Wide area network
(WAN) subsystem
The communications subsystem used to configure and manage
both WAN and local area network (LAN) connectivity for the
following communications subsystems: Asynchronous Terminal
Process 6100 (ATP6100), CP6100, Envoy, EnvoyACP/XF,
Expand, SNAX Advanced Peer Networking (SNAX/APN), SNAX
Creator-2, and X.25 Access Method (X25AM). The WAN
subsystem is also used to control access to the ServerNet wide
area network (SWAN) concentrator and ServerNet wide area
network (SWAN 2) concentrator.
X.25 Access Method
(X25AM)
A communications subsystem that enables a NonStop S-series
server to connect to packet-switched data networks (PSDNs)
conforming to the ITU-T X.25 Recommendation. X25AM is used by
applications and terminals on a NonStop S-series server to
communicate with host computers or terminals in an X.25 network.
X3PAD A software product that emulates an X.3 packet
assembler/disassembler (PAD), allowing a terminal connected to a
NonStop S-series server to use the X.25 Access Method (X25AM)
,
which in turn allows the terminal to communicate with another
system on an X.25 network. The terminal can operate only in
conversational mode. You can also use X3PAD to support
exchange of data between a Guardian file and a system other than
a NonStop S-series server on the packet-switched data network
(PSDN).
x6530 A 6530 terminal emulator for the X-Windows System, a popular
network presentation service that allows a user to run several
applications at once in different windows on the same display.
x6530 allows a UNIX workstation or local area network (LAN)
server to support up to thirty 6530 windows, used by X-Windows
servers or X-terminals on a LAN. (That is, the device on which
x6530 runs can provide the emulation services to other stations on
the LAN, as long as those stations run the X-Windows server
software.) x6530 can run on the HP Integrity system and the
SUN/4, Apollo 4500, and Mips workstations.
