Additional Software
One or more of the following products are required depending on the type of remote
access connections you want to configure:
•
If the workstation user will be communicating with a Pathway server on a Himalaya
NonStop server, you must install the Remote Server Call (RSC) client software.
RSC is described in the Remote Server Call (RSC) Installation and Management
Guide.
•
If the workstation user will access a NonStop SQL/MP database on a Himalaya
NonStop server, the NonStop ODBC Server client software must be installed.
NonStop ODBC Server is described in the NonStop ODBC Server Installation and
Management Manual.
•
If the workstation user wants to access the Internet through a Himalaya NonStop
server, a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator
must be installed.
•
If the workstation user will access 6530 applications on a Himalaya NonStop server,
a 6530 terminal emulator or VT-series terminal emulator must be installed. The
following Tandem 6530 emulator programs are available:
•
MacUWS for the Macintosh

Preparing Workstation Users
This subsection describes the information you must provide to IP network, Novell
NetWare network, AppleTalk network, and NASI remote-control users.
IP Network Users
For IP network users, you must provide the telephone number for the AWAN access
server. Users must configure their TCP/IP stack to dial and log into the AWAN access
server. You might also need to provide the following information:
•
The IP address to configure in the client software.
•
The protocol to use when connecting (SLIP, CSLIP, PPP, or PPP with CHAP or
PAP).
•
The user name and password to enter when connecting to the AWAN access server.
Refer to the documentation provided with your TCP/IP software package for installation
and configuration instructions.
Note. 6530 emulators are also available from third-party vendors. In general, any
6530-compatible asynchronous device will operate with an AWAN access server. Check with
your third-party vendor for more information.
