Introduction to AWAN 3886 Servers
The AWAN 3886 family of servers are asynchronous terminal servers that provide
asynchronous ports for a variety of Ethernet-connected devices, including terminals,
modems, printers, and similar devices. AWAN 3886 servers support 6530-family
terminals and emulators. Telnet protocols create sessions between server ports and
the following:
•
HP NonStop Telserv (T9553), used by applications such as TACL and the
Pathway Terminal Control Processes (PATHTCP2). Using the AWAN 3886
servers, the Telnet session is initiated by the server port.
VT-series devices can be asynchronously attached to AWAN 3886 servers and
can access the Open Systems Services (OSS) operating system environment and
other VT-compatible host applications directly, using a standard Telnet session
rather than a 6530 session.
•
FASTPTCP Spooler Print Process (T8932); using the AWAN 3886 servers, the
session is initiated by the FASTPTCP print process.
The asynchronous ports on AWAN 3886 servers have the following common
characteristics:
•
LAN connections using 10Base-T Ethernet with TCP/IP or IPX protocols
•
RS-232 EIA electrical signaling
