WAN subsystem manager process
WAN subsystem manager process. A process named $ZZWAN provided as part of the wide
area network (WAN) subsystem that starts and manages the WAN subsystem objects, the
WAN product process, and device objects. Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) commands
are directed to the WAN subsystem manager process for configuring and managing the
WAN subsystem and the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator.
wide area network (WAN). A network that operates over a larger geographical area than a
local area network (LAN)—typically, an area with a radius greater than one kilometer.
The elements of a WAN may be separated by distances great enough to require
telephone communications. Contrast with local area network (LAN)
and system area
network (SAN).
