Conﬁguring a X.25 Node

Conﬁgure an X.25 Network Interface

Facility set

The facility set name is a name for a set of X.25 connection parameters. The parameters are determined by the type of X.25 network that you are subscribed to. You can conﬁgure options in a facility set so that speciﬁed options are available for every virtual circuit or negotiated for each virtual circuit on a per-call basis. This facility set will be used when a connection is made from your node to the speciﬁed remote node or from the speciﬁed remote node to your node. A Facility Set is required for SVCs if you have speciﬁed an X.25 Address Key. The facility set name must be eight characters or less, and the ﬁrst character must be alphabetic. You can conﬁgure up to 128 facility sets.

To modify facility set parameters, enter a 5 in the ﬁeld at the bottom of the screen and press the [Go To] key. This will take you to the X.25 User Facility Sets screen. From this screen you can create new or modify existing user facility sets. See the NS 3000/iX Screens Reference Manual for more information.

Security class

The security class is the level of logical security you want to have when a connection is made to or from the speciﬁed remote node. A Security level is required for SVCs if you have speciﬁed an X.25 Address Key. The possible values are as follows:

•IO — Both incoming and outgoing calls are accepted. This is the default value.

•IN — Only incoming calls are accepted from this particular remote address. Outgoing calls will be rejected.

•OU — Only outgoing calls are accepted to this particular remote address. Incoming calls will be rejected.

•LK — Entry is locked. No call is accepted, either inbound or outbound.

For PVCs

Permanent VC number

The PVC Number identiﬁes a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) on the remote node. If you have entered a name in the X.25 Address Key ﬁeld and are conﬁguring PVCs, then you also have to enter a value for the PVC Number.
