HP-UX SNA3270 Technical Data
For HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 Computer Systems Product
Numbers 36978A, 36979A, J2144A, J2145A, 36980A, 36981A
HP-UX SNA3270 allows interactive communications between an HP 9000
Series 300, 400, 700, or 800 and an IBM System/370-compatible mainframe
using SNA3270 protocols, handling 8-bit and/or 16-bit data streams.
HP terminals, monitors, and printers on the HP 9000 running SNA3270
emulate the functions of IBM 3278 terminals and 3287 printers.
[Figure 1 (HP-UX SNA3270) Caption: none]
SNA3270 provides additional functionality beyond emulation to include
features such as file transfer and multiple sessions.
The HP-UX SNA3270 is available in two configurations: standalone and
gateway. The standalone configuration provides IBM mainframe access for
a single HP-UX computer that has its own HP-UX SNALink. The gateway
configuration permits access to the IBM mainframe from multiple HP-UX
computers on a LAN. These computers generally use a single HP 9000
computer with a Gateway/SNALink as a gateway to access the IBM
mainframe.
The SNA3270 products require HP-UX SNALink for a standalone
configuration. For the gateway configuration, the SNA3270 products
require LAN-based access to a system running HP-UX Gateway/SNALink. The
SNALink provides the major features of an IBM 3274 cluster control unit
and the lower four levels of SNA. Physical Unit Type 2 (PU2) is
emulated, Logical Unit Types 1, 2, 3, and 6.2 (LU1, LU2, LU3, LU6.2) are
supported. When used with HP-UX SNALink or Gateway/SNALink, SNA3270
allows access to 3270 applications on the mainframe such as TSO, CMS,
and CICS.
Features
o Allows HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, or 800 system monitors,
terminals, and printers to emulate the major features of IBM 3278
terminals and 3287 printers. Terminal access can be through the
standard HP-UX supported options (bit-mapped display, serial
interface, multiplexer) or through PCs running AdvanceLink's terminal
emulator. Terminal access can also be through workstation's X-Windows
environments by running a terminal emulator such as HPTerm.
o PC3270 file transfer enables interactive file transfers of 8-bit data
streams on the HP 9000 to IBM systems running TSO, CICS, or CMS.
o In addition to English (8-bit) data streams, HP-UX SNA3270 provides
Native Language Support (NLS), which handles IBM's Double Byte
(16-bit) Character String (DBCS) data. Supported Asian languages
include Japanese Kanji, Korean Hangul, and Taiwanese Traditional
Chinese.
o Multiple session capability through windows environments enables the
user to control multiple host sessions on the same monitor.
o Escape to UNIX(r) shell provides terminal users with the ability to
access other HP-UX programs while maintaining the 3270 session in the
background.
o Efficient screen handling routines provide a very responsive and
low-overhead user interface.
o Powerful commands to monitor and control the operation of the product.
6
o Supports IBM's Response Time Monitor (RTM) which allows users to
display statistics on how quickly the IBM host is responding to
requests for data.
Functional Specifications
When used with HP-UX SNALink or Gateway/SNALink, SNA3270 emulates a 3274
model 51C cluster controller and 3278 Model 2 displays or 3278 Model
printers (up to 32 for standalone SNALink, or 64 for Gateway/SNALink).
Some of the functionality of SNA3270 is:
o All printers and terminals supported by the HP 9000 Series 300, 400,
700, and 800 running HP-UX are supported by SNA3270.
o Emulates the PC3270 file transfer capability that communicates with
the IBM-supported file transfer application on the host.
o Local screen print, screen logging to disk, 3287 printer output
redirection to printer, file, or user program.
Features Not Supported
For the 3278 Model 2 display: programmed symbols, alt cursor, test key,
keyclick, extended attributes, encryption.
For the 3287 Model 1 printer: PA1, PA2, cancel print.
Customer Installation Responsibility
The product is customer installable. User installation aids such as an
automated installation procedure and an IBM host generation guide are
provided to simplify the process. Additional assistance can be provided
by an HP System Engineer on a time-and-materials basis. For additional
information, contact your Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative.
