This section describes the hardware and software, on the IBM
host and the HP 3000, required to run SNA IMF. IBM Host Hardware Requirements |  |
SNA IMF requires the following IBM host hardware An IBM host can be any IBM System/370-compatible
computer that supports the IBM 3270 family of terminals and printers,
such as a System/370, 30xx, 43xx, or compatible processor.
An IBM host can also be an IBM AS/400, System/36, or System/38. An IBM 37xx Communications Controller
that supports an IBM 3274 Cluster Controller with attached IBM 3278
display stations and IBM 3287 printers. The 37xx must support an
SNA line.
HP 3000 Hardware Requirements |  |
SNA IMF requires the following HP 3000 hardware: For SNA IMF/XL:
An HP 3000 Series 9xx computer system with a PSI card. For SNA IMF/V:
an HP 3000 Series 37, 39, 40, 42, 44, 48, 58, 64, 68, or 70 computer
system with an INP card and the following memory requirements: nine
Segmented Library (SL) segments, including six Code Segment Table
(CST) entries. Your HP representative can help you estimate your
system memory requirements. The SNA IMF/V memory requirement
is a superset of the IMF/3000 memory requirement. IMF/3000 requires
four SL segments, including one CST entry. If you are migrating
from IMF/3000 to SNA IMF/V, be sure to consider the SL segments
and CST entries no longer required for IMF/3000 when calculating
your SNA IMF/V memory requirement.
The HP terminals and printers used
for emulation are connected through one of the following: Datacommunications and Terminal
Controller (DTC) (MPE XL only) or Asynchronous Data Communications
Controller (ADCC) (MPE V only) or Asynchronous Terminal Processor
(ATP) (MPE V only) or Multipoint Terminal Software
(MTS) communication line (MPE V only) or X.25 Packet Assembler/Disassembler
(PAD) or DS Network Services HP 3000
communications link (HP 3000 to HP 3000
only) or HP Network Services (NS 3000/V)
communications link (HP 3000 to HP 3000
only).
 |  |  |  |  | NOTE: For SNA IMF/XL, Pass Thru is supported only on terminals
connected to a Datacommunications and Terminal Controller (DTC). |  |  |  |  |
A data communications line (switched
or leased) between the HP 3000 and the host. A block mode terminal supported by VPLUS for Node
Management Services. See the SNA Link Services Reference
Manual or the SNA Link/XL Node Manager's
Guide for descriptions of NMS screens produced by VPLUS
 |  |  |  |  | NOTE: You may use Pass Thru with any of the printers listed
in Appendix C “Pass Thru Terminal and Printer Specifications” to emulate an IBM 3287 printer. However,
you cannot use a printer that is attached directly to an HP 23xx,
262x, 264x, or 700/9x terminal. Pass Thru requires that a printer
be configured into MPE as a system printer. On MPE V, a system printer
is directly connected through a port to the HP 3000; on
MPE XL, a system printer is connected to the HP 3000 through
a DTC. |  |  |  |  |
HP 3000 Software Requirements |  |
SNA IMF requires the following HP 3000 software: The HP 3000 Multiprogramming Executive
(MPE V or MPE/XL) operating system. SNA Link/V, SNA/SDLC Link/XL, or SNA/X.25 Link/XL.
