Support for Load Servers and Parameter Servers
UNIX® hosts and VAX hosts, running VMS or ULTRIX, can supply the operating software, or load
image, to Model 3395 Terminal Servers on the network. These hosts can also maintain the parameter files
for Model 3395 Terminal Servers and receive diagnostic files from these products if a problem occurs.
Hosts that offer these services function as load servers, parameter servers, and dump servers for Model 3395
Terminal Servers.
You can configure one or more hosts as load servers and parameter servers while also using Model 3395
Terminal Servers as load servers and parameter servers. For example, you might use a Model 3395
Terminal Server as the primary load server and parameter server for other Model 3395 Terminal Servers in a
System 3000 chassis. You can also use a host as a backup parameter server and another host as a back up
load server for the products in the chassis.
When you order software from SynOptics, you specify whether you will need a UNIX kit or a VAX/VMS
kit. SynOptics sends you the appropriate software kit and documentation for the load server. For more
information about how to configure UNIX hosts and VAX/VMS hosts as load servers, parameter servers,
and dump servers, see the following manuals:

on UNIX hosts.
• Model 3395 Terminal Server Software Installation Guide, VMS (SynOptics part
number 893-163-B), which describes procedures that you use to install Model 3395
software on VAX/VMS hosts.
