HP NonStop Communications
Products
This alphabetical appendix lists and briefly describes HP NonStop communications
software and hardware products. Also included are some other HP products used with
communications subsystems; for example, some Distributed Systems Management
(DSM) tools and utilities.
ActionView.400 A client-server application for HP NonStop S-series servers and
PC workstations using the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The ActionView.400 modules provide system and performance
monitoring, configuration management for OSI/MHS objects,
administrative functions such as chargeback for system usage,
and operator alerts when user-defined thresholds are exceeded.
AM3270 An access method that allows application programs to use
individual 3270-compatible devices connected to a nonswitched,
bisynchronous, point-to-point or multipoint, communications line.
Asynchronous
Terminal Process
6100 (ATP6100)
A software product that provides the means for an application
program to use asynchronous point-to-point terminals, printers,
and other devices. See also Asynchronous wide area network
(AWAN) access servers, GAP, and SWAN Concentrator.
Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM)
subsystem
An HP communications subsystem that provides access to ATM
networks from a NonStop S-series server. ATM is a networking
technology that relays fixed-sized cells as opposed to frames or
packets. This cell-relay model reduces processing time in the
switching hardware, making ATM a high-bandwidth networking
option.
Asynchronous wide
area network (AWAN)
access servers
A series of servers that provides local and remote asynchronous
access to NonStop S-series servers and other local area network
(LAN)-based resources. AWAN access servers combine the
features of both terminal and remote access servers. See also
GAP
.
ATM 3 ServerNet
adapter (ATM3SA)
A ServerNet adapter
that provides access to asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM) networks from a NonStop S-series server.
The ATM3SA supports the ATM User-Network Interface (UNI)
specification over a 155 Mbps OC-3 Synchronous Optical Network
(Sonet) connection. See also Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
subsystem.
ATP See iTP Active Transaction Pages (ATP)

ATP6100 See Asynchronous Terminal Process 6100 (ATP6100)

Cluster Switch A hardware product that controls the routing of ServerNet
messages across the external fabrics of a ServerNet See HP
NonStop Cluster Switch (model 6770) and HP NonStop ServerNet
Switch (model 6780).
