Exchange/SNA Manual

About This Manual
104700 Tandem Computers Incorporated xiii
This manual describes Exchange/SNA and how to use it. Exchange/SNA provides
bit-synchronous, batch-oriented communications between a Tandem NonStop system
and IBM host systems by emulating an IBM 3770-type Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) Multiple Logical Unit (MLU) terminal.
Audience This manual is written primarily for programmers and system analysts who design
and implement communications with host systems using Exchange/SNA. Parts of
this manual provide information useful to system managers and operators who are
responsible for the day-to-day operation of Exchange/SNA.
Prerequisites This manual is written for someone who is familiar with the following:
Tandem NonStop systems
The host systems with which Exchange/SNA will be communicating
SNA, including sessions, logical units (LUs), and type 1 function management
(FM) headers
SNAX/XF or SNAX/CDF
