SYSGEN The software program that
allows you to configure the operating
system on HP e3000 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 public data 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.
ThinLAN 3000/iX Link Hardware and
software necessary 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.
throughput class negotiation One of
the network subscribed facilities defined at
subscription time. This allows the user to
negotiate the throughput class at call
set-up time.
timer (T3) The length of time that a link
can remain in an idle state. After the
expiration of the timer, the link is
considered to be in a non-active,
non-operational state and is automatically
reset. The value should be chosen carefully.
In particular, it must be sufficiently greater
than the Retransmission Timer (T1) so that
no doubt exists about the link’s state.
Token Ring A collection of data
communication systems sharing a common
cable and communicating by means of the
IEEE 802.5 protocol. In a Token Ring
network, access is controlled by the passing
of a token from node to node. Outgoing
messages are attached to the token and
passed with the token until they arrive at
the node to which they are addressed.
Token Ring 3000/iX Network Link
Hardwareand software required to connect
a HP e3000 system to a Token Ring
