Introduction

The purpose of this manual is to provide an overview of the procedures used to integrate and customize

the NetEx/IP components onto a NESiGate channel offload platform, and to provide a description of the

command and web browser interfaces.

This manual is divided into the following sections:

1) Software Installation: Installation of NESiGate software on the hardware platform is covered in

the NESiGate Common Reference Manual. Refer to that guide, then return to this manual to com-

plete the configuration of NESiGate as a Channel Offload (CO) type device

2) Customization: this section is targeted to the end-user who is responsible for customizing the NE-

SiGate appliance for use as a NetEx/IP channel offload device. It is assumed the NESiGate already

has the appropriate level of the system software installed. To complete the customization, the read-

er must be familiar with channel device and network addressing concepts.

3) Web Browser Interface: this section is targeted to the end-user who is responsible for customizing

the NESiGate appliance for use as a NetEx/IP channel offload device, and who is responsible for

configuring and controlling operational aspects of the device.

Customization

Overview

The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the procedures used to complete the customiza-

tion of the NESiGate Offload channel-to-IP NetEx/IP gateway for use with NetEx/IP offload products.

This section is targeted to the end-user responsible for customizing a NESiGate appliance for use as a

NetEx/IP offload channel device. It is assumed the NESiGate already has the appropriate level of the

system software installed. To complete the customization, the reader must be familiar with channel de-

vice and network addressing concepts.

The customization process consists of these major steps:

1. Configure NESiGate

2. Configure NetEx/IP

3. Update DNS or local ‘hosts’ file (optional)

4. Reboot NESiGate

Device addressing

Prior to performing the Device and IP customization tasks, it would be beneficial to review NESiGate

device and network addressing concepts.

There are three important addressing elements involved in delivering NetEx/IP channel data that is not

IP-aware, and transferring it over an IP network to the correct destination:

•Device Number

•GNA Address

•IP Address

Device Number

The Device Number on the host and Device Index on the NESiGate channel board are numeric repre-

sentations of the same unique "device". On the Host operating system, a "Device Number" is mapped

as a Unit Address on a Logical Control Unit (a physical control unit may consist of from 1-16 logical

control units). The Physical Control Unit may be connected to a Port on an ESCON Director. Multiple

inbound Host channels may be connected to the ESCON Director and provide connectivity to the device

from multiple partitions (LPARs) across multiple hosts.
