software components: the X.25 iX System
Access (residing on the HP e3000 host),
and the DTC/X.25 Network Access.
DTC/X.25 Network Access is configured
through use of the OpenView DTC
Manager software for systems using
PC-based network management or
throughNMMGR for systems using
host-based network management.
DTC/X.25 Network Access card The
hardware card and channel adapter that
provides X.25 Network Access. It resides in
the Datacommunications and Terminal
Controller (DTC).
DTC/X.25 iX Network Link Software
and hardware that provides MPE/iX access
to private and public X.25 networks. The
X.25 iX System Access software resides on
an HP e3000 host and is configured
through use of NMMGR. The DTC/X.25
Network Access software resides on the
Datacommunications and Terminal
Controller and is configured at the
OpenView Windows Workstation for
PC-based management and through
NMMGR for host-based management.
DTE Data Terminal Equipment.
Equipment that converts user information
into data-transmission signals or
reconverts received data signals into user
information. Data terminal equipment
operates in conjunction with data
circuit-terminating equipment.
DTS Datacommunications and Terminal
Subsystem. This consists of all of the
Datacommunications and Terminal
Controllers (DTCs) on a LAN, their LANIC
cards (attached to the host), the LAN cable,
and the host and DTC software that
controls all related DTS hardware.
DTS restart The startup of the DTS
subsystem using the DTCCNTRL
command file after DTS has been shut
down.
DTS shutdown The shutdown of the DTS
subsystem, including the release of all
TIO-related resources, using the
DTCCNTRL command file.
duplex A transmission method that allows
two-way communication. If both ends of the
transmission link can transmit
simultaneously, it is called full duplex. If
only one end can transmit at a time, it is
half-duplex transmission.
dynamic configuration The ability to
make DTS configuration changes using
NMMGR without rebooting the HP e3000
system.
E
entry priority In a point-to-point
network, it is a ranking that identifies the
most desirable route for data to travel from
a given local node to a remote node.
environment Asession thatis established
on a remote node.
escape from data transfer character A
character that allows a user who is
connected to a host system through the
DTC, to break that connection and return
to the DTC switching user interface. The
default is
[CTRL]-K. This character is used
only on networks managed by the
OpenView Windows Workstation.
escape sequence A sequence of
characters beginning with the escape
character and followed by one or more
other characters, used to convey control
directives to printers, plotters, or
terminals.
Ethernet A Local Area Network system
that uses baseband transmission at 10
Mbps over coaxial cable and unshielded
twisted pair. Ethernet is a trademark of
Xerox Corporation.
