          Compaq SNA Peer Server, Version 1.6

          Dear Customer:

          This kit contains the Compaq SNA Peer Server for Tru64 UNIX,
          Version 1.6, software and user documentation. The Compaq SNA
          Peer Server for Tru64 UNIX product supports the Compaq Tru64
          UNIX Version 5.1 and 5.1A operating system and its associated
          License Management Facility (LMF) requirements.

          Features

          The Compaq SNA Peer Server for Tru64 UNIX software links TCP/IP
          and DECnet users to the SNA environment. In the non-SNA envi-
          ronment, the Peer Server is media independent, allowing you to
          connect to it over Ethernet, token ring, FDDI, or other networks
          supported by Tru64 UNIX. In the SNA environment, the Peer Server
          connects to SNA nodes over:

          o  SDLC-Synchronous Data Link Control

          o  QLLC-Qualified Logical Link Control (requires Compaq Wide
             Area Networking Support for Tru64 UNIX)

          o  LLC2-Logical Link Control type 2 (supports Ethernet, token
             ring, and FDDI)

          Both wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) access
          are supported. As a type 2.1 device, the Peer Server provides
          primary and secondary access to the SNA network, including
          support for multiple concurrent sessions using a given logical
          unit (LU). Support for LU6.2 protocols allows implementation of
          parallel sessions.

          Peer Server features include:

          o  Implemented as an application running on Tru64 UNIX Alpha
             system.

          o  Multiprotocol support (TCP/IP and DECnet).

          o  Backward compatibility with most Compaq SNA access routines
             and applications.

          o  Support for SNA node type 2.1 protocols

          o  Connections into an SNA Advanced Peer-to-Peer network (APPN).

          o  Support for LU6.2 protocols.

          o  Support for SNA node type 2.0 protocols for use in tradi-
             tional hierarchical networks.

          o  Includes a TN3270 server that allows TN3270 clients to access
             IBM applications as SNA terminals; TCP/IP is not required on
             the mainframe.

 






          o  Support for a Primary Dependent LU feature similar in func-
             tionality to the AS/400 SNA Primary LU Support feature.
