DIGITAL Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 DESCRIPTION X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems is a layered product for OpenVMS Al- pha systems. It enables appropriately configured systems to connect to an X.25 Packet Switched Data Network (PSDN) via an X.25 Relay node on the same Local Area Network (LAN), via a DNA Phase IV X.25 connec- tor node, or directly using a synchronous controller card. The product supports communication via PSDNs conforming to ITU/TSS rec- ommendation X.25 1980, 1984, and 1988, or to international standard ISO 8208. Refer to the SUPPORTED PUBLIC NETWORKS section for the list of supported PSDNs. X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha Systems also provides the device drivers and specific data link protocol support for Digital Equipment Corporation's synchronous communications options for OpenVMS Alpha systems. X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha allows an OpenVMS Alpha system to: o Act as a packet-mode DTE connected to a supported PSDN. o Support ISO 8208 DTE to DTE point-to-point operation. o Act as a packet-mode DTE connected to a LAN. o Provide an X.25 sub-network for DECnet/OSI CONS and CLNS operation. o Provide a DEC-HDLC point-to-point data link for DECnet/OSI CLNS op- eration. o Act as a combination of the above, chosen on a per-DTE basis. October 1996 X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 The following restrictions of X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha should be noted: o The multi-host mode of operation available in the VAX P.S.I. prod- uct is not provided. o DCE mode is supported for the purposes of point-to-point operation as described in ISO 8208; DCE mode for emulation of a PSDN is not supported. o Use of the D bit in data packets is not supported. o Programming interfaces to the data links and device drivers are not supported. X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha supports the following functions: o Process-to-process (X.25) communication. X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha allows application programs to access X.25 network services via the standard OpenVMS QIO system service. o Process-to-terminal (X.29) communication. Through the X.29 QIO programming interface, users of the OpenVMS Alpha system may make outgoing calls to other Digital or non-Digital systems or suitable network PADs accessible via a PSDN. o Terminal-to-process (X.29) communication. Remote terminals connected to the PSDN may access the OpenVMS Al- pha host running X.25 by means of an X.29 Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) call. o DECnet/OSI Connectionless Network Service. The product supports the use of the DEC-HDLC and X.25 protocols as sub-networks for the OSI Connectionless-mode Network Service (CLNS). o DECnet/OSI Connection Oriented Network Service. The product supports the OSI Connection Oriented Network Service (CONS) for OSI Transport over X.25 sub-networks. o X.25 Mail. The X.25 Mail utility allows communication across a PSDN via elec- tronic mail between two systems running the Mail-11 protocol over X.25. Systems that support Mail-11 over X.25 include WAN Support 2 X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 for Digital UNIX[R], X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha, X.25 Client for Open- VMS, and X.25 installations of DECnet/OSI for OpenVMS VAX. Features Conformance to Standards X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha complies with the following standards: o ITU/TSS recommendations-X.25 (1980, 1984, or 1988), X.3, X28, X.29 o international standards ISO-8208, 7776, 8881, 8802/2, 8878, 8473 Virtual Circuits X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha offers communication over both Permanent Vir- tual Circuits (PVCs) and Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs), and sup- ports up to 4096 virtual circuits in total per system. One virtual cir- cuit is used for each incoming or outgoing X.29 terminal connection, for each X.25 call, and for each DECnet/OSI routing circuit and trans- port connection. The use of PVCs for X.29 communication is not defined by the 1980 and 1984 ITU/TSS recommendations, and is not available with X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha. Virtual circuits may use X.25 protocol over a LAN connection, over a WAN synchronous communications connection or may use Digital X.25 Client for OpenVMS Alpha Systems over a DECnet circuit to a DECnet Gateway Access Protocol (GAP) connector node. NOTE that there is no support for use of more than 512 of the available virtual circuits by Digi- tal X.25 Client for OpenVMS Alpha Systems with DECnet Gateway Access protocol connector nodes. See HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS for details of GAP connector nodes and ISO relay nodes supported. Process-to-Process Communication The X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha programming interface allows application programs to access X.25 packet level services via the standard Open- VMS QIO interface. 3 X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 Functions include the establishment and clearing of network connec- tions, data transmission and reception, sending and receiving of in- terrupt messages, and resetting of virtual circuits. The interface also provides for the segmentation and recombination of messages that are longer than the packet size selected for the circuit. This interface enables an application program using OpenVMS System Ser- vices to communicate with complementary X.25 software on other sys- tems, whether Digital or non-Digital. Terminal Communications X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha supports terminal communications according to ITU/TSS recommendations X.3, X.28, and X.29. Only those terminal pa- rameters defined in the X.3 recommendation are explicitly supported. Network-specific enhancements or extensions to the X.3 parameters are available at both the X.29 programming and the host-based PAD user in- terface. Terminal processes that depend on these extensions may not function correctly when used on other PSDNs or when accessing one PSDN via another (for example, international access). The X.29 interactive terminal interface allows remote asynchronous ter- minals (character-mode DTEs) connected to the network to communicate with the OpenVMS Alpha system in a manner similar to local terminals. The maximum number of terminals supported on a OpenVMS Alpha system (both local and X.29 remote) cannot exceed the number for which the system has been configured. When using applications designed for interactive, local terminal op- erations, transmission delays or PAD parameter settings can cause in- consistencies between incoming X.29 traffic and the application's op- eration. It may be necessary to make modifications to the application user interface or alter PAD parameter settings. The X.29 interface includes a programming capability for the support of specific X.29 signalling requirements, including modification of PAD parameters. Accounting 4 X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 Accounting information is collected and is made available to the user via a report writing utility. For incoming X.29 calls, no information can be retrieved relating to the process or account onto which a user is logged. Security An extensive security facility is provided. Control of remote access to the system (incoming security) and local access to the network (out- going security) are supported. Incoming and outgoing security can be based on any combination of: o Normal or reverse charging o DTE number o Network (PSDN) o Process (or user) making the outgoing call o Application handling the incoming call Network Management The Network Control Language (NCL) is provided for the management of X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha and DECnet/OSI. NCL provides network manage- ment facilities to: o Define outgoing call destinations o Define incoming call handling o Modify X.25 frame and packet levels parameters o Define security parameters o Modify network configuration o Monitor connection statistics o Perform network maintenance functions 5 X.25 V1.0g for OpenVMS Alpha Systems SPD 47.37.08 The network manager can be notified of significant network events such as security violations or network failures through the event logging facility. Problem solving is facilitated by the Common Trace Facility (CTF) pro- vided with the OpenVMS operating system. CTF enables the user to trace and analyse frames passing between the PSDN and the X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha system. Communications Interfaces Refer to the tables in this Software Product Description and consult your local hardware service provider for complete information on the synchronous controller cards supported by X.25 for OpenVMS Alpha, as well as a list of the relay/connector nodes that may be used as X.25 gateways to the LAN. In addition to the devices listed in this Software Product Descrip- tion, operation over CSMA/CD (ISO 8802/3) and FDDI (ISO 9314) networks is supported via the LLC2 protocol.
