4.1.16 InfoConnect INT1

The InfoConnect INT1 Transport package consists of two InfoConnect libraries:

  • Interactive 1 external interface library (EIL)

  • Telcon service library (SL)

As shown in the following figure, these libraries enable PCs to communicate with ClearPath IX, 2200 Series, or System 80 hosts via TCP/IP:

Figure 4-6

The TCP/IP EIL and TP0 SL are included in the InfoConnect TCP/IP Transport package. When you create or configure INT1 paths, you configure both INT1 and the TCP/IP Transport.

To enable a PC to communicate with a host, you must create at least one InfoConnect path.

INT1 Features

The INT1 Transport offers a number of features:

  • You can specify a number of different device types to emulate, including a UTS 20/40/60 terminal or a printer.

  • You can specify an initial transaction for all paths that access a particular host application, or you can specify the initial transaction for each path.

  • You can connect to the host automatically when you open a terminal emulation session.

  • You can identify the host using either an IP address or a domain name.

  • You can specify a number of communication options, such as the commands to use to establish and end host communication.
