Overview |
 |
The Datacommunications and Terminal Subsystem (DTS) consists
of host (HP 3000) based software and the DTC (Datacommunications
and Terminal Controller) terminal server.
The DTC family of products supports X.25 communication and
Telnet access to HP 3000 systems, and TCP/IP communication to HP
9000 and non-HP systems.
The DTS allows terminal, PCs in terminal emulation mode, serial
printer, and other asynchronous devices to communicate with LAN-based
hosts in HP-only and multivendor networking environments.

The DTS/TIO subsystem provides the following new functionality
for MPE/iX 6.0 release:
Support of 2000 device classes.
Configuration of the maximum number of sessions
for a terminal switching port on the Host-Based DTC management.
Configuration of the number of hosts sharing the
printer for a printer switching port on the Host-Based DTC management.
The following enhancements were made to MPE/iX release 6.0
for the DTS/TIO subsystem to provide support for all DTC port configuration
parameters of DTC version 14.4 for Host-Based DTC management. Prior
to release 6.0, these features were only available on the OpenView
DTC Manager in a PC-Based management configuration.
Three new modem types for attached
device: US modem In Out, European modem In Out, and Five wires modem.
Two new data length/parity settings.
Configuration to enable or disable flow control
between the DTC and the attached device.
Configuration of the number of stop bits on Host-Based
DTC ports.
"Keep Alive" mechanism can be activated.
Port configuration parameters (data length and parity)
can be specified as forced when binary mode is selected.
Dynamic Configuration of new port configuration
parameters.
