Introduction to Model 3395
Host-Based Management
893-769-A 1 -1
The Model 3395 Terminal Server includes several tools that allow you to manage them from a host on the
network. Command scripts and the ASCII Parameter File Generator utility (APGEN), are part of the
terminal server software package. This chapter briefly describes several different host-based tools and how
they can help you manage your Model 3395. It also introduces the APGEN utility, which the remaining
chapters of this book describe in detail.
Figure 1-1 shows a local area network (LAN) with different types of hosts that you can use to run the tools
described in this chapter. Not every type of host supports every management tool.
