Guided/Unguided Configuration
Hewlett-Packard recommends that you press the [Guided Config] key to
select the guided configuration branch whenever you need to initially
configure a network interface. Guided configuration supplies many
default values for your configuration and requires that you visit a
minimal number of screens. This manual provides information on every
screen available to you through unguided NS configuration.
The
[Unguided Config] key is used to modify configuration values that
are not available in the guided screens. To use the unguided
configuration screens, refer to the NS 3000/iX NMMGR Screens
Reference Manual.

The name of this system in the ARPANET standard
format. This name can be used by other nodes on the
network to access this host.
The domain name is composed of labels, with each label
separated by a period. Each label must start with a
letter or digit, and have as interior characters only
letters, digits, hyphens (-), or underbars (_). A domain
name may have any number of labels, but its total
length, including periods, is limited to 255 characters.

Domain names are not case sensitive.
Use of domain names is optional. If you are not using
domain names for network access, leave the local node
name in this field.
