PREFACE
This manual contains installation and servIcIng information for the HP 30244M Intelligent Network
Processor (INP). The INP is a functionally flexible, single-channel data processor that provides I/O
capability between the HP 3000 Series 37 Computer System and other computer systems via either
nl0dulator/demodulators (modems) and telephone lines or direct connection.
This manual was written with the assumption that the reader has a thorough knowledge of the HP 3000
Series 37 I/O system and is familiar with the latest data communications techniques.
This
manual is organized as follows:
Section I,
General Information, briefly describes the main features of the INP and how it operates.
This section also describes how
the INP is configured in the computer system, lists the equipment
supplied with the INP, and lists its specifications.
Section
2, Installation, contains instructions for installing the INP printed circuit assembly (PCA)
and its interconnecting cabling into an HP 3000 Series 37 Computer System.
Section
3, Programming Information, states the fact that the INP is preprogrammed and requires
no field programming.
Section 4, Principles of Operation, is adescription of the hardware operation of the INP and its
associated
communication channels. Since this is a brief overview, intended only to give the user a
better understanding of how the INP does its job, some minor operational details have been omitted.
Section 5, Maintenance, contains general servicing information, troubleshooting procedures, repair
instructions, and adescription of applicable maintenance aids.
This manual should be retained and used with related documentation for the HP 3000 Series 37
Computer System and the INP. Related documents include the following technical manuals:
