Terminals and Workstations
Fiber-optic cables in group 01 of each ServerNet node link the node to an X-fabric and
a Y-fabric cluster switch.
For more information about the HP NonStop Cluster Switch, see the ServerNet Cluster
Manual.
Terminals and Workstations
In addition to communications devices, HP offers terminals and workstations.
Asynchronous terminals can be connected to a NonStop S-series server using the
ATP6100 subsystem and a SWAN concentrator, or an asynchronous wide area
network (AWAN) access server and the NonStop TCP/IP subsystem and Telserv
software. Connecting asynchronous devices using these products is described in detail
in Industry-Standard Connections and HP Terminals on page 6-3.
6530 Family Terminals and Emulators
There are 6530 family of terminals and emulators and other widely-used terminals
available from HP and other third parties. These terminals are specifically designed for
reliable online transaction processing (OLTP). They provide a flexible communications
interface to fit a variety of application needs.
System Consoles
A system console is an HP-approved personal computer used to run maintenance and
diagnostic software for HP NonStop S-series servers. A system console requires
additional HP and third-party software and an HP approved modem to use all
functionality provided by OSM and TSM applications. Only PCs provided by HP can be
used as system consoles. Starting with G06.22, PCs provided by HP for use as system
consoles come preloaded with the software necessary to run OSM applications (TSM
applications can be installed from the HP NonStop System Console Installer CD).
System consoles configured as the primary and backup dial-out points are referred to
as the primary and backup system consoles, respectively.
System consoles communicate with NonStop S-series servers over a dedicated local
area network (LAN); some OSM and TSM applications can also be used over a
nondedicated (public) LAN.
