Chapter 19: Single Terminal Access

This chapter describes how to configure the Meridian 1 to support Single Terminal Access (STA). STA is available with X11 release 19 and greater, and provides integrated access to operation, administration, and maintenance (OA&M) functions for the systems it monitors. STA allows a single terminal to access the Meridian 1 and up to three other applications, including Meridian Link/CCR. For more information, refer to the ÒSingle Terminal AccessÓ chapter in the X11 System Management Applications (NTP 553-3001-301).
