AUDIENCE:   This course is for technical support staff who will be involved in implementing, supporting and managing VME-based networks. PREREQUISITES:   This course is not suitable for anyone without VME system management experience. Such people should have first attended the courses such as VSCLP, VTS, VMENOVASCLP and VMENOVASMTS. DURATION:   5 days. Hands on. OBJECTIVES:   The main topics covered on this course are: - Network Architecture. - VME communications cataloguing for the Ethernet and Full XBM protocols. - Service and SAP structures for each of RSA, FTF, FTAM, DTS and ADI including the user Interface, Implementation on VME, Operational aspects and diagnostic Aids. - TCP/IP Cataloguing. On successful completion of this course delegates will be able to: - Understand how VME-based networks are implemented. - Implement and support the VME catalogued hierarchies which enable communications connections to be made. - Implement, support and use on VME: Remote Session Access (RSA), File Transfer (FTF and FTAM), Distributed Transaction Systems (DTS) and Application Data Interchange (ADI). - Provide Fujitsu support staff with relevant diagnostic and trace information produced by VME. - Know how to catalogue a TCP/IP communications link. - Gain an overall knowledge of networking systems.
