Once the MPE/V NS configuration files have been converted for use with the
MPE/iX version of NS, reconfigure your network to account for the
implementation differences between NS 3000/V and NS 3000/iX. Run the NMMGR
utility against the configuration file generated by the file conversion process
and perform the following reconfiguration tasks:
Configure the physical path of all links for your network. This
configuration consists of a channel number (ccc) and
subchannel number (sss) in the form ccc.sss. There
is no channel or subchannel associated with NS on MPE V.
Since the LAP-B protocol is the only point-to-point link-level
protocol supported on the MPE/iX computer, you must reconfigure links
that were configured as bisynchronous links on NS 3000/V as LAP-B
links, or remove them from the network configuration.
Configure the Distributed Terminal Subsystem (DTS) according to
the needs of your installation. Refer to Configuring Systems for
Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices for instructions on
how to configure the DTS.
The above configuration tasks are a general summary of what you will need to do
to reconfigure your network to run on MPE/iX. You should be aware that there
are many changes to individual screens and screen fields. Refer to this guide
for information on individual screens and screen fields.
