ATM Clients
QIO API clients are protocol subsystems that communicate with the ATM service 
provider directly through QIO. Currently, these are:
•
Expand connecting through the QIO application program interface (API) to TCP/IP 
in order to provide Expand/IP capability
•
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to provide connectivity to 
a TCP/IP network
ATM Clients
ATM clients are processes, user applications, or subsystems that use the ATM 
subsystem and related ATM service providers to connect to the ATM network attached 
to a NonStop S-series server. 
ATM Subsystem Management
SCF is the interface that manages the processes and objects of the ATM subsystem. 
Figure 2-3 shows the SCF interface to the ATM subsystem. 
For more information about SCF, see the 
SCF Reference Manual for G-Series RVUs
. 
For a description of the SCF commands, object hierarchy, and object states for the 
ATM subsystem, see Section 4, SCF Commands.
