Remote System Requirements

This section describes the remote hardware and software required to

communicate with Hewlett-Packard’s LU 6.2 API.

Hardware

The following hardware is required to communicate with an HP 3000

that is acting as a Type 2.0 node:

• An IBM host, which can be any IBM plug-compatible computer. The

IBM mainframes include the 433x, 434x, 438x, 303x, 308x or 309x.

• An IBM 3705, 3710, 3720 ICA, 3725, or 3745 compatible

Communications Controller that supports ACF/NCP.

The following hardware is required to communicate in a peer-to-peer

environment with an HP 3000 that is acting as a Type 2.1 node:

• An IBM AS/400 computer.

Software

The following software is required to communicate with an HP 3000

that is acting as a Type 2.0 node:

• Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) or Disk Operating System/Virtual

Storage Extended (DOS/VSE) operating system.

• Advanced Communication Function for the Virtual

Telecommunications Access Method (ACF/VTAM) version 2.1 or

later.

• Advanced Communication Function for the Network Control

Program (ACF/NCP) version 3.1 or later.

• The Customer Information Control System (CICS) application

subsystem version 1.7 or later.

The following software is required to communicate in a peer-to-peer

environment with an HP 3000 that is acting as a Type 2.1 node:<

• OS/400, the operating system on the IBM AS/400, version 1 release 2

or later.
