ND 211185 COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway¶
ND 211154 COSMOS Telnet/FTP Client¶
Introduction¶
The TCP/IP - Ethernet set of data-communication protocols is a de facto standard for networking in a multi-vendor environment. The TCP/IP class of products will allow ND and non-ND computers to communicate within the same network.
Functions for the users are remote log-on to/from other vendors and file transfer to/from other vendors.
With the COSMOS TCP/IP products it is possible to run full-screen applications on other vendors' computers as if you were physically connected to them. The only requirement is a VTM table which the remote computer can understand (veg. VT-100).
Most vendors now support the TCP/IP standards, but there are still a few incompatible implementations. To verify the communication between ND and each new non-ND vendor, ND or the customer should test and verify the TCP/IP communication protocols. Norsk Data's head office has a list of TCP/IP vendors who conform to ND's TCP/IP implementation.
Features¶
- Log-on to and from other vendors like DEC, IBM, Unisys, NCR, Honeywell Bull, SUN, Apollo and others who have implemented the TCP/IP protocols.
- File Transfer to and from other vendors like DEC, IBM, Unisys, NCR, Honeywell Bull, SUN, Apollo and others who have implemented the TCP/IP protocols.
- Telnet provides remote terminal access for 16 simultaneous users.
- FTP allows 4 file transfers simultaneously.
- Multiple files transferred in one operation and with one command.
- Files can be transferred as batch or mode jobs at specified time intervals.
Benefits¶
- TCP/IP is now a de facto standard for communication between different vendors.
- TCP/IP is independent of operating systems.
- It is possible to run full-screen applications on other vendors' computers as if you were physically connected to them.
- All ND computers in a COSMOS network can share one COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway.
- Separate controller (Motorola 68000) for the IP and Ethernet communication protocols reduces the main CPU overhead.
- Easy to connect or remove computer to or from the TCP/IP Ethernet.
- COSMOS and TCP/IP protocols on the same physical Ethernet.
Product Description¶
Norsk Data has implemented the IP protocol of the COSMOS TCP/IP (Gateway as a separate controller with its own processor (Motorola 68000) and its own memory (1/2 Mbyte). This relieves the main CPU of much of the overhead from the communication protocol handling. The controller is the same as for COSMOS over Ethernet (ND-110063 Ethernet II Controller).
The Telnet/FTP Server is part of the COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway and resides in the same ND host as the TCP/IP. The Telnet Server program allows remote terminal access to USER ENVIRONMENT or SINTRAN for users of non-ND hosts or workstations connected to the TCP/IP network. The FTP Server program allows file transfer between any non-ND host on the TCP/IP network to SINTRAN or NOTIS-DS.
The COSMOS Telnet/FTP Client software may reside in any ND-100/500/5000 system within a network with a COSMOS route (LAN or WAN) to the COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway. The COSMOS Telnet/FTP Client is the user interface for the TCP/IP protocols and is always installed on your local ND computer. All ND computers in a COSMOS network can share one or several COSMOS TCP/IP gateways. The Telnet Client allows local users to access non-ND hosts through the COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway and the FTP Client allows local users to transfer files to a non-ND host.
The product consists of:
- ND 211185 COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway (including Telnet/FTP Server)
- ND 211154 COSMOS Telnet/FTP Client

For security reasons it is not possible to log on directly to an ND computer in a COSMOS network. The user must first log on to the COSMOS TCP/IP Gateway computer and from this computer use COSMOS. This means that each user (from another vendor) must pass through ND's security system in USER ENVIRONMENT.

Protocols¶
The two protocols TCP, Transmission Control Protocol, and IP, Internet Protocol, were originally specified for ARPANET. ARPANET is a network used by the American defence organisations.
In terms of the OSI model, TCP is a layer 4 transport protocol and IP is a layer 3 network protocol.
ND's TCP/IP implementation for SINTRAN is based on the UNIX® 4.2 BBN implementation.
