Software Product Description _________________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: DECserver 200 for ULTRIX, Version 3.3A SPD 27.54.09 DESCRIPTION The DECserver 200 Terminal Server is a network terminal switch for Eth- ernet Local Area Networks. The DECserver 200 provides a convenient method to logically connect up to eight Digital asynchronous terminals to one or more service nodes (hosts) on an Ethernet. Once the terminal is con- nected, a user can, with a few exceptions, utilize application pro- grams and utilities as though the terminal were directly connected to a host via a DZ11, DMF32, or DHU11 device. Thus, it may be possible to utilize the DECserver 200 to connect all terminals, except for host console terminals, to service nodes in place of traditional interfaces. Remote connection via dial-in modems is fully supported. The DECserver 200 also allows for ULTRIX host-initiated connections to asynchronous printers. This allows the printers to be distributed throughout a facility and accessed transparently by service node users. Incoming host-initiated connect requests may be queued first in/first out at the server. The DECserver 200 also provides the capability to connect host sys- tems that do not support the LAT protocol, Digital personal comput- ers, and dial-out modems directly to ports on the server. Interactive server users can issue commands to connect to services that are of- fered on such ports. Port-to-port connections on the same server are also supported. The DECserver 200 implements the Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol for communication with service nodes that implement this protocol on the same Ethernet. This interface has been optimized for high termi- nal I/O performance over an Ethernet, while reducing host CPU cycles required to handle interrupts. Hence, under most I/O loading condi- tions, a significant performance gain may be realized by using the DEC- server 200 versus direct terminal connections via DZ11s. The DECserver 200 also implements and supports the Terminal Device/Session Management Protocol (TD/SMP) to manage multiple sessions at the de- vice level. The DECserver 200 provides the ability to communicate with devices which also implement this protocol, and assists in the man- agement of multiple sessions for these devices. By implementing this DIGITAL April 1995 AE-JC44K-TE protocol, the DECserver 200 can permit attached devices to maintain screen and keyboard context for multiple LAT sessions, as well as al- low these devices to run multiple LAT sessions concurrently. Software that runs on the DECserver 200 may be downline loaded over the network from an ULTRIX load host, or from any other supported load host which runs Phase IV DECnet. DECnet is not required for ULTRIX load hosts. Features such as login load balancing, multiple terminal sessions, au- tomatic failover, and remote printer support can lead to greater user productivity. Terminal access using the DECserver 200 does not require DECnet run- ning in the same service node; LAT uses the Ethernet addressing mech- anism to transport terminal messages. For wide area network communications, terminal users can connect to a local service node running DECnet, where they can "dlogin" to a re- mote system via the DECnet network terminal protocol. If this system has the requisite X.29 or SNA 3270 access routines, a terminal user could communicate to a remote SNA or X.25 host through the appropri- ate gateway and this intervening host. A DECserver 200 terminal user cannot communicate directly to remote hosts through DECnet Routers or X.25/SNA Gateways. Wide area network traffic will not provide the same high level of performance as local terminal connections, due to the additional DECnet and Internet protocol overhead. Features Terminal Connection Management Through the use of a simple command, users can establish a logical con- nection, called a session, to any service node that implements the LAT protocol on the same Ethernet LAN. This connection makes the termi- nal appear physically connected to the service node, and the termi- nal user can use standard system utilities and applications supported by that node. Each terminal connected to the server can connect to the 2 same or a different service node on the Ethernet. Furthermore, sev- eral servers can be used to connect many terminals to one or more ser- vice nodes. A service node can have one or more services that are offered to DEC- server 200 users. Services and nodes are identified by name. Users al- ways connect to services, not to nodes, although often one of the ser- vice names will be the node name. Non-LAT Host Support The DECserver 200/MC can be used to provide logical terminal connec- tions to hosts that do not implement the LAT protocol. In this type of configuration, the server becomes the Ethernet connection and pro- tocol support for these hosts. This expands the LAT network accessi- bility to the terminal user to include LAT hosts directly connected to the same Ethernet and hosts connected to the LAT network via the DECserver 200/MC. A host that supports XON/XOFF, ASCII standards and EIA RS-232-C/CCITT V.24/V.28 interfaces can be connected to the DECserver 200/MC. This provides the terminal user with a transparent connection to the non- LAT host. It is strongly recommended that the server port and the host side port utilize modem control signals to automatically signal the host upon session disconnection. In this configuration, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the port on a DECserver 200/MC and the connection on the host. The Server Manager assigns service names to individual ports or groups of ports that connect the host interface to the server. Load Balancing When a connection is made to a service, the actual node for the con- nection is determined by load balancing. Load balancing is a process the server uses when more than one node offers the same service. Ser- vice nodes sharing service names may be running different operating systems. Using the load balancing process, the server connects to the node with the highest rating for the service desired. This rating is based on the current loading on the nodes that offer the service. 3 Multiple Sessions The DECserver 200 allows each user to establish and maintain up to eight sessions to one or more service nodes, up to a maximum of 64 per DEC- server 200. Only one session can be active at a time. Through simple switching commands, the user can access the different sessions with- out repeating a login dialog each time. Some operating systems may im- pose limits on the number of LAT sessions such a host will support. Multiple Session Management The DECserver 200 server allows direct communication with devices that support the TD/SMP protocol. This protocol provides the ability for the attached device to maintain screen and keyboard context for the multiple LAT sessions which the DECserver 200 provides. By implement- ing the ability to directly communicate with this protocol to the at- tached device, the DECserver 200 can now assist in the management of context of these multiple sessions, as well as allow for simultane- ous output to multiple LAT sessions being maintained by the device. Outbound Connection Queues If a terminal user requests a connection to a server, and the requested service is currently in use, the terminal server users may opt to have the connection requested queued to the remote service. This feature happens automatically whenever a connection fails for this reason, if the user's port has been appropriately configured. The connection re- quest is queued at the service node end and is processed first in/first out until such time as the user's connection request can be completed. This feature assists in the fair management of limited network resources. Once queued for connection, the user also has the option to cancel the queue entry and proceed with other sessions. Welcome Identification The DECserver 200 server standard welcome banner, which includes ter- minal server type, version number, internal baselevel, and protocol version number, is issued whenever a user successfully logs in to the 4 server. The server will also print a server manager settable identi- fication string. This can be useful for automatic server identifica- tion, or for small daily messages used for communication with the ter- minal server users. Local Mode and Service Mode For the most part, the environment provided by the DECserver 200 is identical to that the user would experience if attached directly to the service node. When operating in this mode, the user is said to be in Service Mode. Occasionally, such as during connection establish- ment, the user interacts directly with the DECserver 200. When oper- ating in this mode, the user is in Local Mode. In Local Mode, the terminal input is interpreted directly by DECserver 200 as commands to be performed by the server. The local mode prompt can be modified by a privileged command and can be changed from LO- CAL> to any printable characters up to 16 characters. Additional commands and displays to support the features available with the TD/SMP protocol are usable in Local Mode. These commands will be used to enable or disable server recognition of the TD/SMP commands. Local Mode has three different levels of privilege: privileged, non- privileged, and secure. Privileged mode is provided for the Server Man- ager to control the environment of the server and the terminal users. Access to this mode is password protected. Nonprivileged commands al- low terminal users to control their service sessions, set their ter- minal characteristics, and show server information. The Server Man- ager can set the server to secure mode on a per-terminal basis, which further limits the commands users can enter to only those which di- rectly relate to the user's own terminal. The Server Manager environment is a logical extension of the user en- vironment. The Server Manager is treated as a server user with a priv- ileged status. The Server Manager sets a terminal to this status us- ing a command which requires a password. This privileged status al- lows the Server Manager to enter commands not normally available to 5 server users. These commands set server characteristics, provide con- trol over server port usage, and provide the ability to control the user's access to the server and network services. In Service Mode, the terminal input is passed directly to the connected service node with several exceptions. One exception, called the lo- cal switch character, allows the user to enter Local Mode from Ser- vice Mode. The BREAK key may also be used for this function. Other ex- ceptions, called the forward and backward switch characters, allow the user to switch between sessions without the need to enter Local Mode. The switch characters are disabled by default but may be enabled by command. Both CTRL/S and CTRL/Q are normally interpreted locally but flow control using these characters can be disabled. Autoconnection Autoconnection is a function that automatically connects a user ter- minal to a service node when connection failures occur or upon user login to the server. In conjunction with this function, a dedicated or preferred service can be specified for each terminal user. If a dedicated service is specified, the DECserver 200 will attempt to connect to that service when a character is typed on the terminal keyboard or when an existing connection fails. In dedicated service mode, only one session is available. As this mode is designed to sim- ulate a direct terminal connection, no local mode commands or messages are available to the terminal user. Ports with dedicated service can be automatically logged out of the server when the user logs out of the service node. If a preferred service is specified, the DECserver 200 will attempt to connect to that service as with the dedicated service mode of op- eration. However, the terminal user can enter local mode and estab- lish other sessions. Automatic Session Failover 6 If a service is available on two or more service nodes and a connec- tion to a service fails, the server will attempt to connect the user to another service node offering the same service. The user does not have to be already connected to that service node. Furthermore, the user's context at the time of failure is not automatically restored and login to the new service is required. Groups Every terminal and service node in a LAT network is a member of one or more groups, which are specified by a list of numbers from 0 to 255. Groups allow an easy means of subdividing the network into what ap- pears to be many smaller networks. A terminal user is only aware of the services that are offered by nodes in the same group(s). The Server Manager can specify the authorized group(s) in which a ter- minal is a member. The authorized groups define the set of services that the user is allowed to access. In addition, a user can further restrict access to services by disabling some of the authorized groups using a nonprivileged group command. The user-settable group codes are a subset of the authorized groups. Groups provide a restrictive view of the network. This restricted view is mainly for user convenience and, although it also provides a form of security, it is not intended to be the primary form of access au- thorization or system security for a node. Security The DECserver 200 provides functions that enhance security features already available in the service nodes. DECserver 200 security includes the ability to lock a terminal's keyboard from other users, optional login protection, and nonprivileged local mode of operation as a de- fault. A user may lock the terminal using a lock password. This allows the user to leave sessions running at the terminal without fear of secu- rity violations. When a terminal is locked, all input from the ter- minal is ignored until the lock password is reentered. The lock fea- ture may be disabled by the Server Manager. 7 Each terminal port can be set to operate in a secure mode, which causes all commands that relate to other users to be disabled for that port. Login passwords can be enabled on a per-line basis by the Server Man- ager. If enabled, the terminal user must enter a login password to ac- cess server functions. DECserver 200 users normally have access to the nonprivileged local mode. In this mode, users may only issue commands that affect their own terminal environment. The server has a privileged mode for Server Manager's use. The mode is password protected. Online HELP Facility A full online reference HELP facility is available. The server's HELP command provides information on the correct syntax and details about each command. In addition, a tutorial HELP feature allows new users to quickly learn the basics of DECserver 200 operation. Tutorial HELP may be entered upon logging into the server. Directory Service Any DECserver 200 user can obtain a directory of services available to that user with a SHOW SERVICES command. Services for which the user is not authorized will not be displayed. Permanent Characteristics The DECserver 200 maintains permanent characteristics in nonvolatile memory, which is retained even when the power is disconnected. Per- manent characteristics are maintained for service and server param- eters as well as per-port parameters. Permanent characteristics can be reset to factory defaults by pressing the software reset button on the hardware unit while plugging in the power cord. Port Characteristics Configuration 8 Characteristics governing the operation of an individual port can be displayed by nonprivileged terminal users interactively from their ter- minal. Many of the characteristics may be set up by the user, but cer- tain characteristics are privileged and may only be changed by the Server Manager. Port parameters that can be set and displayed include speed, charac- ter size, group codes, parity, terminal type, access, autobaud, mo- dem, and password protection. Port Access A port on a DECserver 200 may be set up in different ways depending on the device attached to the port and its intended use. DECserver 200 supports RS-232-C and DECconnect asynchronous devices operating at speeds up to 19.2K bps. Port access is the characteristic which determines how a port may ac- cess or be accessed by interactive users and service nodes. o Access Local-Used for interactive terminals. This allows the de- vice (typically an interactive terminal) attached to the port to CONNECT to LAT services. This type of access is also used for dial- in modems. o Access Remote-Designed for applications-driven devices such as asyn- chronous printers which are allocated by a service node process. This allows the implementation of certain shared printers by mul- tiple service nodes. This type of access is also used for connec- tions to dial-out modems, and non-LAT host systems. o Access Dynamic-Designed for devices such as personal computers or printers with keyboards which require both Local and Remote access. o Access None-Designed to allow the Server Manager to disable the use of a port. Terminal Operation 9 The DECserver 200 software supports the simultaneous operation of up to eight asynchronous devices at speeds from 75 bps to 19.2K bps. The software also supports: o Full modem control support (DECserver 200/MC only). o Data leads only support o XON/XOFF flow control o CTS/RTS or DSR/DTR flow control (DECserver 200/MC only) o Split speed (transmit and receive) terminal operation o Modem fallback features (DECserver 200/MC only) o Block Mode transfers o Automatic line speed detection o Digital personal computer file transfer o Data transparency mode o Ability to pass break character and error notification o Ability to assist in multiple session management via TD/SMP Not Supported DMS (Diskless Management Services) is not supported for this product. Server Management Several facilities exist for managing and troubleshooting server op- eration. The Server Manager in privileged mode can set up server iden- tification information, change port characteristics, or fine tune the operating characteristics of the server. The Server Manager can also assign service names to groups of one or more ports that are connected to non-LAT hosts or modems. Troubleshooting facilities include diag- nostic tests, a remote console feature, and online statistics. 10 A privileged user can diagnose Ethernet communications problems by loop- ing messages to an Ethernet host and through the Ethernet hardware in- terface at the server. To diagnose terminal problems, users can ex- ecute a command to transmit test data to their terminal, or the Server Manager can send test data to any terminal. DECnet-ULTRIX is required to support this feature in ULTRIX Version 2.0 and higher operating sys- tems. The capability also exists for the Server Manager to test a service connection by sending data from the initiating port to the service node and back again. The data is then compared and any discrepancies re- ported. At the service node, the data can be looped back by the LAT protocol, or internally or externally at the service port. This fea- ture is supported only by DECserver 200 service nodes. The server maintains a variety of statistics and counters. These in- clude the following: Ethernet data link statistics, LAT protocol statis- tics, and port error statistics. These data can be displayed and ze- roed by the Server Manager. Server parameters that can be modified and displayed include the server identification, circuit timer, session limits, and login limits. Remote Server Management The DECserver 200 implements the console carrier feature, which en- ables access to the DECserver 200 local mode from a Phase IV DECnet load host on the same LAN. With the exception of remote console port configuration, the entire local mode user interface is accessible to the remote console carrier user. This includes the privileged commands, if the user knows the server's privileged password. This capability allows centralized server management and remote server diagnosis. Communications DECserver 200 software is designed to run exclusively on DECserver 200 hardware that includes an Ethernet interface for connection to an Eth- ernet transceiver cable. The DECserver 200/MC has eight EIA RS-232-C/CCITT V.24 asynchronous line interfaces for connecting terminals to the unit. 11 The DECserver 200/DL has a single 36-pin DECconnect connector for 8 ports. On the DECserver 200/MC, each port on the server can be set up by the Server Manager to operate using full-duplex modem control. The DEC- server 200/MC is compatible with Digital's family of modems and with Bell 100 and 200 series modems and their equivalents. A BREAK feature is available and can be set on a per-port basis. This allows the DEC- server 200/MC to force a break condition on connections to host in- terfaces. BREAK can also be passed through from a terminal connected on the server to the non-LAT host connected on the server. DECserver 200 Operation The DECserver 200 ROM-based firmware provides the necessary mainte- nance operation protocols for downline loading DECserver 200 software from an ULTRIX load host over the Ethernet into server memory. All self- test diagnostics are in DECserver ROM, so downline loading is not a precondition for DECserver self-test. In the event of a bugcheck caused by a fatal error, the unit will normally attempt to upline dump server memory to a load host. Following this, the unit will automatically ini- tialize itself and invoke a downline load. Additional Features The DECserver 200 terminal server provides additional features for ser- vice nodes implementing Version 5.1 of the LAT architecture, includ- ing OpenVMS and MicroVMS Version 4.2 and later service nodes. LAT V5.1 includes host initiated connections, which ULTRIX V2.0 and higher sup- ports. Refer to the Software Product Description for the OpenVMS VAX Operating System (SPD 25.01.xx) for more information on support of this operating system. DECserver 200 Configuration and Performance The process of configuring the DECserver 200 is based primarily on trade- offs of cost and performance within the realm of satisfying user ap- plication requirements. Network applications will range from low-speed, 12 low-cost situations (e.g., connecting remote terminals through low- speed modems) to those of relatively high performance (e.g., connect- ing high-speed local terminals to local hosts within a local area net- work or connecting to non-LAT systems). The performance of a given server is a function of the expected network traffic, the load on hosts to which terminals are connected, and resultant processing pursuant to the dedicated function of the unit. Thus performance depends on several factors: o Number of terminals o Number of host systems with active connections to the server o Number of active connections to non-LAT hosts o Terminal speeds o Terminal user applications o Number and size of host buffers o Terminal workload The DECserver can sustain an aggregate character throughput of over 11520 characters per second. This is equivalent to running four ports at 19200 bps, and four at 9600 bps. In order to achieve a viable configuration, the user and/or a Digi- tal software specialist should perform a level of application anal- ysis which addresses the factors above. The actual maximum data through- put cannot be calculated by multiplying the number of lines by the line speed, since many factors already discussed in this section may re- duce the actual throughput. Restrictions on DECserver 200 Usage While terminal connections using the DECserver 200 have been designed to simulate direct terminal connections as much as possible, a few dif- ferences exist because of the nature of the product. Under most cir- cumstances, these differences are not noticed by terminal users or ser- vice node application programs. However, applications which are di- 13 rectly dependent on the following functions may not operate as with a direct connection: o Applications that depend on reading or setting the terminal speed, character size, and parity by manipulating system data structures o Applications that depend on an extremely fast response time (typ- ically less than 200 ms) to operate o Applications that utilize an alternate terminal driver in the ser- vice node Other DECserver 200 Systems Refer to the following Software Product Descriptions for information on other supported DECserver 200 systems.
