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.

Installing Printers and Terminals

You can install printers and terminals through the WAN, SLSA, ATP6100, or TELSERV

subsystems, depending on how each device is physically attached to the server.

Serial-connected printers can be connected to a NonStop S-series server through:
