specify LK as the security.

                          This field is required if you defined an
                          address key.

                          Default:  IO
