Where to Look
•
Manuals and conformance statements (PICS) from other vendors whose X.400
products will communicate with OSI/MHS, and manuals describing applications
you will use with OSI/MHS: for instance, third-party EDI applications and gateways
that use the Gateway Programmatic Interface (GPI)
•
Copies of the CCITT X.400 series of Recommendations for 1984 and 1988
“About This Manual” lists and describes the X.400 Recommendations and related
documents you might need to comply with specific national or international regulations
and agreements.
Manuals and Media Guide
Table 1-16 includes Compaq manuals and educational media that can help you design or
plan applications for a multiversion 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.
For brevity, Table 1-16 omits resources that describe how to set up an OSI/MHS
environment. The manuals here describe the specific configuration steps that reflect
whether a remote system or application follows 1984 or 1988 standards.
In the table, represents a manual, represents a videotape, represents a
workbook, represents a lecture course, and represents information available to
Compaq technical support personnel through the Courier application.
