Communications Subsystems
A communications subsystem consists of one or more subsystem processes and
various other subsystem components running in the NonStop system, and possibly a
protocol module running on a ServerNet adapter or ServerNet wide area network
(SWAN) concentrator. The concept of a process is described in Processes
on
page 2-6; protocol modules are described in Levels of Protocol Support
on page 2-8;
ServerNet adapters and SWAN concentrators are discussed in Communications
Hardware Concepts on page 2-19.
