host-based network
management Method of
managing asynchronous
communications for HP 3000
Series 900 computers. All of the
controlsoftware is configuredona
single MPE XL host and is
downloaded to the DTCs that are
managed by that host. With
host-based management, there is
a permanent relationship
between each DTC and the host,
and terminal users can access
only the single MPE XL system
that owns the DTC their terminal
is connected to.
host computer The primary or
controlling computer on a
network. The computer on which
the network control software
resides. For HP purposes, it may
also be used to distinguish the
MPE XL system (host) from the
DTC.
I
idle device timeout Timeout
defined by the Configure:CPU
command. ; When the timer
lapses, a device connected to the
DTC user interface that is still
inactive will be disconnected.
IEEE 802.3 A standard for a
broadcast local area network
published by the Institute for
Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). This standard
is used for both the ThinLAN and
ThickLAN implementations of
the LAN.
INP Intelligent Network
Processor. The card residing in
the back of an MPE V-based node
that provides a point-to-point or
X.25 interface.
internet communication
Communication that occurs
between networks.
Internet Protocol A protocol
used to provide routing between
different local networks in an
internetwork, as well as among
nodes in the same local network.
TheInternetProtocolcorresponds
to Layer 3, the Network Layer, of
the OSI model. See also IP
address.
internetwork Two or more
networks joined by gateways.
intranet communication
Communication that occurs
between nodes in a single
network.
intrinsic System routine
accessible by user programs
which provides an interface to
operating system resources and
functions. Intrinsics perform
common tasks such as file access
and device control.
IP See Internet Protocol.
IP address Internet Protocol
address. An address used by the
Internet Protocol to perform
internet routing. A complete IP
address comprises a network
portion and a node portion. The
