Installing a SWAN or SWAN 2 Concentrator
Installing a SWAN or SWAN 2 Concentrator
The ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator communications device or the
SWAN 2 concentrator communications device connects to a server using a pair of
Ethernet local area networks (LANs). The SWAN concentrator or the SWAN 2
concentrator provides WAN connections supporting both synchronous and
asynchronous data over a variety of electrical interfaces. The SWAN concentrator or
the SWAN 2 concentrator can be installed in a 19-inch rack or on a desk or tabletop.
Install the SWAN concentrator or the SWAN 2 concentrator after the system is
powered on, tested, and running the operating system. For information about installing
or configuring a SWAN concentrator, see the SWAN Concentrator Installation and
Support Guide. For information about installing or configuring a SWAN 2 concentrator,
see the SWAN 2 Concentrator Installation and Support Guide.
You can install any SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator by using the WAN Wizard Pro
application. Depending on the RVU, you gain access to the WAN Wizard Pro through
the taskbar on your system console by using one of the following methods:
•
For G06.21 RVU and later RVUs:
Start>Programs>HP WAN Wizard Pro>WAN Wizard Pro
•
For G06.20 RVU and earlier RVUs:
Start>Programs>Compaq TSM>Guided Configuration Tools>WAN Wizard
Installing an AWAN Server
The two major types of asynchronous wide area network (AWAN) servers are:
•
AWAN 3883/4/5 access server
•
AWAN 3886 server (3886-8, 3886-16, and 3886-32)
Both AWAN servers are LAN-based communications devices that provide
asynchronous connections to various types of terminals as well as to serial printers
and to workstation-based 6530 and VT-series terminal emulators for NonStop S-series
servers. AWAN servers support multiple protocols, so you can connect to an AWAN
server simultaneously using different types of protocols. All of these AWAN servers can
take advantage of networking products and subsystems such as Telserv, HP NonStop
TCP/IP subsystem, HP NonStop IPX/SPX subsystem, and others.
For information about installing or configuring an AWAN 3886 server, see the AWAN
3886 Server Installation and Configuration Guide. For up-to-date information regarding
all AWAN servers, see the Interactive Upgrade Guide.
