Gateway Access Process (GAP) Product
Whenever you bring up the Telserv process, whether you are using the default (port
23) or a nonstandard port, the port number must be reflected in the AWAN
configuration.
Gateway Access Process (GAP) Product
GAP is a third-party software product available from Gemini Communications, Inc., an
HP Alliance Partner. GAP provides additional asynchronous capabilities not supported
by the standard AWAN server products. These features include the following:
•
Host-initiated sessions, which are useful for modem control, output-only devices,
and nonstandard devices.
•
Read Continuous, Read Timeout, Write Timeout, true full duplex, and other
advanced features.
•
Direct control of printers for applications that do not use the Spooler or FASTPTCP
products.
•
Host-initiated 6530 sessions (in contrast to standard AWAN 6530 support, which
uses terminal-initiated sessions through Telserv). This allows permanently
configured window names for tighter configuration control.
•
Support for non-standard 6530 emulators that do not work with HP NonStop
Telserv.

How 6530 Terminal Support Works with AWAN 3886 Models
HP (Tandem) 6530 terminals, 6530-compatible terminals, and workstation-based 6530
terminal emulators can be connected to the AWAN 3886 server directly through
RS-232 ports or remotely through modems.
For each asynchronous session, a TN6530 session is established with a Telserv
process running on the HP NonStop Server; 6530 support is executed entirely on the
AWAN 3886 server.
Figure 1-9 shows a sample configuration with simultaneous support for a directly
connected terminal, a remotely connected 6530 emulator, and a serial printer.
