Common
Communication
ServerNet Adapter
(CCSA)
A ServerNet adapter that provides connectivity between
NonStop S-series servers and Signaling System Number 7 (SS7)
protocol LANs. It features a four-port adapter supporting automatic
configuration for V.35, EIA-449, EIA-232, or X.21 operation.
Communication
Network
Management (CNM)
A SNAX Advanced Program Communication Support (SNAX/APC)
interface that gives an application access to IBM System Network
Architecture (SNA) network-management messages.
CP6100 A communications process that, when combined with a user-
written communications application, passes application data to a
protocol module running in the communications line interface
processor (CLIP) on a ServerNet wide area network (SWAN)
concentrator, enabling the application to not only transfer data but
also initiate protocol sequences and control error recovery.
CP6100 is commonly used for custom device support.
Distributed Name
Service (DNS)
An optional Distributed Name Service (DNS)
product, DNS
manages a distributed database that can serve as a single-source,
automated record of the names of all system and network
components and their relationships. DNS supports aliases and
various ways of grouping names. You determine which nodes can
resolve a name and which can change its definition.
Distributed Systems
Management (DSM)
An architecture and a compliant set of tools, including both
standard and optional products, enabling the user to manage,
monitor, and control every element of a large system or an Expand
network. DSM tools include ViewPoint, Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF), and Event Management Service (EMS) interfaces to the
management processes for various HP subsystems. Among the
resources you can manage with DSM are processors, software
subsystems, peripheral devices, applications, terminals, and
communications lines.

EM3270 A process on the NonStop S-series server that enables HP
printers, workstations, and terminals to emulate IBM 3270 printers
and terminals and to use applications residing on IBM host
systems. With EM3270, an HP terminal or workstation becomes
the functional equivalent of an IBM 3270 terminal. EM3270
enables HP terminal and workstation users to switch between HP
and IBM applications.
EMS See Event Management Service (EMS)

Envoy A communications subsystem that, when combined with a
communications-oriented user application, supports connection
with specialized asynchronous and byte-synchronous devices not
supported by higher-level HP communications products.
EnvoyACP/XF A communications subsystem that, when combined with a
communications-oriented user application, supports connection
with specialized bit-synchronous devices not supported by
higher-level HP communications products.
