9 X.25 iX Network Link Technical Data For HP 3000 Series 900 Computer Systems Product Numbers 2340A, 2343D, 2345A, 2346D/E/F/G, D2355A, 36939A The iX Network Link for HP 3000 Series 900 computers is a high-performance networking solution that provides Hewlett-Packard customers access to public and private X.25 packet-switching networks. It features extensive communications capabilities with remote HP 3000 hosts and asynchronous PAD (Packet-Assembler/Disassembler) devices. [Figure 1 (X.25 iX Network Link) Caption: none] The X.25 iX Network Link functions with the Datacommunications and Terminal Controller (DTC) to provide customers with high-performance remote communications. The X.25/iX Network Link offers a range of line speeds and connections depending on the DTC. The DTC16/X.25 iX Network Link provides a solution for customers with less extensive communications needs. The DTC48/iX Network Link provides a solution for customers having higher connectivity needs. The same DTC being used for X.25 and PAD functionality can also be used for multivendor, multisystem terminal server connectivity, providing customers with an integrated communications solution. (Please refer to the "Datacommunications and Terminal Controller" data sheet for more information.) Based on industry standards, the X.25 iX Network Link is an integral part of the HP AdvanceNet strategy for multivendor communications. It also provides a programmatic interface for software developers needing to access non-HP devices. The X.25 iX Network Link achieves high-performance networking by offloading protocol processing from the HP 3000 Series 900 host to an optimized DTC/X.25 Network Access card (in the DTC). This LAN-based design allows multiple Series 900 hosts to share the same X.25 line, making cost-effective use of the X.25 network subscription. A single operator can manage X.25 connections through the use of a PC-based HP OpenView Windows Workstation. HP OpenView Windows provides an easy-to-use advanced graphics user interface that simplifies the management of multiple DTCs. X.25 iX Network Link Benefits and Features Extensive host-to-host communications: o Full support of NS Services (36920A) and ARPA FTP (36957A) for communications to remote computers across public and private X.25 networks. o SNA connectivity for HP 3000-to-IBM communications with SNA/X.25 Link/iX, a software product that enables HP SNA Services to be supported over an X.25 network. Please refer to the "SNA/X.25 Link/iX" data sheet for more information. o Programmatic access to X.25 level 3 and TCP level 4 for program development of special applications such as HP to non-HP communications. o Packet routing and gateway capabilities to IEEE 802.3 or point-to-point subnetworks, achieving higher network transparency. Cost-effective terminal-to-host communications: 10 o Cost-effective solution for remote PAD terminal and printer access to HP 3000 Series 900 computers. o Support of character mode and VPlus block mode applications. In addition to providing PAD terminal access to the HP 3000 Series 900 computers, the X.25 Network Access card provides PAD terminal access to HP 3000 MPE V systems (with DTC Extended Switching or TELNET), HP 9000 systems (with TELNET), or non-HP systems (with TELNET). The incoming PAD call is processed in the DTC. Depending on the designated system, the DTC will either send out an optimized LAN packet to the HP 3000 Series 900, or will send out a TELNET package to the HP 3000 MPE V, HP 9000, or non-HP system. Note: If using a DTC48 for this multivendor PAD access, a memory upgrade (HP 2348A) to the DTC48 is needed. This upgrade is only needed if the DTC date code is less than 3110. Please refer to the "Datacommunications and Terminal Controller" data sheet for more information on these configurations. Adherence to standards: o Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) layered architecture. o Standard CCITT 1980 and 1984 version of X.25 and 1980 and 1984 versions of X.3/X.28/X.29, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) TCP/IP protocols. o Compliance with Defense Data Network (DDN) specifications. High performance: o High system connectivity with up to 11 X.25 Network Interfaces (NI) and 1024 virtual circuits per HP 3000 Series 900 host. o 32 Series 900 hosts can share one DTC/X.25 Network Access card. o Reduced CPU overhead due to X.25 and PAD protocol processing on the DTC. o In addition, multiple cards (either in the same DTC48 or in multiple DTC16s) are supported for a single IP address for higher throughput and redundancy. This requires MPE iX Release 2.2 or later. o Up to 60 X.25 iX Network Links can be managed by a single HP OpenView Windows Workstation. Flexible solution: o Based on connectivity requirement, customers can choose to use either a DTC48 or DTC16. o Up to 3 DTC48/X.25 Network Access cards are supported per DTC48. The DTC48/X.25 Network Access card provides line speeds up to 64 Kbps with a total of 256 virtual circuits per card. Utilizing the maximum 3 cards, a total of 768 Virtual circuits are available per DTC48. o 1 DTC16/X.25 Network Access card is supported per DTC16. The DTC16/X.25 Network Access Card supports line speeds up to 19.2 Kbps with 32 virtual circuits per card. Note: The DTC48 cannot support both a X.25 Network Access card and an HP ARPA Telnet Access Card. Please refer to the "HP ARPA Services/iX" data sheet for more information. Ease of use: 11 o Easy-to-use graphical user interface, based on HP OpenView Windows (32048A) for DTC management, providing better efficiency for network operators. High access security: o PAD terminal and X.25 host access security. X.25 iX Network Link Components The X.25 iX Link for HP 3000 Series 900 computers is a networking solution based on the multivendor Datacommunications and Terminal Controller hardware and software. It includes: o DTC/X.25 Network Access o X.25 iX System Access o HP OpenView DTC Manager DTC/X.25 Network Access card resides in the DTC (either DTC16 or DTC48), and is used to process the X.25 protocols. The necessary software is downloaded to the DTC across the IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network from the HP OpenView DTC Manager, which controls the entire DTC from an HP OpenView Windows Workstation. DTC/X.25 Network Access card allows connections to be established with HP 3000 Series 900 hosts across the IEEE 802.3 LAN, using HP optimized protocols for maximum efficiency. In this way, it provides cost-effective Series 900 host access to remote X.3/X.28/X.29 PAD users. When used in conjunction with X.25 iX System Access and NS Services or ARPA FTP, it features extensive host-to-host communications across X.25 public and private packet-switching networks. Functional Description of DTC/X.25 Network Access Card DTC/X.25 Network Access card is a high-performance VLSI card that implements 1980 and 1984 CCITT X.25 protocols at levels 1, 2, and 3, as well as 1980 CCITT X.3/X.28/X.29 PAD protocols. The DTC16/X.25 Network Access card supports signaling rates up to 19.2 Kbps. The DTC48/X.25 Network Access supports signaling rates up to 64 Kbps. The DTC is a modular device that can accommodate both asynchronous and X.25 connections. The DTC16 accommodates 1 DTC16/X.25 Network Access card. This same DTC16 can also accommodate up to 2 asynchronous connector cards, which allow local and remote asynchronous connections for terminals and printers. The DTC48 can accommodate up to 3 DTC/X.25 Network Access cards. This same DTC can also accommodate several asynchronous connector cards, which allow local and remote asynchronous connections for terminals and printers. Note: DTC48/X.25 Network Access Cards and DTC16/X.25 Network Access Cards are not interchangeable. In a configuration without X.25 iX System Access, the DTC/X.25 Network Access allows remote X.3/X.28/X.29 PAD terminals and printers to exchange data with any HP 3000 Series 900 computer on the LAN, as configured by the HP OpenView DTC Manager. Consequently, remote PAD users can have direct logon access to any HP 3000 Series 900 host. Access can be either direct, to a single host, or user-selectable to any host on the LAN, through the DTC user interface. 12 Connectivity of remote X.3/X.28/X.29 PAD terminals to DTC/X.25 Network Access can be restricted using PAD access lists. These lists are configured by the HP OpenView DTC Manager, and restrict user access to a predefined list of HP 3000 Series 900 hosts, based on the calling X.25 address. Security on remote X.25 host access is implemented with the Local User Group utility, which filters incoming and outgoing calls based on the calling and called X.25 address, respectively.

It implements Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) TCP/IP at layers 3 and 4 of the OSI reference model, and interconnects with X.25 layer 3 of the DTC/X.25 Network Access software across the IEEE 802.3 Local Area Network (LAN). Note that X.25 iX System Access is not an X.25 protocol implementation, but simply provides an X.25 addressing and facility interface between the HP 3000 Series 900 computer and the DTC. An HP 3000 Series 900 host defines a Network Interface (NI) for each DTC/X.25 Network Access card it uses. Each NI can support up to 11 DTC/X.25 Network Access cards, and up to 11 such NIs can be configured on the same host. When used with the NS3000/iX Network Services (HP 36920A) and HP ARPA FTP Service (HP 36957A), X.25 iX System Access features host-to-host communications with remote computers. Furthermore, connections originating from other HP 3000 computers on the same IEEE 802.3 LAN or from an NS point-to-point network can be transparently routed to the X.25 network via the IP layer 3 internet protocol. The X.25 iX System Access product provides programmatic access to packet level 3 to allow sophisticated users to develop their own protocols and services for communications with remote HP or non-HP computers.
