HP-UX SNA3179G Technical Data
For HP 9000 Series 300 and 400 Computer Systems
Product Number B1001A
The HP-UX SNA3179G software product enables the HP 9000 Series 300 or
400 running the HP-UX operating system, and the X Windows System, to
emulate an IBM 3179G/3192G color graphics display station. SNA3179G
allows interactive communications between an HP 9000 Series 300 and an
IBM System/370 or compatible mainframe using SNA communications and 3270
data stream.
[Figure 1 (HP-UX SNA3179G) Caption: none]
The HP-UX SNA3179G can be run in two environments-
standalone and gateway. The standalone configuration provides IBM
mainframe access for a single HP-UX machine that has its own HP-UX
SNALink. The gateway configuration permits access to the IBM mainframe
from multiple HP-UX computers on a LAN. These computers generally use
a single HP 9000 computer with a Gateway/SNALink as a gateway to access
the IBM mainframe. The SNA3179G product requires HP-UX SNALink for a
standalone configuration. For the gateway configuration, the SNA3179G
product requires LAN-based access to a system running HP-UX
Gateway/SNALink. The SNALink provides the major features of an IBM 3274
cluster control unit and the lower four levels of SNA. Physical Unit
Type 2 (PU2)
is emulated, Logical Unit
Types 1, 2, 3, and 6.2
(LU1, LU2, LU3, LU6.2)
are supported. When used
with HP-UX SNALink or Gateway/SNALink, SNA3179G allows access to the
Graphical Data Display Manager (GDDM) and 3270 applications on the
mainframe, such as TSO and CMS.
Features
The HP 9000 Series 300 or 400 with SNA3179G supports host interactive
color graphics on IBM System/370 or compatible mainframes, by emulating
a subset of the features of an IBM 3179G color graphics display station.
The SNA3179G
product supports the following
features:
o High-quality color vector graphics
o Seven Color plus black background
o Bit-mapped display with 24 and 32 line support
o Program symbol support:
PSA, PSB, and ISS

o Alphanumeric/APL keyboard HP-UX X.11 Window system support allows the
user to create, move, shuffle, iconify, or refresh windows; the window
manager allows the execution of several HP-UX 3179G appli-cations in a
multitasking mode; the graphics, color, and special effects of the IBM
3179G applications are maintained while executing SNA3179G in the
X Window System
o For information about limited support on X-terminals, contact your
HP Sales Representative
o Two window sizes:
- 512 - 720 pixels
- 672 - 960 pixels (height - width)
o Efficient screen handling routines provide a very responsive and
low-overhead user interface.
o Powerful commands to monitor and control the operation of the product;
a very useful help facility is also provided.
Functional Specifications
When SNALink and SNA3179G are used together, the SNALink emulates an
IBM 3274 model 51C cluster controller, and SNA3179G emulates a 3179G
Model G1
or G2 display.
Local screen print is available with SNA3179G through the
functionality of X Windows.
All printers supported by X Windows are supported by SNA3179G.
9
SNA3179G allows communica-tions with an IBM 370 or compatible
mainframe
running VM, VM/XA, MVS/SP, MVS/XA, or MVS/ESA operating systems and
ACF/VTAM through an IBM 3705 or 3725 communications controller running
ACF/NCP.
Features Not Supported
PCFile transfer capability is not included with SNA3179G. For file
transfer, either SNA3270 or SNA3770 can be used in conjunction with
SNA3179G in a separate X Window.
Other unsupported features are listed in the HP-UX SNA3179G reference
manual.
Customer Installation Responsibility
The product is customer installable. User installation aids such as an
automated installation procedure and an IBM host generation guide are
provided to simplify the process.
Additional assistance can be provided by an HP System Engineer on a
time-and-materials basis. For additional information, contact your
Hewlett-Packard Sales Representative.
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.
