Configuring FTAM Application Entities

The OSI/AS Configuration and Management Manual provides an illustration showing

step-by-step configuration of an application entity. Figure 3-8 on page 3-60 and

Figure 3-9

on page 3-64 show how such an application entity could be configured for an

FTAM initiator and for an FTAM responder, following the example configuration

discussed in this section and in Appendix A, Example FTAM Configuration Command

Files. The diagrams give the SCF commands for entering the necessary information into

the APLMGR MIB and the OSI manager MIB. Dark arrows on the diagrams show how

the object configurations interrelate, as described in the text.

The figures show the commands required to configure an FTAM initiator and responder

in the APLMGR MIB, and the commands required to configure all local addresses and

the associated processes and profiles in the OSI manager MIB. However, note that

Figure 3-8

on page 3-60 does not show the configuration in the OSI manager MIB of a

common name and address for the remote responder, which are required if your Tandem

FTAM application uses remote common names. For the complete example SCF

command file, including commands to configure the address and common name of the

remote responder, see Appendix A, Example FTAM Configuration Command Files.

Initiator Application Entity

Figure 3-8 on page 3-60 shows the configuration of the first initiator, $FTI1, in the

example in Appendix A, Example FTAM Configuration Command Files.
