Preface
893-769-A vii
This manual introduces some of the tools that you can use to manage the Model 3395 Terminal Server
from a host on the network. In particular, it describes how to use the Model 3395 ASCII Parameter File
Generator (APGEN) utility. This utility converts a binary terminal server parameter file into an ASCII
script file, which you can download from the host to a communications server.
This manual is for network managers who update and maintain Model 3395 Terminal Server parameter
files, and who have some knowledge of the UNIX operating system. This manual assumes that the terminal
server hardware is installed, and that the server is running with a load image and a parameter file. Readers
will use this manual with other terminal server documentation, listed at the end of this Preface.
