Chapter 4. Starting the 3745 Integration
The 3745 runs under the control of the Network Control Program (NCP). Any
configuration changes that you make must be known to NCP. You use the MOSS
(or the MOSS-E, if you have it) to inform the NCP of hardware changes through the
MOSS configuration data file (CDF) and the MOSS-E configuration data
file - extended (CDF-E).
These procedures are performed at initial installation and during later modifications
of your 3745.
Initial installation refers to the first installation of your 3745 or its re-installation after
moving the communication controller. This is done with the help of the IBM service
representative.
Later modifications refer to changes made at any other time. These later
modifications do not always require a service representative to be present.
Starting Procedure
The following procedure guides you through the remaining chapters according to
the tasks that you want to accomplish.
Note: Always save the new configuration (the CDF and CDF-E) on a diskette
when you make changes in the MOSS or MOSS-E.
