Configuration Quick Start

This section provides a concise example of creating a profile, configuring new and

existing Envoy communications lines, and starting a line.

For an introduction to Envoy, see Section 2, Introduction to Envoy

For information about the SCF command syntax, see Section 5, Subsystem Control

Facility (SCF) Commands for Envoy.

You can use the WAN Wizard configuration tool to help you to configure Envoy and the

ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator. See WAN Wizard Installation and

Configuration Tool for more information.

Configuring Envoy communications lines involves one or both of the following tasks,

described in this section:

•

Configuring New Communications Lines on page 1-1

•

Reconfiguring Existing Communications Lines on page 1-7

Configuring New Communications Lines

To create an Envoy line follow steps 1 through 4 below:

Task 1: Create a PROFILE Object for the Line-Handler Process

You can create a profile for a process using the profiles listed in Table 1-1 on page 1-2.

Compaq provides all these profiles in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume. You can create

a new profile based on an existing profile or you can create your own profile from

scratch. Profile disk files specify the characteristics for a group of communications lines.

For complete information about profiles, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration and

Management Manual.
