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.
