96 Chapter 3: EIU datafill
297-8991-910 Standard 03.01 August 1999
While table 25 provides all the information you need to datafill for EIUs,
complete information on table ENTYPES is in DMS-100 Translations Guide,
297-xxxx-350.
Sample datafill for table ENTYPES
Figure 22 shows sample datafill for table ENTYPES for an EIU.

Table EXNDINV
Table EXNDINV provides the MAP operator with the capability of
monitoring and controlling nodes that are either attached to SuperNode
switches by EIU, or attached to SuperNode or NT40 switches by an
input/output controller (IOC) X.25 card.
Each node is referred to as an external node. An external node is any piece of
hardware that has an address and responds to a standard communications
protocol. For example, an Ethernet node has an IP address and responds to
Internet control message protocol (ICMP). Examples of external nodes are
UNIX workstations such as SUN and HP, communication servers, and
mainframes.
Another example of a standard communications protocol is X.25, which is also
supported.
Table EXNDINV contains information about external nodes that are either
connected to the DMS SuperNode switch by an EIU, or connected to the DMS
SuperNode or NT40 switch by an IOC X.25 card. Each tuple in the table
contains the node name, address, protocol, and other information about the
external node.
