About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software Requirements and Considerations Requirements and Considerations OS Versions Supported The ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software product supports HP-UX 11.0. ACC Hardware Supported The ACC Base Software product and the ACC and X.
About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software Requirements and Considerations Using SNA Over X.25 To use SNAplus2 over X.25 with the ACC cards, both the SNAplus2 and the X.25/ACC products must be installed on your system. The SNA/ACC product is not required. ACC Hardware Not a Pre-requisite It is not a requirement that you install your ACC cards first before installing the pre-requisite ACC software mentioned above or the ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software.

About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software Supported Devices Supported Devices HP-UX SNAPlus2 Link software provides services with any compatible device conforming to IBM’s Logical Unit types 0-3 and LU 6.2 architectures, which allows for APPC, LUA and CPI-C data exchanges in a Systems Network Architecture (SNA). SNA/ACC provides HP-9000/SNAplus2 servers with expanded (multi-channel and multi-protocol) WAN access at conventional data rates via the HP-PB (NIO) 8-Channel and EISA 8-Channel ACC Multiplexer interfaces.
About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software Mode of Operation Mode of Operation SNA/ACC supports the running of SNAPlus2 Link in a client/server environment, provided the required LAN/9000 Series 700 or Series 800 software components, such as, the ARPA/Berkeley Sockets are configured. Support for running SNAPlus2 Link using QLLC via SNA/ACC requires installation of ACC and X.25/9000 software.
About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software References References For information on installing the ACC Base Software product and how to start up the ACC Subsystem, refer to the ACC Installation and Configuration Guide, which is provided with the ACC and X.25/9000 Software Bundle and the ACC Base Software products. For information on using the utilities related to the ACC products, refer to the ACC Utilities Reference Guide. For information on installing the X.25 protocol on ACC products, refer to the X.

2 Software Installation and Verification 19
Software Installation and Verification Introduction Introduction This chapter describes how to install the ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software product using the swinstall utility. NOTE Successful completion of SNA/ACC software installation relies upon PRIOR INSTALLATION OF THE ACC BASE SOFTWARE. Use swlist -l bundle to confirm prior installation. You may disregard this if you are installing SNA/ACC concurrently with the ACC Base Software product.
Software Installation and Verification Software Installation Software Installation Running Swinstall The SNA/ACC software is read from the HP-UX Application CD-ROM, in superuser mode, using the swinstall utility. The steps are shown below. Step 1. Log in to the system as “root”. Step 2. Place the media in a local or remote CD-ROM drive and mount the CD-ROM drive. For example: % mkdir /cdrom % mount /dev/dsk/c1t1d0 /cdrom Step 3. Run .
Software Installation and Verification Software Installation Step 8. Find the SDLC (ACC) item and double-click to execute the “Actions > Add Component” function. Repeat for the QLLC (X.25) item, if the status message reads Not Added (See screen illustration below). Figure 2-1 SNAplus2 Installation Using SAM Step 9. Click on “Yes” when SAM prompts you to exit, and click on “Yes” at the “Create New Kernel” prompt.
Software Installation and Verification Software Identification Software Identification • The what utility can be run on /stand/vmunix to show what version of drivers are actually generated into the system. • If you need to check version status for ACC core firmware files installed on your system, use what on /opt/acc/sys, /opt/acc/protocol, and /opt/acc/ directories. • Use the SD utility swverify to check dependency relationships, file integrity and software states if needed.
Software Installation and Verification Installation Verification Installation Verification If this is the first-time installation of an ACC card, the full procedure found in ACC Installation and Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, section “Installation Verification” can be used to verify that the ACC hardware and software have been properly installed and are functional. Otherwise skip that section and continue below.

Software Installation and Verification Installation Verification NOTE Versions of SNA/ACC prior to B02.40 dynamically handled the creating of terminal definitions. Versions of SNA/ACC for 3.02 and above require the user to define terminals statically in the .answ files as illustrated in the example .answ file. You must add the Term entries to your .answ file and modify them appropriately for your configuration requirements.
Software Installation and Verification Installation Verification SNA/ACC Software Verification When it is determined that the ACC Multiplexer hardware and ACC Base Software are fully operational with no problems, the peer-to-peer test procedures in this section should be run to verify that the SNA/ACC installation is correct and the SNAplus2 software can work with it. The SNAplus2 GUI, shown below (Figure 2-2), is convenient for this verification phase.

3 Using SNAplus2 via SNA/ACC 31
Using SNAplus2 via SNA/ACC Introduction Introduction For a complete description of the communication formats, refer to the documents referenced on page 17 in Chapter 1 , “About ACC SNAPlus2 Link Software,” of this manual. Data transmitted at Level 2 over an SNAplus2 link via ACC is in the SDLC format. When a QLLC link is used the data transmitted at Level 3 is framed into standard X.25 packet format.
Using SNAplus2 via SNA/ACC Checking SNAplus2 Status Checking SNAplus2 Status If the new kernel has booted successfully (Chapter 2, Section Software Installation, Step #8), the SNAplus2 software is probably running. Use the following command to check for the status of SNAplus2 on your system: /opt/sna/bin/X11/xsnapadmin NOTE Use of xsnapadmin requires Motif interface software and a bit-mapped display to run X11. Use snapadmin as an alternative if necessary.
