OpenView Workstation
As of MPE/iX version A.30.00, an OpenView workstation may also be a
part of the Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem. The
OpenView workstation is a personal computer which is properly
configured as a part of the LAN, and runs the OpenView DTC Manager
software.
The OpenView DTC Manager is an application based on OpenView
Windows. It provides an easy to use network management facility that
allows you to configure, monitor, and diagnose the network and its
components.
The OpenView DTC Manager assumes many of the network
management functions that would otherwise have to be performed on
an MPE/iX host system, including configuring the devices connected
through the DTCs on the LAN and uploading and downloading the code
that controls DTC operations.
The functionality of the DTC is expanded when network management
is performed by the OpenView DTC Manager. It becomes possible for
the DTC to act as a true data communications server, providing access
to X.25 networks through the DTC/X.25 Network Access. Network
access can include asynchronous connections through a private or
