SNAX/XF LU Network Services Manual

About This Manual
097841 Tandem Computers Incorporated xi
LU Network Services (LUNS) is a component of the SNAX/XF Service Manager.
LUNS allows users to:
Start a TACL or Pathway application using character-coded commands.
Dynamically establish a static path to a host system.
Retrieve and display user-defined messages at a terminal.
This manual is directed to system managers and system programmers. It provides
information about how to configure a network that uses LUNS as a part of SNAX/XF,
both with and without the use of passthrough.
How This Manual Is
Organized
The manual contains the following sections:
Section 1 introduces LUNS. It explains how LUNS processes network-services
requests and gives an overview of the configuration tables that LUNS uses in
doing this.
Section 2 provides information about how to plan and configure for LUNS. It
explains how to create all necessary configuration tables using the SNAX/XF
Utility (SNAXUTL) and includes information about Subsystem Control Facility
(SCF) configuration.
Section 3 provides an example of an application. This example implements a
simple network configuration that nonetheless illustrates the range of services
LUNS offers. The example shows all SNAXUTL and SCF commands needed to
create the configuration.
Appendix A shows the command syntax for SNAXUTL.
Appendix B lists LUNS system messages and error codes.
Appendix C lists Creator process error messages and codes.
Appendix D consists of high-level flow diagrams that illustrate how LUNS
handles unsolicited logons and environment switching.
Appendix E lists SNAXUTL error messages.
Appendix F contains the SNAX/XF default BIND values.
