This chapter describes how to use the PMDF-XGS configuration utility. The configuration produded by this utility provides support for interchanging messages with any number of SNADS nodes routed through a single "adjacent" SNADS node, that is, using a single SNADS channel. If you want to use multiple SNADS channels, for instance because you have disjoint collections of SNADS nodes, you should first configure and test PMDF-XGS connecting to one set of SNADS nodes. The steps to add additional SNADS channels are described in the PMDF System Manager's Guide.
