VTAM to TPF (SNI) Connections
The FEP-4600 can provide a VTAM to TPF network connection (or VTAM to VTAM
where the two VTAM domains are in different SNA networks), supporting the SNI
nature of the connection through a simple CTC connection. The following diagram shows
perhaps the simplest manifestation of this scenario.


If an ESCON/FICON director is available to connect the FEP-4600 through, the entire
job can be accomplished through a single ESCON/FICON interface on the FEP-4600.
Without a director, two interfaces would be required on the FEP-4600.
