Major Components

TCP/IP transport subsystem) is conﬁgured on your HP 3000 using

NMMGR. In NMMGR, conﬁgure your system’s IP address and subnet mask

in screen NEXTPORT.NI.Niname.PROTOCOL.IP. TCP should also be

conﬁgured with the recommended values in the table below using

screen NEXTPORT.GPROT.TCP. Information on the TCP/IP parameters is

available in the NS3000/iX NMMGR Screens Reference Manual from

http://docs.hp.com/mpeix.

After completing your system’s TCP/IP conﬁguration, run

:NETCONTROL START from the CI command line and verify that it

ran successfully. Also verify that your system can respond over the

network by running ping either from an HP 3000 or another system:

:run ping.net.sys;info=”15.99.200.390”

64 byte(s) from $0F0DC0CF : icmp seq = 11, time = 2 ms

64 byte(s) from $0F0DC0CF : icmp seq = 12, time = 3 ms

64 byte(s) from $0F0DC0CF : icmp seq = 13, time = 2 ms

< CONTROL-y >

C:\>ping yourserver.com

Pinging yourserver.com [15.99.200.390] with 32 bytes of data

Reply from 15.99.200.390: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=199

You will also want to get a domain name. This is a unique identiﬁer

such as “yourserver.com” which is used (instead of the IP address) to

direct requests from a browser to your server. Request a domain name

from the administrator of the Domain Name Server (DNS) on your

network.
