NS/9000 for Series 300/400, Series 700, and Series 800/600 Technical
Data
Product Numbers B1012B for Series 300/400 B1029B for Series 800/600
J2140A for Series 700
Network Services/9000 (NS/9000) provides engineering and manufacturing
environments with the ability to communicate in a multivendor
environment. NS/9000 has been designed in a layer approach following the
International Standards Organization's Open Systems Interconnection
(ISO/OSI) Model. NS/9000 supports communication between the
[Figure 1 (NS/9000 for Series 300/400, Series 700, Series 800/600)
Caption: none]
HP 9000 Series 800, 700, 600, 400, and 300; the HP 1000 A-Series, and
the HP 3000 over a local area or X.25 network. Users can easily access
remote systems while error checking is performed automatically. The
NS/9000 product requires the LAN/9000 Series 800/600, Series 700,
Series 300/400 Link product, or the X.25 Link product. The Token Ring
and FDDI links are not supported with NS/9000.
Features
o NS/9000 supports two network services over the high-speed IEEE 802.3
Local Area Network Link:
- Network File Transfer
(NFT) - enables the user to transfer files across a Local Area
Network (LAN) between HP 9000 Series 800, 600, 700, 400, and 300;
HP 1000 A-Series, and the HP 3000 computers.
- Virtual Terminal to HP 3000 (VT3K) - provides virtual terminal
capability from Series 300/400, Series 700s, and Series 800/600s
into HP 3000 systems. Can be used in combination with X-Window-based
HPTERM on Series 300, 400, 700, or with a direct-connected terminal
on the Series 800 or Series 600.
o Industry Standards-based protocols: NS/9000 runs on the LAN/9000
Series 800 or Series 300 Link product, which supports IEEE
802.3/Ethernet thick or thin coax cable or EtherTwist twisted-pair, as
well as transport and internet protocol layers based on the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA) Transport Control Protocol and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). (NS/9000 is not ARPA compatible.)
Functional Description
NS/9000 functionality combines the NS Common Services transports with
the capabilities of the LAN transports and the IEEE 802.3 LAN/9000
Series 800/600, Series 700, and Series 300/400 Links. These facilities
are described in detail in figure 2, which shows the relationship
between the NS Common Services, transports, and like components of the
product.

User Level Services
Network File Transfer
Network File Transfer (NFT) copies files between any two NS nodes on a
network. The HP NFT protocol is common to all HP Network Services
7
implementations. Files can be copied interactively or programmatically.
Network File Transfer includes features that allow users to:
Copy Remote Files:
Using NFT on all local Series 300, 400, 600, 700, or 800 systems, a user
can copy files from a local node to a remote node, from a remote node to
a local node, and between remote nodes.
Translate File Attributes:
File attributes are translated transparently and on demand when files
are copied between different systems. This means that when an HP-UX file
is copied to an HP 1000 A-Series computer, the file attributes will be
translated into RTE-A file format.
Access Remote Accounts:
Files under any account can be accessed if the user provides the correct
user name and password.
The dscopy command is used to copy files from system to system over
the network. This command is similar to the HP-UX cp command, which is
used for local file copies. With dscopy, however, you must specify a
system name and the appropriate login information before a remote file
can be copied. For example, to copy a file from a system named pc_design
to a system named pc_fab, you could execute the command (command is
typed on only one line):
dscopy
pc_design#alpha:beta#source_file\pc_fab#delta:gama#des t_file
The source and destination files are source_file and dest_file,
respectively. The login for pc_design is alpha:beta, and the login for
pc_fab is delta:gama.
Virtual Terminal to HP 3000
Virtual Terminal to HP 3000 (VT3K) allows users on HP 9000
Series 300/400, Series 700, and Series 800/600 systems to log into
HP 3000 systems running MPE/V and MPE/XL. VT3K is supported on two
configurations: HP 2392 or HP 700/92 terminals connected via RS-232 to
a Series 800, or on the X-Window based HPTERM on a Series 300/400/700
system. VT3K is not supported over TELNET connections.
VT3K is invoked using the VT3K command on an HP 9000 and specifying
an HP 3000 hostname. For example, the user opens an HPTERM window on a
Series 300 and types:
vt3k host3000
where host3000 is either an MPE/V or MPE/XL based HP 3000. The
connection is established and the user logs into the HP 3000 normally.
VT3K supports the use of an input file (script) for automatic login
and command execution by using the vt3k-a command. It also provides
options for logging input and output to a file and enabling and
disabling type ahead buffering.
VT3K supports line-oriented and VPLUS blockmode applications on the
HP 3000. Non-VPLUS applications or hybrid applications that mix VPLUS
and MPE intrinsic calls for terminal communications are not supported.
8
Character-at-a-time applications that require type ahead to be enabled
on the HP 3000 are not supported.
Network Link Requirements
Use of NS/9000 requires the Local Area Network Link. The LAN/9000
Series 800/600, Series 700, and Series 300/400 Links alone enable
Series 800/600, Series 700, and Series 300/400 computers to communicate
with other HP 9000 computers using NetIPC and BSD Sockets. Service
Products available to run on the LAN/9000 Links are NS/9000 (as
described in this data sheet) and ARPA Services/9000 (see table 1).
Token Ring and FDDI LAN Links are not supported with NS/9000.

Communication with other Series 800/600, 700, and 300/400 computers over
the LAN requires that the remote systems be equipped with a LAN/9000
Series 800/600, 700, or 300/400 Link and either NS/9000 or ARPA
Services/9000 software. Specific requirements for intersystems
communication with LAN/9000 Series 800/600, 700, and 300/400 Links and
NS/9000 between HP 9000 and non-HP 9000 processors are described in
table 2.

o NS/1000 (91790A) NFT and TELNET* Services
o NS/3000 NFT and VT Services
* TELNET service requires the ARPA Service/800/600 or ARPA
Services/300/400/700 product also.
System Environment
Series 800/600 computers running NS/9000 must be running the
HP-UX operating system version 8.0 or later. Series 700 and
Series 300/400 computers running NS/9000 must be running the
HP-UX operating system version 8.0 or later. A minimal configuration for
NS/9000 Series 800/600 functional operation is 8 Mbytes of memory, which
includes the memory requirements for the HP-UX operating system, and at
least one disk drive. A minimal configuration for NS/9000 Series 300/400
functional operation is 4 Mbytes of memory, which includes the memory
requirements for the HP-UX operating system. Eight or more megabytes are
recommended. Series 300s can run NS/9000 in diskless configurations or
with a disk drive.
Hewlett-Packard System Engineers and Data Communications Specialists
are available to consult in network design, and can assist in designing
an effective network. Consult your HP Sales Representative for more
details.
