communications line
communications line. A two-way link consisting of processing equipment, I/O devices,
protocol conventions, and cables that connect a computer to other computers.
communications line interface processor (CLIP). The major programmable device within
the ServerNet wide area network (SWAN) concentrator, providing link-level protocol
and a software interface to the host. The CLIP stores and implements specific
communications protocols.
Communications Management Interface (CMI). A utility used in D-series and earlier
release version updates (RVUs) to make online changes to the configuration of
ATP6100, CP6100, and EnvoyACP/XF communications subdevices. In G-series
RVUs, CMI functions are performed by the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
communications subsystem. The combination of data communications hardware and
software processes that function together as an integrated unit to provide services and
access to wide and local area networks.
Compaq TSM. Identifies a client or server software component used to manage or service
HP NonStop™ S-series servers. See also Compaq TSM client software
and Compaq
TSM server software.
Compaq TSM client software. The component of the Compaq TSM package that runs on a
system console. The TSM client software consists of the TSM Low-Level Link, the
TSM Service Application, the TSM Notification Director, and the TSM Event Viewer.

.
Compaq TSM Event Viewer. A component of the Compaq TSM client software. The TSM
Event Viewer lets you set up criteria to view Event Management Service (EMS) log
files in several ways, enabling you to rapidly assess service problems.
Compaq TSM Low-Level Link. A component of the Compaq TSM client software. The
TSM Low-Level Link enables you to communicate with an HP NonStop™ S-series
server even when the HP NonStop operating system is not running. When the
operating system is running, you usually communicate with the server using the TSM
Service Application. See also Compaq TSM Service Application
.
Compaq TSM package. A software product for HP NonStop™ S-series servers that
provides the information needed to perform functions such as querying resources and
testing, provides notification of problems on the system, and allows local or remote
access to the system for service and maintenance. The TSM package performs the
same role as that of HP Tandem Maintenance and Diagnostic System (TMDS),
Syshealth, and Remote Maintenance Interface (RMI) on earlier systems.
Compaq TSM server software. The component of the Compaq TSM package that runs on
an HP NonStop™ S-series server. When the HP NonStop operating system is running,
the TSM client software on a system console communicates with a server through the
TSM server software. See also Compaq TSM client software
