Migrating from NS 3000/V PAD Access to NS 3000/iX

NS X.25 Migration: NS 3000/V PAD Access to NS 3000/iX

There is no conversion tool for migrating NS 3000/V PAD access to NS 3000/iX Release 2.0 or later.

The tasks you must do in order to migrate from NS 3000/V PAD access to NS 3000/iX release 2.0 or later are as follows:

1.Make sure you have accounted for the differences that could affect your network as described in the previous sections of this appendix.

2.Make a list of the NS 3000/V PAD data that must be re-entered for the DTC. Refer to the section in this appendix called “To Save NS 3000/V PAD Parameters.”

Using Host-Based Network Management

1.Use NMMGR to conﬁgure DTS parameters on the host.

2.Complete PAD conﬁguration using NMMGR. For complete information on this, see Conﬁguring and Managing Host-Based X.25 Links.

• Remove PAD terminals from the NS 3000/V network directory.

Using PC-Based Network Management

1.Use NMMGR to conﬁgure DTS parameters on the host. For complete information on this, read Conﬁguring Systems for Terminals, Printers, an Other Serial Devices.

2.Make a list of the DTS parameters conﬁgured on the host that must also be entered into the OpenView DTC Manager. Refer to the section in this appendix called “To Save DTS Parameters on the Host.”

3.Conﬁgure the DTC by using the OpenView DTC Manager at your OpenView Windows Workstation.

• Remove PAD terminals from the NS 3000/V network directory.

Saving NS 3000/V PAD Parameters

Make a list of the following NS 3000/V parameters that must be re-entered on the DTC:

•PAD device X.25 addresses fro the NS 3000/V screen with the path:

E3000 MPE/IX, E3000/IX specifications

The HP E3000 series, particularly the E3000/IX and E3000 MPE/IX, represents a significant milestone in the evolution of business computing, developed by Hewlett-Packard (HP) during the late 1970s and early 1980s. These systems were designed to provide robust, reliable, and efficient operation for mid-sized businesses, leveraging the power of the MPE (Multi-Programming Executive) operating system.

One of the main features of the HP E3000 series is its multitasking capability. MPE/IX allows for multiple applications to run concurrently, maximizing the utilization of system resources. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that require simultaneous access to various business applications, ensuring enhanced productivity and efficiency.

The HP E3000/IX architecture is built on a powerful 16-bit or 32-bit microprocessor, enabling it to handle substantial workloads. The system architecture is known for its modular design, which allows for easy upgrades and customization. This flexibility is essential for businesses that need to adapt to changing demands without overhauling their entire computing infrastructure.

Another notable technology incorporated into the HP E3000 series is its support for a range of storage solutions. The E3000 systems were compatible with various disk drives, providing organizations with options for data storage that matched their performance and capacity requirements. Additionally, they featured advanced data management capabilities, such as built-in backup and recovery systems, ensuring that critical business information remained secure and accessible.

Beyond hardware capabilities, HP E3000/IX and MPE/IX systems provide extensive programming support. They included tools for developing custom applications, with support for languages such as COBOL, BASIC, and FORTRAN. This versatility made it easier for businesses to tailor their software solutions to their specific needs, enhancing operational effectiveness.

Networking capabilities were also a significant innovation of the E3000 series. The systems offered robust support for various networking protocols, allowing for seamless integration with other computing environments. This facilitated communication and collaboration within an organization, as well as with external partners and clients.

In summary, the HP E3000/IX and E3000 MPE/IX systems were pivotal in delivering reliable computing power to mid-sized enterprises. With their multitasking operating system, modular architecture, advanced data management, and programming support, these systems provided an adaptable and comprehensive solution for evolving business needs. The legacy of the E3000 series is evident in how it paved the way for modern enterprise computing, focusing on flexibility, scalability, and efficiency.
