4.6.6 SNAP-IX - General Summary
SNAP-IX SNAP-IX provides SNA and LU 6.2 support for systems running the
Caldera Open Linux system with PRISMAproduction. SNA stands for
"Systems Network Architecture", developed by IBM. It serves as the
framework in which the Linux workstation communicates with various
hosts.
SNAP-IX has Motif and character-based user interfaces for configuring and running the
system.
The SNAP-IX software package enables you to attach an PRISMAproduction system to an
SNA network via Token Ring.
This chapter describes the main functions and features of the application and specifies sys-
tem requirements:
Functionality:
Modify job status
3270 Terminal and File Transfer
SNA Protocol support via LU 6.2 Token Ring
Motif and character-based user interface for configuring and running the application
The SNAP-IX User Interface allows configuration of the connection and can be activated by
selecting ’APA’ -> ’LU 6.2 SNA configuration’ in the PRISMAproduction main menu.
The 3270 Session can be activated with this icon:
System Requirements:
SNAP-IX requires an APA-Module system with the Madge PCI Driver V3.09.
Line commands and shell scripts must be in Bourne Shell or Korn Shell syntax.
Hardware Requirements:
In addition to the hardware required to run the APA-Module, the SNAP-IX software requires
a Token Ring adapter (Madge PCI architecture).
For full details of the SNAP-IX configuration interface please refer to the PRISMAproduction
Administrator Guide.
