Hardware Components
The major hardware component associated with the TLAM subsystem is the TLAM
controller. These TLAM controllers are provided:
•
The 3616 token-ring controller, which allows integration of NonStop K-series
servers into IEEE 802.5 token-ring LANs
•
The 3615 Enhanced Ethernet controller, which provides a high-speed data path
between a NonStop K-series server and an Ethernet LAN
•
The 3614 token-bus controller, which connects a NonStop K-series server directly
to a token-bus-type LAN

PAM manager
process
(PAMMAN)
TLAM manager process
(MLMAN)
PAMMAN is a process pair that provides
the interface between the PAM subsystem
and the Subsystem Control Point (SCP).
MLMAN is a process pair that provides the
interface between the TLAM subsystem
and the SCP.
PAM process TLAM IOP (MLAM) The PAM process is a generic process that
provides the interface to the ServerNet
LAN systems access (SLSA) subsystem
for Ethernet, LLC1 applications, SNAX/XF,
SNAX/APN, and EMS.
For D-series RVUs, MLAM is an I/O
process (IOP) that provides applications
with various programmatic interfaces to the
lower-level protocols for passing data
between a system, the LAN attached to the
controller, and the devices attached to the
LAN.
TLAM controller process
(MLMUX)
For D-series RVUs, MLMUX is the TLAM
controller software that is downloaded from
the system to the controller when the
associated line is started.
There is no corresponding software
component in the PAM subsystem.
