PRODUCT NAME: HP DECnet SNA Gateway for SPD 25.C6.07

Synchronous Transport, Version 1.4

DESCRIPTION

HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport

(DECnet SNA Gateway-ST) is a member of the DECnet

SNA Gateway product family. This family consists of

hardware and software products that allow users to ex-

change information and share resources bidirectionally

between suitably conﬁgured HP systems in a DECnet

environment and IBM® systems in a Systems Network

Architecture (SNA) environment.

Users on one or more HP systems can simultaneously

perform functions such as accessing IBM application

programs or other system resources, act as a 3270 dis-

play station, perform data transfer between HP and IBM

ﬁle systems, exchange electronic documents and mail

messages, submit jobs to IBM batch subsystems act-

ing as a Remote Job Entry workstation, and implement

distributed, task-to-task application programs that run

between HP and IBM systems.

The DECnet SNA Transport product set provides a

means of connecting DECnet and SNA networks that

can be used by a wide variety of HP-supplied access

routines running on OpenVMS I64, OpenVMS Alpha

and OpenVMS VAX operating environments. DECnet

SNA Gateway-ST is managed and conﬁgured using the

DECnet SNA gateway management software that is part

of the HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST product. For ad-

ditional information on the various access routines and

their capabilities, see the Optional Software section of

this Software Product Description.

HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST is part of both the DECnet

and the SNA networks. Architecturally, it is a DECnet

Phase IV end node implementation to DECnet and a

Physical Unit (PU) Type 2.0 to SNA. It provides bidirec-

tional network access between DECnet and SNA net-

works.

HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST works with either of the

DEC MicroServer hardware platforms. The DEC Mi-

croServer (DEMSA-S*) provides connectivity for up to

four synchronous lines and the DEC MicroServer-SP

(DEMSB-S*) provides a single synchronous line con-

nection.

Note: In this document, the term "DEC MicroServer"

refers to either hardware device, unless speciﬁcally

stated otherwise. The DEC MicroServer hardware de-

vices are no longer available from HP and support is no

longer offered. For details, please contact your local HP

representative.

The DEC MicroServer provides physical connectivity to

an Ethernet local area network (LAN) and, when used

in conjunction with HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST soft-

ware, it provides SNA connectivity to any DECnet sys-

tem in a DECnet network.

This product can be used in networks currently using

other DECnet SNA Gateway systems and can share ac-

cess routines, Ethernet LANs, and load host resources

with those systems.

HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST software is downline

loaded into the DEC MicroServer system. The gateway

management software, which is part of HP DECnet SNA

Gateway-ST, is required for the OpenVMS node desig-

nated as the load host for HP DECnet SNA Gateway-

ST. Other DECnet systems wishing access to the SNA

network through the DEC MicroServer should be conﬁg-

ured with the appropriate DECnet SNA access routines.

HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST V1.4 supports SNA syn-

chronous communications using the synchronous data

HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport, Version 1.4 SPD 25.C6.07 link control protocol (SDLC). The number of links supported depends on the hardware unit being used (DEC MicroServer or DEC MicroServer-SP), line speeds required by the customer, and the electrical interface used. Table 1 shows the configuration matrix for connecting to the SNA network. • Extended SDLC — Support for Extended Response Mode SDLC (Modulo 128).

HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport, Version 1.4 SPD 25.C6.07 INSTALLATION OpenVMS systems in order to facilitate debugging functions where IBM Interconnect application programs are developed using the DECnet SNA Programming Interface products. Only experienced customers should attempt installation of this product. Installation services from HP is recommended for all other customers. These services provide for installation of the software product by an experienced software specialist.

HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport, Version 1.4 SPD 25.C6.07 The DEC MicroServer-SP has a built-in LAN controller but needs a suitable connection to connect to the customer’s LAN, together with any necessary extension cables. In addition to disk space allocated to HP DECnet SNA Gateway-ST software, some disk space (approximately 5,000 blocks) should be reserved for any dump files that may be generated by HP DECnet SNA GatewayST.
