Task 3: Add the X25AM Profile
X25AM Profile Object
The PROFILE object in the WAN subsystem specifies the protocol to be used by a
particular I/O process on the line it controls. An X25AM profile contains modifiers and
default modifier values for the X.25 protocol. You create a profile from an object file
provided on the SUT or from a previously created profile. The object file that is
provided for X25AM is PX250061; the file is located in $SYSTEM.SYSnn.
Task 3: Add the X25AM Profile
The default profile supported by the X25AM subsystem for use with a
NonStop NS-Series or NonStop S-series server is PX250061. This type 832 file is
located in $SYSTEM.SYSnn. The file is part of the X25AM product and contains all the
X25AM I/O process modifiers and their defaults for X25AM I/O processes. If you have
already added this profile, skip this step.
To see a list of profiles that have been added already, issue the following SCF
command:
-> NNAMES PROFILE $ZZWAN.*
The output from the NAMES command tells you the profiles that have been added. If
the profile does not exist, you must add it.
To add the default profile, issue the following SCF command to the WAN subsystem:
-> ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#PX250061, FILE $SYSTEM.[SYSnn].PX250061
If you want to change any of the X25AM I/O process modifiers in the default profile,
you can specify them as in the following command example:
-> ADD PROFILE $ZZWAN.#px25c510, FILE $SYSTEM.SYS00.PX250061, &
-> CIRCUITS 510
Note. You can use SCF commands to the WAN subsystem to list profiles and to view the
modifiers contained in a profile. The INFO PROFILE command lists the devices that are using
a specified profile and lists modifiers and modifier values contained in the profile. The INFO
DEVICE command can display the profile used for the specified X25AM I/O process. For more
information about these SCF commands, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration and
Management Manual
.
Notes.
•
You can assign any name to the profile in the ADD command as long as the name satisfies
the conditions for profile names: up to 10 characters, the first character being alphabetic.
HP recommends that you use the name px250061 as the profile name for an unmodified
profile.
•
You can have more than one X25am profile but each must have a unique name.
•
You cannot alter a profile after you have added it; you must delete it, then add it again
including the required changes. Note that it is more appropriate to alter the I/O processes
that use the profile.
