X.25/9000 Link Technical Data
For the HP 9000 Series 300/400, 700, and 800 Product Numbers 36941A,
J2159A, and 36960A
The X.25/9000 Link product for the HP 9000 Series 300/400, 700, and 800
provides a network connection on the HP 9000 Series 300/400, 700, or 800
systems to private and public X.25 networks. This product conforms to
the 1984 CCITT recommendations.
This product allows HP 9000-to-HP 9000 communications as well as
HP 9000 to other systems (HP or non-HP) over X.25 networks, through the
use of ARPA services and UNIX(r)-to-UNIX Copy (UUCP).
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 HP 9000 or between HP 9000 and HP 3000 computers.
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 communication 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).
Features and Benefits
o Compliance with industry and international standards
- Supports ARPA/Berkeley Services (except ruptime and rwho) for
HP 9000 computers over the X.25/9000 Link
- Supports NFT for HP 9000-to-HP 9000, HP 9000-to-HP 3000
communications

14
- Provides remote PAD printing capabilities
o Transparent access over multiple nodes and networks
- Dynamic packet routing and gateway capabilities through the use of
ARPA/Berkeley services over Internet Protocol (IP)
- Dynamic packet routing and gateway capabilities through the use of
Open Systems Interconnection OSI when used with X.400
- Provides interface with UNIX-to-UNIX copy (UUCP)
Functional Description
An HP 9000 computer with the X.25/9000 Link product is capable of
simultaneously originating calls to and receiving calls from other
computers over an X.25 network. It can be configured as a DTE (Data
Terminal Equipment) to run over a public or private X.25 network at
speeds up to 19.2 Kbps for Series 300 and 400 DIO systems, and 64 Kbps
for Series 700 and 800 systems. It can also be configured as a DCE (Data
Circuit-terminating Equipment) to run over point-to-point lines (by
using a modem or a modem eliminator).
The OSI Transport Services (OTS) product supports TPO.2. OTS is
required for use with the X.400/800 product.
Remote Terminal Connection
Remote asynchronous character-mode HP terminals connected to public or
private PADs such as the HP 2335A can transparently access any HP 9000
Series 300, 400, 700, or 800 computer over the same X.25 line, for
increased connectivity and lower communications cost. This is
accomplished through the implementation of the 1984 CCITT recommendation
for X.3 and X.29
Programmatic Access
The X.25/9000 Link product also provides a message-based programmatic
interface to the X.25 packet layer 3 to establish communications with
remote HP or non-HP applications. The programmatic interface (through
Berkeley sockets) provides this capability independent of the remote
computer's protocols. It consists of routines that are accessible from C
programs. This interface is fully compatible (except for D-bit parameter
handling) across the HP 9000 family and allows easy migration of the
software developed on this interface.
X.32 Recommendation
THe X.25/9000 Link offers support for some X.32 capabilities (procedures
1,2,5 and 6). The main interest of X.32 is related to the identification
of the calling DTE.
- For security reasons
- To allow the network (PSPDN) to identify the calling DTE
- To charge the calling DTE for the communication cost
- To allow the called DTE or the PSPDN to accept or refuse the
reverse charge
