Accessing a TRSA through the SLSA Subsystem
Accessing a TRSA through the SLSA Subsystem
The SLSA subsystem provides access to the TRSA. The following subsystems and
utilities may be configured to access a TRSA through the SLSA subsystem:
•
The conventional TCP/IP and the Parallel Library TCP/IP Subsystems, which can
interface to the SLSA subsystem to provide connectivity to TCP/IP networks.
Telserv and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) can use the socket library to establish
remote connections through the TCP/IP subsystem.
•
The Port Access method (PAM) subsystem, which can interface to the SLSA
subsystem to provide an independent interface to Token-Ring networks, and user-
written applications written that use the PAM subsystem port interface. The
following subsystems can interface to the PAM subsystem to use a TRSA:
•
The SNAX/XF subsystem, which can be configured to provide connections to
Token-Ring networks.
•
The SNAX/APN subsystem, which can be configured to provide
connections to Token-Ring networks.
•
The IPX/SPX subsystem, which can interface to the SLSA subsystem to provide
connectivity to Novell NetWare networks. The following Compaq utilities and
subsystems can interface to the IPX/SPX subsystem to use a TRSA:
•
Telserv and FTP, which use the socket library to establish remote connections
through the IPX/SPX subsystem.
•
Subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC), that can be configured to
establish connections and communicate through the IPX/SPX subsystem.
•
Compaq subsystems, such as Remote Server Call (RSC) that can be configured
to establish connections through the IPX/SPX subsystem.
Figure 1-2
illustrates how Compaq subsystems and utilities use the SLSA subsystem to
access a TRSA.
