Object Types
The PAM object types are described in detail in Section 2, Introduction. For detailed 
information about the TLAM object types, see the TLAM Programming Manual.
PORT Yes Yes Both subsystems provide these port 
types:
•
Ethernet
•
LLC1
•
LLC2
Only the TLAM subsystem provides 
these port types:
•
SNAP
•
IPX8022
•
IPX8023
•
TR8025
In PAM, the TR8025 port type is part of 
the LLC1 interface.
MSAP Yes Yes Both subsystems provide a SNATR 
object. The SNATR object defines the 
MSAP that allows a SNAX/XF or 
SNAX/APN process to connect to a 
token-ring LAN.
The TLAM subsystem also provides a 
NAM object that defines the MSAP that 
allows an Expand line-handler process 
to connect to an Ethernet LAN; the PAM 
subsystem does not.
CONN No Yes
SESSION Yes Yes
