What Is in This

Manual?

This manual is intended to be used as a supplement to the seven-manual OSI/AS and

OSI/TS set.

Sections 1 through 6 provide information on Tandem’s RFC-1006 implementation in

OSI/AS and OSI/TS. RFC-1006 allows OSI/TS to connect to the Transmission Control

Protocol (TCP), which is a Transport Layer protocol specified in the Internet Reference

Model. Section 7 provides general information that applies to all the OSI/AS and

OSI/TS manuals.

Section 1, “Introduction to RFC-1006,” introduces the architecture and new

features of the OSI/AS and OSI/AS subsystems when using RFC-1006.

Section 2, “RFC-1006 Subsystem Configuration,” describes how to configure the

OSI/AS and OSI/TS subsystems to use RFC-1006.

Section 3, “RFC-1006 Changes to the SCF, SPI, and PTrace Subsystems,” describes

changes made to the OSI/AS and OSI/TS Subsystem Control Facility (SCF)

commands, the Subsystem Programmatic Interface (SPI) commands, and the

PTrace displays. Also described is a change made to one of the OSI/TS Event

Management Subsystem (EMS) messages.

Section 4, “RFC-1006 Configuration Command Files,” provides sample files used

to configure OSI/AS, OSI/TS, and OSI/MHS to use RFC-1006. Also described is a

utility program that performs address conversion between two notations used to

represent Internet protocol (IP) addresses as the NSAP address, a dotted decimal

notation, and an eight-digit hexadecimal notation.

Section 5, “TPDUs Used by RFC-1006,” describes the TPDUs that are used by RFC-

1006.

Section 6, “Socket Errors Returned by TCP/IP to OSI/TS,” describes the

programming steps that are required for a client or server program to

communicate with TCP/IP.

Section 7, “Programming With the Sockets Interface,” describes the programming

steps that are required for a client or server program to communicate with

TCP/IP.

Section 8, “General OSI/AS and OSI/TS Manual Changes and Corrections,”

contains information of general interest to OSI/AS and OSI/TS users (not just

RFC-1006 users). This section documents external product changes that have been

made since the C30.08/D10 release of OSI/AS and OSI/TS. This section also

documents changes and corrections to the C30.08/D10 release of the OSI/AS and

OSI/TS manuals.
