HP-UX SNAplus3179G, Technical Data
For HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 Computer Systems
Product Number J2236A, J2230A, J2224A
The HP-UX SNAplus3179G software product enables the HP 9000
Series 300/400, 700 and 800 running the HP-UX operating system, and the
X Windows System, to emulate an IBM 3179G/3192G color graphics display
station. SNAplus3179G allows interactive communications between an
HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 and an IBM System/370 or
compatible mainframe using SNA communications and 3270 data stream.
[Figure: , Caption: none]
The HP-UX SNAplus3179G can be configured as either stand-alone or
client/server. The standalone configuration provides IBM mainframe
access for a single HP-UX computer which has its own HP-UX SNAplusLink.
The client/server configuration permits access to the IBM mainframe from
multiple HP-UX computers on an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. These
computers generally use a single HP 9000 computer with an SNAplusLink as
a server to access the IBM mainframe.
The HP-UX SNAplusLink provides the major features of an IBM 3274
cluster control unit and the lower four levels of SNA. Physical Unit
Type 2 and Type 2.1 (PU2 and PU 2.1) are emulated, Logical Unit Types 0,
1, 2, 3, and 6.2 (LU0, LU1, LU2, LU3, LU6.2) are supported. When used
with HP-UX SNAplusLink, SNAplus3179G allows access to the Graphical Data
Display Manager (GDDM) and 3270 applications on the mainframe, such as
TSO and CMS.
Features
The HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and 800 with SNAplus3179G supports
host interactive color graphics on IBM System/370 or compatible
mainframes, by emulating a subset of the features of an IBM 3179G color
graphics display station. The SNAplus3179G product supports the
following features:
o Alphanumeric/APL keyboard HP-UX X11 Window system support allows the
user to create, move, shuffle, iconify, or refresh windows; the window
manager allows the execution of several HP-UX SNAplus3179G
applications in a multitasking mode; the graphics, color, and special
effects of the IBM 3179G applications are maintained while executing
SNAplus3179G in the X Window System
o High-quality color vector graphics
o Seven colors (red, blue, green, yellow, pink, white and turquoise)
plus black background
o Bit-mapped display with 24 and 32 line support
o Program symbol support: PSA, PSB, and ISS 1-4
o Three window sizes:
- 512 x 720 pixels
- 672 x 960 pixels
- 320 x 480 pixels (height x width)
o Two screen formats:
- 1920 characters
- 2560 characters
o Efficient screen handling routines provide a very responsive and
low-overhead user interface
o Adjustment for aspect ratio difference.
o A graphic cross-hair cursor with pixel-level resolution.
o Vector-to-raster graphics, Program Symbol Graphics (PSA and PSB only)
and Triple plane image symbol sets
o A mouse can be used to control the position of the graphic cursor.
o Audible alarm and numeric lock
o APL support.
o For information about limited support on X-terminals, contact your
HP Representative
Functional Specifications
When SNAplusLink and SNAplus3179G are used together, the SNAplusLink
emulates an IBM 3274 model 51C cluster controller, and SNAplus3179G
emulates a 3179G Model G1 or G2 display.
Local screen print is available with SNAplus3179G through the
functionality of X Windows. All printers supported by X Windows are
supported by SNAplus3179G.
SNAplus3179G allows communications with an IBM 370 or compatible
mainframe running VM, VM/XA, MVS/SP, MVS/XA, or MVS/ESA operating
systems and ACF/VTAM through an IBM 3705, 3725 or 3745 communications
controller running ACF/NCP.
Features Not Supported
PCFile transfer capability is not included with SNAplus3179G. For file
transfer, either SNAplus3270 or SNAplusRJE in a separate X Window, can
be used in conjunction with SNAPlus3179G.
The following major features of an IBM 3179G color display station
are not implemented by SNAplus3179G:
o Response time monitor function.
o Attached plotter
o Fields or characters with the blinking attribute
o Operator selection of:
- Alternate alpha and graphic cursor type
- Graphic/alpha cursor select using +Cr key
- Cursor blink, keyboard click, numeric lock, audible alarm volume
o Alpha cursor movement using a mouse
o Accelerated or diagonal cursor movement
o Cursor position display
o Keyboard entry assist
o Cancel screen copy in progress
o Basic assurance test
o Offline test
o Attribute/null display test
o Underpaint background mix

Customer Installation Responsibility
Installation of these products requires knowledge in several overlapping
areas. The staff engineer responsible for this task must have strong
knowledge of (or have direct contact with staff with strong knowledge
of): SNA networks, application environments, HP-UX system
administration, and X-window setup.
Installation requires basic SNA knowledge. This includes knowledge
of interface nodes, network routers, NAUs, PUs, LUs, link types, IBM
hardware and software.
The installer must understand why the SNAplus products are being
installed, how the users are going to use SNAplus and how SNAplus fits
into the network solution.
Installation of SNAplus requires a thorough user-level knowledge of
HP-UX commands. In addition, the installer must be familiar with:
- running update on an HP-UX system
- running SAM (in order to add users)
- the HP-UX file system, privilege groups, and real-time features
- running LAN and PSI diagnostics on an HP-UX system
- HP-UX kernel configuration
Customers who cannot compose a team with this skill set should purchase
HP Installation and Network Startup services.
Additional Implementation Assistance
For implementation needs that go beyond installation, the customer can
either provide self-support, or can purchase additional services from
HP. These services include Network Startup and HP ConsultLine. In
addition, the customer can also purchase service from HP on a
time-and-materials basis.
Network Startup includes implementation scheduling and coordination
assistance, network configuration and verification testing, and network
documentation.
Ordering Information
HP-UX SNAplus3179G includes right-to-use license and software. For
Series 300, 400, and 700, customer must specify software version option
and a media option, and for the Series 800, a processor option.
HP-UX SNAplus3179G requires HP STREAMS/UX for Series 300, 400, 700,
and 800 running HP-UX 9.0.

HP-UX SNAplus3179G requires previous installation of HP-UX SNAplusLink
(J2220A or J2226A) either on the stand-alone or on the server system.
The software which the customer orders contains both the stand-alone
and client/server configuration software. During installation, the
customer chooses which configuration is required.
Upgrade options are available for Series 800 SNAplus products.
Please consult the HP 9000 price guide for details.
Note: A copy of HP-UX SNAplus3179G must be ordered for each HP-UX
system which is to communicate with the IBM mainframe through the
server.
