TERMINAL SERVERS
2.5 Features of the Terminal Servers
• Easy To Use—Command-line editing, recall and completion are all
supported by the Terminal Server’s local mode.
• Easy Configuration—The Terminal Server’s powerful command interface
is easy for users as well as system managers to operate. Software upgrades
are simple, since the Terminal Server’s operating code is immediately
downloaded upon power on.
• Small Size—The small case of the Terminal Server is conveniently sized
for the office environment. The Terminal Server runs without a fan and
does not make any noise.
• Multiple Session Support—Multiple LAT and Telnet sessions can run
simultaneously, with each session connected to any host and using any
supported protocol. The user can alternate between displays of up to
eight multiple sessions supported on each connected terminal.
• Connectivity—Terminals are directly connected to the network by the
Terminal Server. Direct connectivity simplifies terminal cabling, saves
physical ports on the host, and enables the terminal to be available for
multiple hosts.
• Load Balancing—The load-balancing feature enables a Terminal Server to
connect to the most unoccupied node when a LAT service is provided by
more than one node. CPU utilization is thereby balanced and improves
response times to the user.
• UNIX Compatibility—Telnet is supported by almost all UNIX systems.
The Terminal Servers offer support for Domain Name Servers and a local
host table that contains IP addresses of frequently used hosts.
• DEC Compatibility—The Terminal Servers are fully compatible with most
DEC operating systems since it supports LAT and NCP™.
• Telnet to LAT Gateway—A user in a Telnet session is able to communicate
with LAT services. A user in a LAT session is able to communicate with
Telnet services.
• Host-Initiated Transfers—Hosts can share modems and printers when a
Terminal Server is configured to provide its attached devices as services to
other nodes. Jobs can be queued concurrently to Terminal Servers
services by TCP/IP and LAT hosts.
