Where to Look
Manuals and Media Guide
Table 1-14 includes Compaq manuals and educational media that help you manage a
messaging network. Items are listed in one possible reading order, but you will certainly
find yourself moving back and forth among the manuals as you work. (If you will not
be using the Transfer gateway to give users of Transfer access to the X.400 network,
you do not need the manuals for Transfer or the NonStop Transaction Services/MP
product.)
If you wish to automate management of your network, you also need the list of manuals
in Table 1-15, later in this section, as well as the management programming manuals for
parts of the system you wish to control. For instance, to write an application that
monitors all of the OSI processes, you need the OSI/MHS Management Programming
Manual, the OSI/AS Management Programming Manual, and either or both of the
X25AM Management Programming Manual and the TLAM Management Programming
Manual.
If you wish to use the Compaq Master Password Server or to develop a custom
password server process, you also need the OSI/MHS Management Programming
Manual.

workbook, represents a lecture course, and represents information available to
Compaq technical support personnel through the Courier application.
