Introduction to Tandem X.25 Capabilities

Utilities for Managing X25AM
C–2 065307 Tandem Computers Incorporated
can receive events from non-Tandem devices. Viewpoint is described in the Viewpoint
Manual.
Event Management Service
(EMS)
EMS is a standard DSM interface that provides event collection, logging, and
distribution facilities. The X25AM subsystem reports events to EMS. Filters can be
written to select the reporting of critical events, and to prevent unwanted messages
from propagating across the network.
Message formats for writing EMS filters and descriptions of EMS messages are
provided in the X25AM Management Programming Manual. EMS messages are also
described in the Operator Messages: Distributed Systems Management (DSM) Display
Format manual.
NonStop NET/MASTER
Management Services
NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services is a new product (introduced in the
C30.08 software release), which is based on the DSM interface. NET/MASTER
provides an integrated product for managing your NonStop Tandem Systems and
IBM systems. In mixed-vendor sites, you can control selected operations from a
NonStop system, an IBM system, or from both systems.
From a single console, you can perform all critical management tasks on centralized
and distributed systems. Each console can be customized according to your operator
needs. You can add your own applications, integrating them with the NonStop
NET/MASTER console, and thereby making it easier for your operators to move from
one to task to another. You can also control exactly which functions each operator can
access.
NonStop NET/MASTER software operates on Tandem 6530-compatible terminals and
on IBM 3270 terminals.
For information on how to use NET/MASTER, refer to the NonStop NET/MASTER
Management Services (MS) Operator’s Guide.
Peripheral Utility
Program (PUP)
PUP includes several commands that can be used to manage X25AM communications
lines and paths. You can use PUP commands to enable and disable communications
lines, list devices, and move communications-line ownership to a different CPU.
For example, the PUP LISTDEV command lists all the configured devices on a system.
The display shows state information, primary and backup process identification
numbers (PINs), CPUs, and logical device number (LDEV) for each X25AM line .
PUP is described in the Peripheral Utility Program (PUP) Reference Manual.
Dynamic System
Configuration (DSC)
DSC lets you change a system configuration without stopping system operation.
Using DSC, you can change most of the X25AM configuration modifiers. The
Configuration Utility Program (COUP) is the DSC interactive interface.
DSC is described in the Dynamic System Configuration (DSC) Manual.
