Preface

HewlettPackard Network Services for the HP 1000 (NSARPA/1000) provides the networking software that allows HP computer systems to communicate with each other.

Audience

The NSARPA/1000 Quick Reference Guide is a condensed version of the following two manuals: NSARPA/1000 User/Programmer Reference Manual and NSARPA/1000 DS/1000IV Compatible Services Reference Manual, which are the primary reference sources for programmers and operators who will be writing or maintaining programs for NSARPA/1000 systems. The purpose of this guide is to provide a quick reference for users who are already familiar with the concepts and syntax presented in the above two manuals.

For your convenience, the NSARPA/1000 Quick Reference Guide also contains a master index of NSARPA/1000 manuals. This is a combined index from the NSARPA/1000 manuals to help you find information that may be in more than one manual.

Assumptions

Since the services described in this manual are both interactive and programmatic, this manual is intended for interactive users as well as programmers. As one of these interactive users or programmers, you should be familiar with the operating systems on the HP 1000, especially the RTEA operating system. For those operations that deal with HP 3000 systems, a working knowledge of the Multiprogramming Executive (MPE) is also recommended. For those operations that deal with HP 9000 systems, a working knowledge of the HPUX operating system is also recommended. Network Managers, who have responsibility for generating and initializing nodes and configuring networks, should consult the NSARPA/1000 Generation and Initialization Manual and the NSARPA/1000 Maintenance and Principles of Operation Manual.
