Configuring the Network Directory
Configure Path Report Data for a Node
Step 4. If appropriate for the type of path you are configuring, enter an address in the Additional Address field. (Type 1 requires no additional address. Types 2, 5, and 6 require a station address. Type 3 requires an X.25 address key. See additional explanation under “Fields.”
Step 5. Press the [Save Data] key.
Step 6. Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4 for each path report for the specified node.
If you need to make additional entries in the network directory, press the [Prior Screen] key to return to the Network Directory Select Node Name screen. If you have finished making network directory entries, home the cursor and type EXIT in the command field, then press [ENTER].
FieldsTransport services
These three fields describe the transport services that should be configured in each path.
TCP | TCP must be Y (yes) for all nodes. The |
| default is Y. |
Checksum | The checksum setting indicates |
for TCP | |
| whether checksumming is optional (N) |
| or required (Y) for TCP. If this field is |
| set to N, then the use of checksums is |
| not requested when communicating |
| with this node. If this field is set to Y |
| then checksums are used when |
| communicating with this node. |
| Checksumming is required for |
| communication to |
| default is N. |
PXP | PXP must be Y (yes) for all nodes. The |
| default is Y. |
Note that the selection of transport services here must match the settings in the remote node’s configuration file. If the checksum enabled field in the path NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP of this node is set to Y, then TCP checksum field in the network directory should also be set to Y.
IP address One IP address should be entered for each network interface configured on the remote node that is directly reachable from this node. Each address must match an IP address configured in the remote node’s configuration file. The path of the screen in the configuration file that contains IP addresses is NETXPORT.NI.NIname.PROTOCOL.IP.
