Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Proxy node

 

LAN Configuration

The proxy field is optional. Enter Y

 

 

 

 

(yes) only if your network has

 

 

 

 

internetworks (networks with

 

 

 

 

gateways) or non-HP nodes.

 

 

 

 

Establishing a proxy node is a way of

 

 

 

 

placing node name and address

 

 

 

 

mapping information in a single

 

 

 

 

location. For more information, see

 

 

 

 

the configuration chapter for LAN

 

 

 

 

link.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote IP address

 

X.25 Virtual Circuit

In the network directory, the IP

 

 

 

Configuration

address of each node listed in the

 

 

 

 

remote node name field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote node name

 

X.25 Virtual Circuit

In the network directory, the name of

 

 

 

Configuration

each remote X.25 node on the network

 

 

 

 

 

Remote X.25 address

X.25 Virtual Circuit

For SVCs only. In the network

 

 

 

Configuration

directory, the X.25 address of the

 

 

 

 

remote host for X.25 public data

 

 

 

 

networks or private networks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Security class

 

X.25 Virtual Circuit

For SVCs only. In the network

 

 

 

Configuration

directory, the security to be applied for

 

 

 

 

connection establishment with the

 

 

 

 

remote node.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speed

 

Point-to-Point Configuration

The line transmission speed is given

 

 

 

 

in bits per second. For direct connect

 

 

 

 

the value must be supported by the

 

 

 

 

cable. Values are 1200, 2400, 4800,

 

 

 

 

9600, 19200, 38400, 56000, and

 

 

 

 

64000. The default is 56000.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Type

 

Point-to-Point Configuration

Enter DD (direct dial) if you always

 

 

 

 

want to call the same host over a dial

 

 

 

 

link. If you choose DD the remote host

 

 

 

 

does not have to be adjacent and other

 

 

 

 

nodes can be accessed through the

 

 

 

 

remote host. Enter SD if you want to

 

 

 

 

call more than one adjacent remote

 

 

 

 

node over a dial link without

 

 

 

 

reconfiguring. If you choose SD, no

 

 

 

 

other remote nodes can be accessed

 

 

 

 

through the remote host; it is an end

 

 

 

 

point in the connection. Enter DC if

 

 

 

 

the link is a leased line, private line,

 

 

 

 

or other non-switched link.
