Step 4. Entering the Configuration Data
You can configure the 3708 from the 3708 Configuration & Password Menu
(MI20.0) for device attachment. Use the information gathered during configuration
planning to complete the configuration screens. If you have not already planned the
configuration parameters, see Chapter 13, "Configuration Procedures," for a
detailed description of the configuration process.
For an example of a network configuration, see Appendix B, "3708 Configuration
Example."
Note: The IBM-supplied configuration is the initial configuration that is shipped in
the IBM 3708 and that is described in Appendix A, "IBM-Supplied Configuration."
This configuration provides the maximum number of control terminal connection
possibilities.
It
does not provide a working network configuration.
After the 3708 is configured and is working correctly, print or copy the configuration
on the 3708 configuration forms. Appendix C, "3708 Configuration Forms,"
contains configuration forms. You can use these forms or printouts to configure
other 3708s.
Note: You can permanently reinstate the IBM-supplied configuration by entering
special values in the Name and Version fields on the General Definition screen
(CI27.1). See Chapter 14, "Defining the General Definition," for more information
about the values for these fields. You can also temporarily reinstate the
IBM-supplied configuration by the procedure described in Chapter 14.
Step 5. Activating the Configuration
To activate the configuration, do one of the following:
• Turn the 3708 off and back on again.
• Restart the 3708 (select option 5 on the Main Menu) using the control terminal.
Otherwise, continue with "Step 6. Ending the Control Terminal Session" on
page 12-10.
Notes:
1. If you configure the 3708 from a remote, switched connection, restarting the
3708 causes the line to disconnect. Reestablish the connection to perform any
other functions.
2. The configuration data is stored in nonvolatile (EEPROM) memory in the 3708
base, not in the cartridge. You can replace the cartridge or turn off the 3708
and turn it back on again without reconfiguring the 3708. Turn off the 3708
whenever you remove or install a cartridge.
3. Activating the configuration ends the control terminal session. Continue with
"Step 7. Connecting the Cables" on page 12-13.
