X.25/9000 Link
Technical Data
For the HP9000 Series 300/400: product number 36941A
Series 700 : J2159A
Series 800 : 36960A
The X.25/9000 Link product for the HP9000 Series 300/400,
700 and 800 provides a network connection on the HP9000
Series 300/400, 700 or 800 to private and public X.25
networks. This product conforms to the 1984 CCITT
recommendations.
This product allows HP9000-to-HP9000 communications as well
as HP9000 to other systems (HP or non-HP) over X.25
networks, through the use of ARPA services, Unix - to - Unix
Copy (UUCP), OSI and SNA over QLLC . ( SNAplusLink is only
available on Hp9000 s/700 and s/800).
Remote display terminals are supported by implementation of
host PAD capability (CCITT recommendation X.3 and X.29) on
the X.25/9000 Link product. Host PAD emulation and remote
PAD printer is also supported by the X.25/9000 Link product.
NFT, HP's Networking Services product is supported for
communications between HP9000s or between HP9000s and
HP3000s, (MPE/V and MPE/XL). In addition, the X.25/9000
Link product provides programmatic access (through Berkeley
sockets) to X.25 packet layer 3 and via TCP provides access
to HP's NetIPC. This allows customers to develop their own
protocol and services for communications with remote HP or
non-HP systems over an X.25 network.
The X.25/9000 Link product supports OSI services environment
when implemented with the OTS/9000 product. The X.400/800
product allows customers to exchange electronic mail using
the X.400 protocols over the X.25/9000 Link (Series 800
only).
