Preparing to Configure X.25 iX System Access
Determine X.25 iX System Access Network Characteristics
Determine X.25 iX System Access Network
Characteristics
You must define the characteristics of the X.25 iX System Access link or
links that you will be configuring. You must specify a link name and
configuration for each DTC/X.25 Network Access card that will be used
for X.25 system-to-system connections.
Several of the parameters that you will configure for X.25 iX System
Access through the NS configuration must match the parameters you
configured for DTS (chapters 2 and 3). The common parameters are:
• Link name.
• DTC node name.
• Card number of the DTC/X.25 Network Access card in the DTC.
• If you configure user facility set parameters, these parameters
should also match the parameters specified in the DTS
configuration.
Once you have defined the characteristics of the X.25 network, transfer
this information onto the X.25 Configuration Worksheet and the X.25
Virtual Circuit Configuration Worksheet.
