In the comm manager NDF file you need a DEFINE_LOGICAL_LINK with
ACTIVATE_AT_STARTUP(YES), a DEFINE_LOCAL_LU, a DEFINE_PARTNER_LU,
a DEFINE_PARTNER_LU_LOCATION, and a DEFINE_DEFAULTS with
DEFAULT_LOCAL_LU_ALIAS(alias).  All but the last verb can be done thru
the GUI Comm Manager setup.  The DEFINE_PARTNER_LU_LACATION verb was the
magic bullet that allows us not to issue AVS CNOS commands on VM for eac
LU.

We did, however, find another problem.  Apparently Comm. Manager will ask
UPM (User Profile Management) for a network userid to use when allocating
the conversation with AVS.  AVS rejects the conversation and ADSM says
there has been a CPIC security error.  We can circumvent by doing an AVS
ADD USERID <luname> but, again, we want to avoid keeping a list of LUs.
If anyone knows how to set up Comm. Manager/UPM not to pass a userid, we
greatly appreciate it.
