Altos 15000 Full-Feature Workstation Configuration

The COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS on an Altos 15000 can have up to 24 full-feature workstations. The system console on the host cannot be used as a full-feature workstation. The basic Altos 15000 configuration supports two UIPs and both UIPs can double as full-feature workstations. Consequently, by definition, the Altos 15000 comes with two full-feature workstations. You can add as many full-feature workstations to the network hub and connect additional hubs to support the upper limit of workstations. The maximum configuration of full-feature workstations has seven full-feature workstations configured to the host, three configured to UIP-1, and 14 full-feature workstations configured to UIP-2. The host, UIPs, and full-feature workstations are connected via an Ethernet local area network. The Altos 15000 platform does not support token ring applications. The connection process is done is three stages:

•Stage 1 ± Connect the Altos 15000 host to the two Altos 5000 UIPs via a network hub.

•Stage 2 ± Connect up to four additional dedicated full-feature workstations to the network hub.

•Stage 3 ± Connect additional network hub units to the first hub to support the full 24 full-feature workstation limit.

Connecting the Basic Configuration

To connect the two UIPs, you have to establish a TCP/IP Ethernet network. Figure 4-7 shows what this network would look like for an Altos 15000 platform.
