Concentrators Supported

For Integrity NonStop NS-series or NonStop S-series servers, the supported

concentrators are the SWAN concentrator and the SWAN 2 concentrator. For

information about configuring the SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator, see the WAN

Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.

WAN Subsystem Interface to CP6100

For G-series and H-series RVUS, the CP6100 line-handler process is defined and

started using the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) from the WAN subsystem. The

WAN subsystem SCF commands that are relevant to CP6100 configuration are

described in Creating a CP6100 Line-Handler Process on page 3-3. For information

about the functions of the WAN subsystem, see the WAN Subsystem Configuration

and Management Manual.

For G-series and H-series RVUS, the WAN subsystem provides the functions that the

Configuration Utility Program (COUP) and SYSGEN provided on the NonStop K-series

servers. Specifically, the WAN subsystem allows you to:

•

Define CP6100 lines and the modifiers that affect their operation

•

Start CP6100 lines

•

Stop, alter, or delete CP6100 lines

•

Monitor the primary and backup CP6100 processes and restart them if both fail

You use the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem to perform the above functions. The

WAN subsystem and the SCF interface to the WAN subsystem are described in detail

in the WAN Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.

The WAN subsystem must be started before you attempt to configure the CP6100

subsystem. Persistent changes to CP6100, such as creating a line, must be sent

through the WAN subsystem. The WAN subsystem stores changes, additions, and

deletions in the system configuration database.

A CP6100 line is called a CP6100 DEVICE object in the WAN subsystem and a

CP6100 LINE object in the CP6100 subsystem.

When issuing a command, specify the subsystem in the line name (for example,

$ZZWAN.#CPL1), SCP then routes the command to the correct subsystem (in this

case, the WAN Manager).
