ASCII Hosts
For network management at the host, the following programs can be used:
• NetViewfully supports the 3708 alerts and response time monitor (RTM) data.
NetView contains both Network Problem Determination Application (NPDA)
and Network Logical Data Manager (NLDM).
• Network Problem Determination Application (NPDA), Version 3 or later,
supports only the specific and general cause codes of 3708 alerts.
• Network Logical Data Manager (NLDM), Release 2 or later, supports response
time statistics.
The 3708 can be connected to multiple ASCII hosts using point-to-point links. The
connection can be direct, or it can be remote using a nonswitched (leased) line.
ASCII host connections use the EIA 232C interface.
Line speeds as high as 19200 bps can be used. The speed used by the host.and the.
speed used by the end-user device should be the same.
Full duplex transmission must be used.
ASCII End-User Devices
The 3708 can be connected to ASCII end-user devices using either a direct or remote
connection. End-user device connections use the EIA 232C interface or, for
distances over 15 meters (50 feet), the EIA 422A interface. A remote connection can
use either switched or nonswitched lines. Line speeds can be as high as. 19200 bps.
Protocol Conversion Mode
For protocol conversion mode, the 3708 supports various displays, printers, and
keyboard printers.
