The STARLAN NETWORK View of System 25
From the STARLAN NETWORK, the STARLAN CP functions like a STARLAN NETWORK workstation equipped with a Network Access Unit (NAU). The NAU enables STARLAN NETWORK workstations and servers to access and exchange data over the network. Plug number 1 of the STARLAN CP octopus cable should be connected to an “IN” jack on the Network Extension Unit (NEU) (see Figures
The System 25 View of a STARLAN NETWORK
From System 25, the STARLAN CP looks and functions like a TN726 DLC (with only four ports). The STARLAN CP differs from the DLC in that, when it is dialed, the STARLAN CP
Procedures for setting up connections (calls) between STARLAN NETWORK devices and devices connected to System 25 vary, depending on both calling and called device. Generally, a
Calls from System 25 to the STARLAN NETWORK
A. An
The PC may be connected either to a System 25 DLC port or to an analog station or trunk port. (The latter arrangement uses System 25’s Modem Pooling feature. )
A typical call is as follows:
1. The PC user loads ACCESS and is automatically connected to the STARLAN N E T W O R K . ( T h e S T A R L A N C P p h o n e n u m b e r m a y b e e n t e r e d w h e n ACCESS is installed.)
2.The PC user may now access the STARLAN NETWORK just as if he/she were a client connected to the STARLAN NETWORK through an NAU.
Note: Applications that are to be run frequently or are large (>10K bytes) should be copied to the user’s disk before they are run.
B. A Data terminal user accesses a UNIX system host on the STARLAN NETWORK.
When the user dials the STARLAN CP, the CP answers in Gateway Mode and presents the user with a “STARLAN Address” prompt.
A typical call is as follows:
1.The user dials the STARLAN CP.
2.The STARLAN CP provides the address prompt. The user enters the logical name of the STARLAN NETWORK host (for example, 3B2).
3.The user is connected to the UNIX system host and receives the host login prompt.
