Required Host Software
Required Host Software
The following software is required on the HP NonStop server:
•
For asynchronous terminal and workstation-based emulator connections: NonStop
Kernel TELNET Server (Telserv) (T9553) subsystem
•
For serial printer connections: FASTPTCP LAN printer spooler product (T8932)
•
NonStop TCP/IP subsystem
Necessary Software Product Revisions (SPRs)
Two HP NonStop Kernel software product revisions (SPRs), formerly named interim
product modifications (IPMs), are recommended and should be applied:
•
FASTPTCP T8932 ABF, or latest SPR
•
NonStop Telserv T9553 ACV, or latest SPR
See IPM Scout for the latest and most appropriate SPR.
Installing the FASTPTCP product is described in the Spooler FASTP Network Print
Processes Manual
.
Telserv and TELNET
TELNET enables a user at one site to interact with LAN-attached connections or
remote systems at another site as if the user’s terminal were directly connected to the
remote machine. The HP NonStop implementation of Telnet server is called Telserv. In
addition to support for standard TELNET clients, Telserv also supports the proprietary
TN6530 extensions to the Telnet protocols. TN6530 is used by terminal emulators and
by the AWAN 3886 terminals. TN6530 provides special line mode and block mode (full
screen) access to NonStop Kernel applications for 6530 emulators and AWAN servers.
The main component of the Telserv subsystem is the Telserv process. Each Telserv
process can support a maximum of 256 services and 256 windows. For information on
creating a Telserv process and adding services and windows, refer to the SCF
Reference Manual for Telserv
.
The Telserv release T9553ACV, or later, supports the following command:
PARAM ZTNT^ATP^COMPATIBLE YES
This setting unconditionally terminates a Telnet session when a Control 12 command
is received from the application, such as during Pathway Reconnect Modem
processing. Without the PARAM, Control 12 is accepted only if there is only one
remaining application open to the Telnet window.
PARAM ZTNT^ATP^COMPATIBLE YES also treats a block mode file system
WRITEREAD request that has a zero read count the same as a file system WRITE
request by appending an ASCII end-of-text (EOT) character to the outbound data. This
allows proper operation of VIEWPOINT. This PARAM is recommended.
