Preparing to Conﬁgure DTCs

Conﬁguring With NMMGR

NMMGR, the Node Management Conﬁguration Manager, is the utility

used by HP 3000 Series 900 to conﬁgure asynchronous device

connections. The parameters described previously in this chapter are

entered in NMMGR through a screen-by-screen user interface. These

parameters are then stored by NMMGR into the HP 3000 network

conﬁguration ﬁle NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. You must have Node

Administrator (NA) or Node Manager (NM) capability to run NMMGR.

Additionally, you must have System Manager (SM) capability to

perform automatic SYSGEN cross-validation. You must be logged on

the SYS account to modify the conﬁguration ﬁle.

To start NMMGR, type the following command at the MPE prompt:

NMMGR.PUB.SYS

Figure 2-9 shows the screen ﬂow for conﬁguring terminals, printers,

and other serial devices in NMMGR. Use the function keys that are

located at the bottom of each screen to visit the next screen on the

ﬂowchart. The [Prior Screen] key can be used to display the screen most

recently visited prior to the current screen as shown in the ﬂowchart.

Chapter 3, “Conﬁguring DTCs Step-by-Step,” shows the step-by-step

process for conﬁguring terminals, printers, and other serial devices

using NMMGR, for host-based management.

NOTE

You can use the NMMGR maintenance mode interface to manage

network directory and conﬁguration ﬁles. You can also use the interface

to generate job streams to update remote network directory and

conﬁguration ﬁles. Refer to the Conﬁguring Systems for Terminals,

Printers, and other Serial Devices manual for more information on the

maintenance mode commands and the SUMMARYCONF command.

NOTE

In addition to the DTS subsystem, NMMGR is used to conﬁgure other

network subsystems on the HP 3000 Series 900, such as NS (Network

Services), IBM, and OSI. NMMGR provides many functions and

utilities that are beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to Using the

Node Management Services for detailed information on NMMGR.
