NMSAMP1.PUB.SYS A sample
configuration file supplied with
FOS that can be used as a
template for DTS configuration.
NMSTART.PUB.SYS The file
which contains maintenance
mode commands executed during
NMMGR startup.
node A computer that is part of a
network. The DTC is also
considered to be a node and has
its own address.
node address The node portion
of an IP address. The IP address
consists of a node portion and a
network portion.
node management services
configuration manager See
NMMGR.
node name A character string
that uniquely identifies each
system in a network or
internetwork. Each node name in
a network or internetwork must
be unique; however, a single node
can be identified by more than
one node name.
node names list A list defined
ontheOpenViewworkstationand
subsequently downloaded to all
DTCs for which it is the “owner.”
The list specifies all of the
HP 3000 Series 900 hosts on the
LAN that are accessible from the
DTCs.
non-adjacent Describes a node
on an NS Point-to-Point 3000/iX
network that is separated from a
given node by intervening or
intermediate node.
non-nailed device A session
accepting device that is not
permanently associated with an
ldev number at configuration
time. When the user at such a
device logs on to an HP 3000
Series 900 system, an ldev is
assigned from a pool of ldevs set
aside for this purpose at
configuration time. The
association between a non-nailed
device and this temporarily
assigned ldev exists only for the
duration of the session. One
advantage of the use of
non-nailed device connections is
that configuration is simplified,
since it is not required that each
non-nailed device be individually
configured.

data communication product that
