IMPART for UNIX - Fujitsu VME Unix Connectivity
Our IMPART for UNIX emulates Fujitsu's IPA communications for RSA video terminals, File Transfer Facility and Direct Print. These are accessed using the convenient IMPART menu system, which also accesses the configuration, security and address details.
Product Benefits
- Interactive Video (IV) - Allows users to log-in to remote VME sessions and access the services, supports the PC's colour or grey scales, as well as each session occupies an independent window allowing users to run simultaneous host sessions
- File Transfer Facilities (FTF) - Transfers text or binary files between the UNIX server and any Fujitsu remote mainframe, departmental or distributed system supporting Network Independent File Transfer Protocol (NIFTP)
- Direct Print (DP) - Allows files held on a remote VME mainframe to be printed out or transferred to a file on the client
- Direct Print Primary (DPP) - Allows local computer users to access print services on remote computers
- Application Data Interchange (ADI) - Allows programmes to be written which transfer data to and from similar programmes on other machines, ADI does not have a protocol of its own, however, it provides a simple read/write interface to the transport service (It can be used over any network type supported by the transport and to any type of remote computer provided it supports the correct network protocol)
- Two forms of ADI are available for Unix - C language library (ADI is released as a C library and header file) and ADI Java class (This uses a library written using Java Native Interface (JNI) to provide a bridge between Java and C)
- Supports ISO Transport using STREAMS - IMPART for UNIX is an ISO Transport implementation fully conforming to ISO 8072/3 standards, to support Classes 0, 2, 3 and 4. STREAM supports ISO Transport protocol over Local Area Networks (LANs)
- Distributed Application Facility (DAF) - Allows users to develop UNIX-based applications to interface with Fujitsu's Transaction Processing Management System (TPMS)
- Remote Virtual Console - Allows UNIX systems and their attached terminals to access remote Fujitsu systems that support RVC over ISO Transport, RVC comprises both Server (RVCS) and Requester (RVCR), in addition RVC also provides support for a subset of the TS29 protocol allowing Fujitsu OSVT terminals to be connected in a similar way
- Transport Relay - Transparently routes between an Ethernet LAN and RFC 1006 network
- RFC 1006 - Allows OSI communications over a TCP/IP network
