Altos 15000 Full-Feature Workstation Configuration
The COMSPHERE 6800 Series NMS on an Altos 15000 can have up to 24 full-feature
workstations. The system console on the host cannot be used as a full-feature workstation. The
basic Altos 15000 configuration supports two UIPs and both UIPs can double as full-feature
workstations. Consequently, by definition, the Altos 15000 comes with two full-feature
workstations. You can add as many full-feature workstations to the network hub and connect
additional hubs to support the upper limit of workstations. The maximum configuration of
full-feature workstations has seven full-feature workstations configured to the host, three
configured to UIP-1, and 14 full-feature workstations configured to UIP-2. The host, UIPs, and
full-feature workstations are connected via an Ethernet local area network. The Altos 15000
platform does not support token ring applications. The connection process is done is three stages:
•
Stage 1 – Connect the Altos 15000 host to the two Altos 5000 UIPs via a network hub.
•
Stage 2 – Connect up to four additional dedicated full-feature workstations to the network
hub.
•
Stage 3 – Connect additional network hub units to the first hub to support the full 24
full-feature workstation limit.
Connecting the Basic Configuration
To connect the two UIPs, you have to establish a TCP/IP Ethernet network. Figure 4-7 shows what
this network would look like for an Altos 15000 platform.
