Configuring the X.25 Link

 

 

 

This section describes how to configure your X.25 link using HP’s System

 

 

 

Administration Manager (SAM).

 

 

 

SAM has two user interfaces: an X Window System interface, and a text

 

 

 

terminal interface. The primary components and functionality of SAM

 

 

 

are the same for both interfaces. The differences are in the screen

 

 

 

appearance and the keyboard/mouse interactions (navigation methods).

 

 

 

These interactions are described in Chapter 1 of your HP 9000 System

 

 

 

Administrator’s Manual.

 

 

 

In SAM, 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.

 

 

 

 

NOTE

 

 

HP recommends that you use SAM to configure your X.25 link.

 

 

 

Using SAM

 

 

 

 

 

 

Follow the steps below to start SAM and display the “Configure X.25

 

 

 

Card” window:

 

 

 

 

NOTE

 

 

SAM is deprecated on HP-UX 11i v3 and replaced with the enhanced

 

 

 

System Management Homepage (SMH) user interface. Users who

 

 

 

attempt to start SAM from the command line are automatically

 

 

 

redirected to the SMH user interface. SMH can be run directly in a web

 

 

 

browser window by typing 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
