CLIP
CLIP. See communications line interface processor (CLIP).
cluster switch. See HP NonStop™ Cluster Switch (model 6770) and HP NonStop™ 
ServerNet Switch (model 6780).
cold load. A synonym for system load or load (in the case of single processor load). System 
load or load is the preferred term in this and other HP NonStop server system 
manuals. See system load and load.
communications line interface processor (CLIP). The major programmable device within 
the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator, providing link-level protocol 
and a software interface to the host. The CLIP stores and implements specific 
communications protocols.
Compaq TSM client software. The component of the TSM package that runs on a system 
console. The TSM client software consists of the TSM Low-Level Link Application, the 
TSM Service Application, the TSM Notification Director Application, and the TSM EMS 
Event Viewer Application.
Compaq TSM Low-Level Link Application. A component of the TSM client software. The 
TSM Low-Level Link Application enables you to communicate with a NonStop S-series 
server even when the NonStop operating system is not running. When the operating 
system is running, you usually communicate with the server using the TSM Service 
Application. See also Compaq TSM Service Application.
Compaq TSM Notification Director Application. A component of the TSM client software. 
The TSM Notification Director Application receives notifications and incident reports 
from an HP NonStop S-series server, displays them, and allows you to take action or 
forward the incident reports to your service provider for resolution. The TSM 
Notification Director Application can be configured to run on a system console at all 
times, even when other TSM applications are not being used.
Compaq TSM server software. The component of the TSM package that runs on a 
NonStop S-series server. When the NonStop operating system is running, the TSM 
client software on a system console communicates with a server through the TSM 
server software.
Compaq TSM Service Application. A component of the TSM client software. The TSM 
Service Application enables you to communicate with a NonStop S-series server when 
the NonStop operating system is running. When the operating system is not running, 
communication must take place using the TSM Low-Level Link Application. See also 
Compaq TSM Low-Level Link Application.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). An Internet protocol for automating the 
configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can automatically assign IP 
addresses, deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask 
and default router, and provide other configuration information such as the addresses 
for printer, time, and news servers.
