Accessing an E4SA through the SLSA Subsystem
access conventional TCP/IP, Parallel Library TCP/IP, or NonStop TCP/IPv6
subsystems:
•
The Expand subsystem, which interfaces to the TCP/IP subsystem to provide
Expand-over-IP connections.
•
Telserv and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), which use the socket library to
establish remote connections through the TCP/IP subsystem.
•
Other HP subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC), that can be
configured to establish connections through the TCP/IP subsystem.
•
The Port Access Method (PAM) subsystem, which can interface to the SLSA
subsystem to provide an independent interface to Ethernet networks and user
written applications that use the PAM subsystem port interface.
•
The IPX/SPX subsystem, which can interface to the SLSA subsystem to provide
access to Novell NetWare networks. The following HP utilities and subsystems can
interface to the IPX/SPX subsystem:
•
Telserv and FTP, which use the socket library to establish remote connections
and communicate through the IPX/SPX subsystem.
•
HP subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC), that can be configured to
establish connections through the IPX/SPX subsystem.
Figure 1-2 on page 1-7 illustrates how HP subsystems and utilities use the SLSA
subsystem to access an E4SA.
