Discussion

NS 3000/iX Network Services are composed of user services, each of which performs a specific task. These services are VT, Reverse VT, NFT, RPM, RFA, RDBA, LOOPBACK and NSSTAT. Refer to Using NS 3000/iX Network Services for details on Network Services.

To function, Network Services require Network Interprocess Communication (NetIPC), the user interface included with NS 3000/iX links. NetIPC is used extensively by the Network Services when processing change requests and is available for use in customer applications. It is not a service in the same sense as VT or RFA, since it consists of a set of intrinsics and associated code in the system SL and NL. NetIPC intrinsics are described in the NetIPC 3000/XL Programmer's Reference Manual.

The NETCONTROL START command must be issued before NSCONTROL START. This is because the NETCONTROL command controls the network transport subsystem, which must be initiated before the Network Services or any NetIPC application can successfully execute. NetIPC depends on the network transport to identify sockets and exchange messages. Refer to the NETCONTROL START command, also described in this section.
