This manual describes Hewlett-Packard's Systems Network Architecture
Interactive Mainframe Facility (SNA IMF) for both the MPE V (SNA
IMF/V) and MPE XL (SNA IMF/XL) operating systems. Systems Network
Architecture (SNA) is IBM's specification for distributed
data processing networks. This manual describes the features and
uses of Hewlett-Packard's SNA IMF, which communicates in
an SNA environment.

SNA IMF allows interactive and programmatic communications between
an HP 3000 computer and an IBM host computer. SNA IMF emulates
an IBM 3274 cluster controller, with attached 3278 display stations
and 3287 printers, functioning as a Type 2 node in an SNA network.
This manual describes Pass Thru, the
interactive interface to SNA IMF.
SNA IMF intrinsics, the programmatic interface to SNA IMF,
allow communication between applications on the HP 3000
and applications on the remote host. SNA IMF intrinsics are described
in the SNA IMF Programmer's Reference Manual.
For information on installing, configuring, managing, and troubleshooting
SNA IMF, see the SNA IMF/XL Node Managers Guide for
SNA IMF/XL or Installing and Troubleshooting SNA IMF for SNA IMF/V.
