Configuring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links

Chapter 2  Preparing to Configure DTCs 

This chapter details the information you will need before you can
configure the datacommunications and terminal subsystem (DTS) for
host-based systems that include X.25 networking.  DTS defines the
physical connections and configuration parameters for the computer, its
DTCs, and all DTC-connected devices.Sample worksheets are included to
facilitate configuration.

Hewlett-Packard recommends that you complete the DTS configuration before
configuring any NS network capabilities for your system.

This chapter describes how to:

   *   Plan the DTS configuration.

   *   Determine terminal and printer characteristics.

   *   Determine DTC characteristics.

   *   Determine X.25 network characteristics for both PAD and
       system-to-system connections.

       _________________________________________________________________ 

       NOTE  If you are not configuring X.25 networking capabilities on a
             system using host- based network management, you should use
             Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other 
             Serial Devices (32022-61000) instead of this manual to
             configure DTCs and DTC connections.
