1 Preface
This manual describes the architecture and concept of the High-speed Network Connect
(abbreviated to: HNC). The HNC connects S servers to the LAN. The HNC offers a Web
interface, the HNC Manager, for its operation and management.
The manual describes the products HNC-V 91854 and HNC-VI 91855.
For the sake of simplicity, these are referred to as HNC in this manual.
1.1 Objectives and target groups of the manual
This manual is intended for systems support and the network administrator.
It is assumed readers have a knowledge of BS2000 system operation, BS2000 systems
support, and BS2000 administration.
1.2 Summary of the contents
The documentation for the HNC with the software status V2.1 consists of this manual, the
Security Manual, and the online help.
●The manual provides an overview of the architecture and concepts of the HNC and
presents its functions.
●The Security Manual [6], which also applies for the SQ server and the SKP, describes
aspects which are relevant to security for the HNC.
●The online help describes all the functions of the HNC Manager. You open the online
help in the HNC Manager, see also Calling the online help.
The manual is structured as follows:
The chapter “Architecture” provides a schematic description of the HNC’s architecture and
hardware and the connections to the S server.
The chapter “Operating the HNC” explains the structure of the Web interface and how the
HNC is accessed via the CLI (Command Line Interface).

Changes since the last edition of the manual Preface
8 U41655-J-Z125-5-74
The chapter “BS2000 connections” describes the main function of the HNC, which is to
monitor BS2000 connections and, when required, to restart them.
The chapter “Managing the HNC” describes how you manage the HNC using the functions
of the HNC Management in the HNC Manager.
The chapter “Diagnostics and maintenance” describes how you perform maintenance for
the HNC and how you proceed when a fault occurs.
These chapters are followed by the chapter on related publications and an index.
Further documentation
The manuals “System Installation” [1] and “Introductory Guide to Systems Support” [2] are
recommended for obtaining a basic understanding of BS2000/OSD.
The ”VM2000” manual [3] is recommended for obtaining a basic understanding of VM2000.
The “openNet Server BCAM” manual [4] is recommended to provide further information on
the data communication system BCAM.
The BS2000/OSD commands referred to in this manual are described in the “Commands”
manual [5], and the VM2000 commands in the “VM2000” manual [3].
Operation of the S servers is described in the relevant “Business Server Sxxx” Operating
Manuals.
Operation of the PRIMERGY server of the TX300/RX350 series which is used as the
hardware basis for the HNC is described in the relevant Operating Manual.
1.3 Changes since the last edition of the manual
This manual has been completely revised to describe the new functions of the HNC.
