Abbreviated as NHP, this is any PC workstation running
Open BSI 3.0 (or newer). If the workstation has attached
RTUs, it is said to be 'host' to those RTUs, and they must

other Open BSI 3.0 workstation which wants to contact
this NHP's RTU's must have proxy access to them. The
other workstation (proxy workstation) does NOT need to
know the address of the RTU it wants to communicate
with, it only needs to know the address of the NHP which
'hosts' that RTU, and the RTU's name. NOTE: For BSAP
networks, the NHP can be considered the Network
