This chapter provides step-by-step instructions for configuring Datacommunications and Terminal Controllers (DTCs) for systems using host-based network management. If you are using this manual to configure DTCs, it is assumed that X.25 network connections will be part of the host-based configuration.

Before using NMMGR to configure DTCs, you should complete the worksheets provided. See Chapter 2 "Preparing to Configure DTCs" for more information on planning your configuration and filling out the configuration worksheets.

This chapter includes step-by-step instructions to help you perform the following tasks:
  • Configure host information.
  • Configure information for each DTC connected to the system.
  • Configure information for each direct connect and modem card contained in any DTC connected to the system.
  • Configure information for each DTC/X.25 Network Access card contained in any DTC connected to the system, including:

    • X.25 level 1, 2, and 3 parameters.
    • System-to-system local user group information.
    • Nailed PAD connections and PAD security.
  • Validate your network configuration (SYSGEN cross-validation is done automatically within NMMGR).

Note
NOTE: If you are configuring a system that does not require X.25 system-to-system or PAD configuration, use Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices instead of this manual.
