NOTE

Configuring the X.25 Link

This section describes how to configure your X.25 link using HP System Management Homepage(SMH).

HP SMH provides Graphical User Interface (GUI), Terminal User Interface (TUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing HP-UX. You can access these interfaces using the smh command (/usr/sbin/smh).

If the DISPLAY environment variable is set, HP SMH opens in the default web browser. If the DISPLAY environment variable is not set, HP SMH opens in the TUI. For more information, see the HP-UX 11i v3 release notes and the SMH product online help.

In SMH, the term “card” refers to a particular X.25 interface. Dual-port cards have two interfaces. In this context, an interface is the same as a port.

System Administration Manager (SAM) is deprecated on HP-UX 11i v3 and replaced with the enhanced HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH). Users who attempt to start SAM from the command line interface are automatically redirected to the SMH user interface. SMH can be run directly in a web browser window by entering http://hostname:2301. In the Graphical User Interface (GUI), after logging in, the SMH main menu is displayed. Select Tools > networking and communications > network interface cards > choose X.25. For more information on SMH, see the HP System Management Homepage Release Notes (Part Number:381383-009) on
