Definitions and Terminology
The SL8500 has Dual TCP/IP—two public network interfaces: the one previously used
for TCP/IP—Port 2B on the HBC card—and a second one on Port 2A of the HBC card.
This feature requires FRS_3.08 or higher library microcode.
Terminology associated with TCP/IP and dual TCP/IP are:
■
Dual path—Two distinct physical paths within a network architecture that
interconnect two host systems. Note that these paths are between host systems, not
between a host and an SL8500 library.
■
Dual TCP/IP—Provides two separate host connections between the host software
(ACSLS or HSC) and the library controller. When both communication paths are
available, ACSLS and HSC use both of them to communicate with the SL8500.
■
Ethernet—a local-area network (LAN) architecture that serves as the basis for the
IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet is one of the most widely implemented LAN
standards.
■
10Base-T: 10 Mbps baseband Ethernet over twisted pair cables with a maximum
length of 100 meters.
■
100Base-T: 100 Mbps baseband Ethernet over twisted pair cable.
