transceiver
The physical device that interfaces between the network and the local node.
When talking about networks, the term transceiver generally refers to any
connector that actively converts signals between the network and the local
node. An example of a transceiver is a MAU.
TSM
Terminal Server Manager. TSM is a software package that allows terminal
servers on a network to be remotely managed from another node. It is
supported on VMS systems running MOP and is incompatible with TCP/IP-
only networks.
virtual port
A partially-configured port containing default setup information that is given
to logins.When users log into the Server through the network or start a new
session, they are not connected to any physical port, so they rely on the virtual
port to manage the connection initially. When the user logs out or the Server is
rebooted, the virtual port disappears.
Rather than force each user to configure his port every time he logs in, a
“template” port can be configured. Setup made to this port (port 0) will be
applied to each new virtual port on the Server. For example, if port 0 has
Broadcast enabled, all of the incoming logins will also enabled it, unless they
explicitly use the Set Port command to disable it after they log in. Other than
this, the virtual ports behave much like the physical ports.
Due to system resource limitations, there is a limit of 16 virtual ports on the
Server.
