switching See DTC switching.
Switching user interface The
user interface available when
DTC switching is enabled that
allows terminal users to choose
the HP 3000 Series 900 computer
with which they want to establish
a communication link.
synchronous A mode of
operation or transmission in
which a continuous data stream
is generated without intervals
between characters. The data
stream is synchronized by clock
signals at the receiver and
transmitter. As a result, fast
transmission speeds (above
9600 bps) are attainable.
SYSGEN The software program
that allows you to configure the
operating system on HP 3000
Series 900 computers.
system configuration The
method for telling the operating
system what peripheral I/O
devices are attached and what
parameters are required for
system operation.
T
TCP See transmission control
protocol.
telenet A proprietary publicdata
network in the USA.
TermDSM Terminal online
diagnostic system manager. A
utility that provides diagnostic
services for DTC connections by
means of a series of commands
accessible through the SYSDIAG
utility. TermDSM is used only
when DTCs are managed by a
host system.
terminal name A character
string of up to 16 characters
specified in the OpenView DTC
Manager configuration (for
networks using OpenView
Network Management) to define
a terminal by name. It can be
shared by several terminals (pool
port).
terminal profile A set of
configuration characteristics that
can be associated with one or
more terminals through the
NMMGR configuration. Terminal
profile specifications include the
terminal type, line speed, device
class assignment, and other
values relevant to terminals
connected through a DTC.
terminal type A collection of
characteristics that cause a
terminal connected to an MPE
system to act and react in a
specified manner. You may
configure a terminal to use one of
the system-supplied terminal
types, or you can create custom
terminal types using the
workstation configurator.
ThinLAN A LAN that conforms
to the IEEE 802.3 Type 10
BASE 2 standard LAN.
