Installing an AWAN Server
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, the HP
NonStop TCP/IP subsystem, the 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:
°
A SWAN or SWAN 2 concentrator using WANPRINT printer software
°
An AWAN server using spooler FASTPxxx print process software
•
LAN-attached printers can be connected to NonStop S-series servers through an
Ethernet LAN and spooler FASTPxxx print process software.
