Introduction
The CNA-8000 is a versatile 3U, rack-mountable enterprise class server product capable
of running many features and functions traditionally supported by the Cisco CIP/CPA,
IBM 3172 and 2216, and Visara 1174 Control Unit product family. These features
include running as a TN3270 server, providing TN3270 clients access to a mainframe
SNA 3270 environment. Additionally the CNA-8000 can provide SNA gateway access to
remote PU 2.0 and PU 2.1 platforms residing on Ethernet, Token Ring, and SDLC.
Configuration of the CNA-8000 is achieved by means of a secure web browser interface
(HTTPS). You must modify the configuration for your own network requirements. You
can browse to the unit from a PC or you can directly attach a monitor, keyboard, and
mouse directly to the platform and configure it from there. The CNA-8000 ships with a
default configuration including a default IP address. To attach from a PC, the IP interface
can be modified by editing or creating a text file (FEP4600.ini) located on a 3.5” floppy
(supplied with the base unit) using a PC, and inserting this file into the floppy drive of the
CNA-8000, prior to booting. Once booted, you can connect across the network to make
further customization.
Once configured, the CNA-8000 is capable of running independently, without human
intervention. That is, if power is lost and regained, it will automatically boot back into
service using the stored configuration. You can manage the platform using the same
secure web browser connection from anywhere. Multiple management console interfaces
are supported by the CNA-8000, making it ideal for remote disaster recovery operations.
This manual is broken down into the following functional areas:
Environmental and hardware requirements
Use of the browser interface for viewing status and performing normal tasks
Hardware Replacement Procedures
