HP X.25/9000 User's Guide HP-UX 11i v3 (5900-1523, August 2011)

In order for two cards (on the same host) to communicate, one card must be configured as the DTE
and the other card as DCE.
To set up a card as DCE, use the x25init command and enter DCE_80, DCE_84 or DCE_88
(according to the standard you are using) in the networktype parameter.
You must also make sure that the two cards are using compatible level 2 parameters.
Once both cards are initialized, you can run x25check and x25server to verify the connections.
If x25check completes successfully in this setup but does not complete successfully with the switch
in place, the switch is incorrectly configured. Check with your network provider for correct switch
configuration.
Configuration and troubleshooting commands
This section provides a brief summary of X.25 commands and indicates where further information
