Configuring Expand-Over-X.25 Lines
X.25 is a standard for private and public networks that use packet-switching
technology. Expand-over-X.25 connections are provided by the HP X.25 Access
Method (X25AM) product. The Expand-over-X.25 line-handler process uses the
NETNAM protocol to access the network access method (NAM) interface provided by
an X25AM line-handler process.
An Expand-over-X.25 line-handler process can be configured as a single line, as part
of a multi-line path, or as part of a multi-CPU path. This section explains how to
configure an Expand-over-X.25 line-handler process as a single-line or as part of a
multi-CPU path. Configuring Expand-over-X.25 lines that are part of a multi-line path is
explained in Section 14, Configuring Multi-Line Paths.
Required Hardware and Software
Several hardware and software components are required in addition to the Expand-
over-X.25 line-handler process to provide Expand-over-X.25 connectivity. These
components are illustrated in Figure 10-1 and are explained in the following
subsections.
