Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS)
Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS). A diagnostic tool that is a component of the Compaq
NonStop Kernel operating system. TFDS isolates software problems and provides
automatic processor failure data collection, diagnosis, and recovery services. TFDS
monitors processors and automatically initiates a processor dump if a processor fails.
The failed processor is reloaded automatically, and the processor is analyzed along with
the incident.
Tandem LAN Access Method (TLAM). The TLAM software provides an industry-standard
interface for accessing LANs from the Compaq system. Based on the IEEE 802.2
Logical Link Control standard, TLAM supports 802.2 Type 1 connectionless service as
well as the MULTILAN/NetBIOS protocol. With TLAM, you do not need to write
applications for a specific type of LAN.

Telnet. The Internet standard protocol
for remote terminal connection service. Telnet allows a
user at one site to interact with remote timesharing systems at another site just as if the
user’s terminal were connected directly to the remote machine.
Telserv. A Compaq product that provides the Telnet
protocol for remote terminal connection
service.

token. In Distributed Systems Management (DSM), a distinguishable unit in a Subsystem
Control Facility (SCF) message. Programs place tokens in a buffer using the SSPUT or
SSINIT procedures and retrieve them from the buffer with the SSGET procedure. A
token has two parts: an identifying code or token code, and a token value. In command
and response messages, a token normally represents a parameter to a command, an item
of information in a response, or control information for the subsystem. In event
messages, a token normally represents an item of information about an event or about
the event message itself.
token code. In Distributed Systems Management (DSM)
programmatic interfaces, a 32-bit
value that identifies a token. A token code consists of a token type (16 bits) and a token
number (16 bits). In Pascal, TAL, C, COBOL85, and Tandem Advanced Command
Language (TACL), names are used to represent token codes (ZSPI-TKN-SSID, for
example). See also token map.
