Eicon SNA Gateway Components
Eicon SNA Gateway is a combination of sophisticated communications
hardware and software. The Eicon SNA Gateway software consists of SNA
protocol software and, for the SNA LAN Gateway, LAN Transport services.
The diagram below presents an overview of Eicon SNA Gateway components
and installation locations:
The gateway PC maintains the link to remote host computers and handles all
processing of 802.2 LLC, SDLC, X.25/QLLC, Frame Relay, or Eicon IDLC
communications protocols. Most of the work is actually done by the Eiconcard,
allowing the gateway PC to be used for other tasks as well.
SNA LAN Gateway includes LAN Transport software that enables the gateway
PC to provide communications services to workstations on the LAN.
Workstation users run terminal emulation software, such as Aviva
®
for
Desktops, to establish connections with any host to which the gateway PC is
linked.
