Network Configuration Overview 

Information required for network configuration on the host is contained
in one file.  The name of this configuration file is NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. 

When building a new configuration file, it is not necessary to define
every field.  This is because a sample configuration file is supplied
with the MPE/iX operating system.  The sample configuration file is
called NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS.Hewlett-Packard recommends using the sample file
as a template for initial configuration.


CAUTION  Use the sample configuration file for first time configurations
         only.  Information previously configured using NMMGR, and stored
         in NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS, will be overwritten when the sample file is
         copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.


The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS file can be modified using NMMGR. Only one
configuration file can be active at a time and the active file must be
called NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. Accordingly, modified or new configuration files
must be copies to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS before they can be used by the system.


CAUTION  If ANY other configuration file is copied to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS or
         NMCONFIX.PUB.SYS then dynamic configuration will be disabled
         until a DTS shutdown and restart is done or the system is
         rebooted.  This includes other files from the same system or
         files copied from other systems.
