Using SNA IMF Pass Thru: HP 3000 MPE/iX Computer Systems > Chapter 1 Introducing SNA IMFHewlett-Packard's IMF Products |
|
Hewlett-Packard offers three different IMF products: SNA IMF/V on MPE V, SNA IMF/XL on MPE XL, and IMF/3000 on MPE V. SNA IMF/V and SNA IMF/XL use Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) protocol. IMF/3000, which runs only on MPE V, supports either Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) or SDLC protocol. An HP 3000 running IMF/3000 functions as a Type 1 node. You can migrate from IMF/3000 to SNA IMF/V (on MPE V) with minor modifications to your HP application programs. Appendix F “Differences Between IMF/3000 and SNA IMF/V” of this manual describes the differences between IMF/3000 and SNA IMF/V.
This manual describes Pass Thru mode for both SNA IMF/V and SNA IMF/XL. Programmatic access mode for SNA IMF/V and SNA IMF/XL is documented in the SNA IMF Programmer's Reference Manual. The IMF/3000 product is documented in the IMF/3000 User/Programmer Reference Manual.
