Overview

The DECserver 300 terminal server

system

enables a variety of datapleads-

only devices (for example, printers

and

terminals) to access

and

use

COln-

puter

resources

Ethernet local area network (LAN).

The

DECserver 300 terminal server

system

comprises three basic cOinpo-

nents: hardware, firmware,

and

software. This chapter provides a definition

the

DECserver 300 system, a description of the server's features,

and

overview of

the

hardware, firmware,

and

software. Also, the EIA-423-A com-

Dlunication

standard

and

the

site requirements for the server are discussed.

1.1 What is

the

DECserver 300 System?

A server is a

computer

system,

node,

where

resources

shared

the

net-

work are located. A server offers these resources to the other

nodes.

The

DECserver 300 system is a type of cODlmunications server called a terminal

server. It provides

efficient way to connect terminals

and

other

devices to

the

Ethernet local area network (LAN).

NOTE

In this manual, the terms "Ethernet"

and

"LAN" are

used

interchangeably.

The DECserver 300 system consists of

the

following:

• DECserver 300 hardware

and

the

devices attached to the server

ports

• DECserver 300 firmware operating

the

hardware unit
