What was the primary function of Non-SNA Interconnect?
Non-SNA Interconnect facilitated communication between SNA and non-SNA systems. It enabled applications like RSCS and JES/RTAM to interact with devices such as BSC RJE devices. This was achieved by installing software on mainframe systems and loading it into communication controllers like the 3725 and 3745.
How did Non-SNA Interconnect enable communication between different types of systems?
Non-SNA Interconnect was designed to allow non-SNA devices to connect to applications on mainframe systems. The communication controllers, such as the 3725 and 3745, acted as the intermediary, enabling the exchange of data between the different types of systems and devices.
What were the key architectural components of Non-SNA Interconnect?
The product's architecture involved software installed on mainframe systems and loaded into communication controllers. These controllers, such as the 3725 and 3745, were essential for managing the communication flow between SNA and non-SNA environments.
What were the typical use cases for Non-SNA Interconnect?
Non-SNA Interconnect was primarily used to connect non-SNA devices, such as BSC RJE devices, to mainframe applications like RSCS and JES/RTAM. This allowed for data exchange and processing between these different types of systems.
