6530 Gateway Feature

Figure 1-4 shows an AWAN access server in a remote-control configuration. In this

example, a PC can dial into a modem connected to an AWAN access server and, using

remote-control software, control the keyboard, mouse, and monitor on a PC connected

to the LAN.

Detailed information about the remote access feature is provided in Section 9,

Configuring Remote Access Connections.

6530 Gateway Feature

The AWAN access server can provide VT-to-6530 protocol conversion for LAN-attached

workstation-based VT-series terminal emulators and VT-series terminals attached to a

TCP/IP terminal server. These devices use Telnet to connect to the AWAN access server,

which acts as a 6530 gateway to the Himalaya NonStop server-based 6530 application.

Figure 1-5

shows an AWAN access server in a 6530 gateway configuration. In this

example, a VT100 terminal connected to a TCP/IP terminal server and a LAN-attached

workstation-based VT-series terminal emulator can use Telnet to access a 6530

application on the Himalaya NonStop server.

Figure 1-4. Remote-Control Configuration Example

Note. The 6530 gateway feature is supported on AWAN access server models 3883-8R,

3883-16R, 3884R, and 3885R only.
