The Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server is a combination of hardware and software that links users at
serial devices, such as terminals, to resources on both local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks
(WANs). These resources include a variety of hosts, workstations, and printers, as well as other SynOptics
terminal servers. You can use a terminal server to gain access to any of these hosts on the network:

•
UNIX hosts that support the TCP/IP protocol
•
International Business Machines (IBM) hosts that have a Telnet server
•
DEC VAX hosts running ULTRIX that support TCP/IP
•
DEC VAX hosts that support the Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol
When a user such as the one shown in Figure 1-1 makes a connection to a LAN host through the terminal
server, he can use all the resources on that host as if his terminal were directly attached to it.
