Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: POLYCENTER Terminal Server Access Module for OpenVMS, SPD 43.99.05 Version 1.4 DESCRIPTION The POLYCENTER Terminal Server Access Module (AM) is a VMS layered prod- uct that provides remote management access to Digital terminal servers within the DECmcc environment. The POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM al- lows DECmcc users to remotely configure and monitor Digital terminal servers anywhere in the extended Local Area Network (LAN) from a sys- tem running DECmcc. POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM is installed and runs on the OpenVMS plat- form, DECmcc configurations for the POLYCENTER Framework (formerly DECmcc Director), and the POLYCENTER Network Manager 200 (formerly DECmcc Ba- sic Management System (BMS)) It is also a component for the POLYCEN- TER Network Manager 400 (formerly DECmcc Enterprise Management Sys- tem (EMS)). POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM V1.4 is the release of software that pro- vides migration of the Terminal Server Manager (TSM) capabilities to the DECmcc environment. The general characteristics of POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM include: o Remote management capabilities for Digital Terminal Servers o Allows for observation, monitoring, and controlling of Digital Ter- minal Servers on Local Area Networks o Ability to display and modify devices, links, physical ports, op- erational and permanent, LAT/Telnet database characteristics o Customize site specific alarms for the devices stored in the MIR (Management Information Respository) for faults, errors, and changed information DIGITAL January 1995 AE-PH36B-TE o Simultaneous management access by multiple users o On-line Help facility o Similar display formats for all manageable terminal servers Management Information Repository (MIR) POLYCENTER Terminal Server (TSAM) AM provides a Management Informa- tion Repository (MIR) that contains the name, Ethernet address, ter- minal server type, and other fields for each server to be managed. Through the TSAM MIR, the user needs to refer only to the name of the server in order to gain access. DECnet Database Modification POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM can automatically update the DECnet man- agement directory. Users do not need to separately use a DECnet AM to update DECnet information. The Terminal Server AM will access the DEC- net database itself to do the appropriate modifications. Fault Management Troubleshooting within the terminal server network is enhanced by TSAM providing the ability, centrally, to read traffic status and counters in addition to error status and counters. With the ``PASTHRU'' util- ity, the user can also connect directly to the server, allowing iso- lation of problems between POLYCENTER Terminal Server AM and the server. Terminal Server Manager supports the following models of communica- tions software: o Ethernet Terminal Server for OpenVMS o DECserver 90L (ROM-resident terminal server software) o DECserver 90L+ (ROM-resident terminal server software) o DECserver 90M for OpenVMS o DECserver 90TL for OpenVMS o DECserver 100 for OpenVMS 2 o DECserver 200 for OpenVMS o DECserver 250 for OpenVMS o DECserver 300 for OpenVMS o DECserver 500 for OpenVMS o DECserver 700 for OpenVMS o DECserver 900 for OpenVMS o MUXserver 90 Remote Terminal Server for OpenVMS o MUXserver 100 Remote Terminal Server for OpenVMS o MUXserver 300 Remote Terminal Server for OpenVMS o MUXserver 320 Remote Terminal Server for OpenVMS o MUXserver 380 Remote Terminal Server for OpenVMS HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Processors Supported OpenVMS-based Processors: VAX: VAXft Model 410, VAXft Model 610, VAXft Model 612 VAX 4000 Model 300, VAX 4000 Model 400, VAX 4000 Model 500, VAX 4000 Model 600 VAX 4000 Model 700 VAX 6000 Model 400 Series, VAX 6000 Model 500 Series, VAX 6000 Model 600 Series 3 VAX 7000 Model 600 Series VAX 8200, VAX 8250, VAX 8600, VAX 8650, VAX 8700, VAX 8800, VAX 8810, VAX 8820, VAX 8830, VAX 8840 VAX 9000 Model 110, VAX 9000 Model 210, VAX 9000 Model 300 Series, VAX 9000 Model 400 Series MicroVAX: MicroVAX 3300, MicroVAX 3400, MicroVAX 3500, MicroVAX 3600, MicroVAX 3800, MicroVAX 3900 VAXstation:VAXstation 3200, VAXstation 3500, VAXstation 3520, VAXstation 3540 VAXstation 4000 Model 60, VAXstation 4000 Model 90, VAXstation 4000 Model 90A VAXserver: VAXserver 3400, VAXserver 3500, VAXserver 3600, VAXserver 3602, VAXserver 3800, VAXserver 3900 VAXserver 4000 Model 300, VAXserver 4000 Model 500 VAXserver 4000 Model 600 VAXserver 4000 Model 700 4 VAXserver 6000 Model 410, VAXserver 6000 Model 420, VAXserver 6000 Model 510, VAXserver 6000 Model 520, VAXserver 6000 Model 610, VAXserver 6000 Model 620, VAXserver 6000 Model 630 Processors Not Supported MicroVAX I, MicroVAX II, MicroVAX 2000 MicroVAX 3100 Model 10/10E, MicroVAX 3100 Model 20/20E MicroVAX 3100 Model 30 MicroVAX 3100 Model 40 MicroVAX 3100 Model 80 MicroVAX 3100 Model 90 VAXstation I, VAXstation II, VAXstation 2000 VAXstation 3100 Model 30, VAXstation 3100 Model 38, VAXstation 3100 Model 40, VAXstation 3100 Model 48, VAXstation 3100 Model 76 VAX-11/725, VAX-11/730, VAX-11/750, VAX-11/780, VAX-11/782, VAX-11/785 VAX 4000 Model 60, VAX 4000 Model 90, VAX 4000 Model 100, VAX 4000 Model 200, VAX 4000 VLC VAX 6000 Model 200 Series, VAX 6000 Model 300 Series VAX 8300, VAX 8350, VAX 8500, VAX 8530, VAX 8550, VAX 10000 Model 600 Series, 5 VAXstation 8000 VAXft Model 110, VAXft Model 310 VAXserver 6000 Model 210, VAXserver 6000 Model 220, VAXserver 6000 310, VAXserver 6000 Model 320 VAXserver 3100, VAXserver 3300, VAXserver 4000 Model 200 MINIMUM RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION * Processor Capac- 6 SPECmark ity: Memory Required: 32 MB Disk: RZ25 Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1): Disk space 8,600 blocks on the system disk required for installation and use: 1,400 blocks on the mcc_common disk 10,000 blocks total These counts refer to the disk space required on the system disk.

The HARD- WARE REQUIREMENTS section details any special hardware required by this product. * V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXclus- ter Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and include CI, Eth- ernet, and Mixed Interconnect configurations. IMPORTANT INTEROPERABILITY INFORMATION Interoperability problems may occur when more than one product con- taining DECthreads is installed on a system. This occurs because some products overwrite the system version of DECthreads. If a product with a different version of DECthreads is installed after POLYCENTER Frame- work, problems may occur. POLYCENTER Framework V1.4 is linked with DECthreads V1.0-422. Later versions of DECthreads have a backwards compatible API. Consequently, no problem should result from having a more recent version of DECthreads on the system. Only SSB versions of DECthreads are supported.
