DECnet-RSX

This document, the DECnet-RSX Guide to Network Management Utilities, provides comprehensive instructions and reference information for managing a DECnet-RSX node within a DECnet network. It covers the following utilities:

• CFE (Configuration File Editor): For modifying permanent database parameters.
• NCP (Network Control Program): For loading, controlling, monitoring, and testing network software in the volatile database.
• VNP (Virtual Network Processor): For modifying the system image file.
• CCR (Console Carrier Requester): For remote console access.
• EVF (Event File Interpreter): For formatting event logs.
• KDA (KMX/KMY Dump Analyzer): For analyzing microcode dumps.
• LCP (LAT Control Program): For controlling the Local Area Transport process.
• NDA (Network Crash Dump Analyzer): For analyzing network system crashes.
• NTD (Network Display Program): For real-time monitoring of network status.
• QUE (Queue Manager): For managing the File Transfer Spooler (FTS) queue.
• TRI (Trace Interpreter Task): For diagnosing PSI line software problems.

The guide also includes a detailed reference for error messages, process names, and object type codes, intended for network managers responsible for building and maintaining DECnet-RSX networks.
