system configuration The way
you tell the operating system
what peripheral I/O devices are
attached and what parameters
are required for system operation.
TCP SeeTransmissionControl
Protocol.
telenet A proprietary publicdata
network in the USA.
Telnet Access Card (TAC) A
card that resides in the DTC 48
and provides protocol conversion
between Telnet and AFCP.
Telnet Express See HP ARPA
Telnet Express.
TermDSM Terminal online
diagnostic support 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 Characterstring
of up to 16 characters specified in
the OpenView DTC Manager
configuration (for networks using
OpenView Network
Management) to define a
terminal by name. May 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 may create custom
terminal types using the
workstation configurator.
ThinLAN A LAN media that
conforms to the IEEE 802.3
Type 10 BASE 2 standard LAN.
ThinLAN 3000/iX Link
Hardwareandsoftwarenecessary
to create a broadcast network,
which uses the IEEE 802.3 LAN
cable to transmit messages to all
the nodes on the network. The
messages are then accepted only
by the node or nodes to which
they are addressed. Also includes
the ThickLAN and StarLAN 10
options.
throughput class A value
assigned to a given virtual circuit
that defines how many network
resources should be assigned to a
given call. It is determined by the
access line speed, packet and
window sizes, and the local
network's internal mechanisms.
