HP-UX SNAplusLink, Technical Data
For HP 9000 Series 700 and 800 Computer Systems
Product Numbers J2226A, J2220A
HP-UX SNAplusLink provides communications between an HP 9000
Series 700 or 800 and an IBM mainframe or an IBM peer system such as the
AS/400. The SNAplusLink manages the SDLC, QLLC and Token Ring line to
the host and emulates the major features of an IBM 3274 cluster control
unit using the lower four layers of SNA. Node Type 2.0 (T2.0) for
hierarchical connectivity and Node Type 2.1 (T2.1) for peer-to-peer
connectivity are supported. Logical Unit Types 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6.2
(LU0, LU1, LU2, LU3, LU 6.2) are supported.
[Figure: , Caption:none]
The HP-UX SNAplusLink can be configured as either stand-alone or as a
client/server. The stand-alone environment provides access to IBM
mainframes or IBM peer systems for a single HP-UX computer which has its
own HP-UX SNAplusLink. Running in the client/server environment permits
access to the IBM systems from multiple HP-UX computers on either an
Ethernet or Token Ring LAN. These computers generally use a single
HP 9000 computer with a SNAplusLink as a gateway to the IBM system.
The HP-UX SNAplusLink product is used in conjunction with a service
product (HP-UX SNAplus3270, SNAplusAPI, SNAplusRJE, or SNAplus3179G.
Please refer to the appropriate data sheets for more information.) A
copy of a service product must reside on each HP-UX computer which is to
communicate with the IBM system through the server system.
Features
o SNAplusLink allows the HP 9000 to emulate the major features of a 3174
and 3274 cluster controller using SNA protocols.
o SNAplusLink supports a maximum of 254 Logical Session Units (LUs) as
terminals and printers concurrently per link card with a maximum of
2,000 LUs per system.
o Supports PU 2.1 primary to initiate connections with peer systems
including other HP 9000s.
o The HP-UX SNAplusLink running on the HP 9000 Series 700 and 800
systems acts as a server for SNAplus clients running SNAplus3270,
SNAplusAPI, SNAplusRJE, and SNAplus3179G on an HP 9000 Series 300,
400, 700, and 800 and can communicate simultaneously to the mainframe
using any or all of these services.
o An HP 9000 Series 700, or 800 with HP-UX SNAplusLink can function as a
non-dedicated gateway. Depending on the customer's specific
application requirements, SNAplusLink easily operates on a Series 700
or 800 while running other HP-UX applications.
o BSD Sockets is the defacto industry standard interface used between
the SNAplusLink and the SNAplus service products in a client/server
environment.
o SNA and TCP/IP can run concurrently over the same Token Ring card.
o SNA and OSI can run concurrently over the same X.25 link card.
o The SNAplusLink product supports line speeds up to 64 Kbps over
switched or leased lines for SDLC or QLLC connections, and 4Mb and
16Mb for Token Ring connections.
Functional Specifications
o All printers and terminals supported by the HP 9000 Series 700 or 800
running HP-UX are supported by HP-UX SNAplusLink.
o SNAplusLink allows communication with an IBM 370 or compatible
mainframe running VM, VM/XA, MVS/SP, MVS/XA, MVS/ESA, or DOS/VSE
operating systems and ACF/VTAM through an IBM 3705, 3725 or 3745
communications controller running ACF/NCP. SNAplusLink also allows
comunication with IBM midrange systems such as the AS/400, S/36 or
S/38 as peers.
o Up to ten SDLC link cards may be supported in a single Series 700 or
800 depending on the number of card slots available. This allows
links to multiple IBM systems.
o Up to five Token Ring cards may be supported in a single Series 700 or
800 depending on the number of card slots available.
o NetView alarms and alerts are sent to the NetView console.
o The SNAplusLink supports synchronous modem speeds up to 64Kbps as
described below. SNAplusLink requires synchronous modems that support
the following handshake signals: DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, CD, RI. Modems
must also provide transmit and receive clocks for the SDLC interface
and ensure ground isolation between the communication systems. The
following modems are supported for HP-UX SNAplusLink:
AT&T 201C
AT&T 208 BR
AT&T 209A
AT&T 500B

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): hardware configuration and HP-UX system administration.
Installation requires basic SNA knowledge. This includes knowledge
of interface nodes, network routers, NAUs, PUs, LUs, link types, IBM
hardware and software.
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
The installer must be familiar with HP 9000 Series 300, 400, 700, and
800 systems, be able to install interface cards, shut down and restart
the system and have the ability to configure a modem for QLLC and SDLC,
and perform token ring link setup. The installer should also know
peripheral hardware capabilities.
Hardware configuration also includes an understanding of
client/server topologies, and what products will be on the client or the
server.
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.
