Introduction to Networking for HP NonStop S-Series Servers—520670-005
A-3
ES Connect A product that enables NonStop S-Series processors to
communicate with IBM mainframes through IBM’s Enterprise
Systems Connection (ESCON) channel. Use of the channel means
that bulk data transfer to and from IBM machines will be
significantly faster.
Ethernet 4 ServerNet
adapter (E4SA)
A ServerNet adapter
that provides flexible and efficient connectivity
between NonStop S-series servers and Ethernet local area
networks (LANs). It features 4 ports per board, with each port
supporting communications speeds of 10 megabits per second.
Event Management
Service (EMS)
Part of Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
, EMS collects,
logs, and distributes event information generated by software
subsystems and routes this information through the network. One
example of EMS use is that an operator using the OSM Event
Viewer or TSM EMS Event Viewer can display all incoming event
messages or use filters built with the EMS filter language to select
specific sets of event messages according to the operational
priorities of the system or network.
Exchange Remote
Batch Emulation
System
Two products that permit NonStop S-series servers to emulate
different types of remote job entry (RJE) devices to an IBM host.
Exchange includes a command interpreter and a line server
process. It supports interactive, command-file, and programmatic
operation. Exchange/RJE emulates an IBM 2780/3780 data
transmission terminal for binary synchronous communication.
Exchange/SNA emulates an IBM Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) workstation, providing simultaneous transmission of
multiple, fully synchronized data streams within an SNA
environment.
Expand A network subsystem that extends NonStop Kernel operation to
networks of geographically distributed NonStop S-series servers
and other NonStop systems. With the Expand subsystem,
authorized users can use processes, files, or devices on any
system in the network, regardless of their physical location or the
occurrence of a line or component failure. Expand networks can
include as many as 255 NonStop servers of up to 16 processors
each.
Extended General
Device Support
(GDSX)
A software product that is used to develop a front-end process to
interface between an HP application program and an input/output
process (IOP). A fully functional GDSX module is a combination of
HP code and user-written routines. Typically, GDSX is used for
data-stream conversion to support nonstandard devices; it is often
used in connection with the Pathway environment.
Fast Ethernet
ServerNet adapter
(FESA)
A ServerNet adapter
that provides connectivity between
NonStop S-series servers and Fast Ethernet 802.3u LANs. It
features a single-port adapter supporting communication speeds of
100 megabits per second (Mbps) and 10 Mbps.
